ABSTRACT
The French national research project ASIRI (Soil Improvement by the technique of rigid inclusions) aims at developing new design methods for soil improved by the technique of rigid inclusions. An experimental site has been chosen at Saint Ouen l’Aumone which was characterized by a 7-11 m thick layer of soft soil underlying by a substratum. On this test area, a embankment was built on a soft soil reinforced by rigid inclusions and monitored (Simon and Schlosser, 2005).
