Rigid Inclusions
Overview
Design using Finite Element Analysis allows Rigid Inclusions to be one of the most cost efficient forms of ground improvement
While Rigid Inclusions (RI) appear similar to CFA piles, RI are a ground improvement technique. The key difference between RI and piles is that the design of RI distributes the load between the RI and the soil, whereas piles are designed to support 100% of the load. This load sharing provides a very efficient, cost effective solution.
Key Attributes
- Finite element analysis design combined with load share concept allows for a most efficient solution
- Ideal for embankments on soft soil where the embankment material provides load transfer platform at no cost
- Ideal for warehouses and pavements where slab and pavement layer provides load transfer platform at no cost
- Cost effective, fast installation technique
- Almost zero spoil
- Minimal noise and vibration
