CMC Foundation System for Embankment Support—A Case History
A wide range of deep foundation systems has recently been developed for construction of embankments on soft soils. Controlled Modulus Columns (CMC) is one technique of ground modification, originally developed in France, for support of light structures such as highway and railway embankments. This paper presents the case history of a column supported embankment project in which 2193 CMC columns were installed up to a depth of 12.5 m to minimize settlement of an embankment. Main challenges were soft ground condition of the site, and the need for an accelerated construction technology for timely delivery of the project. Evaluation of various alternatives, design considerations, construction related issues and monitoring system are discussed in detail.
