By not considering the s<strong>of</strong>tening <strong>and</strong> loss <strong>of</strong> strength <strong>of</strong> the subsoil, which had a significant contribution in foundation<br />
settlements, the computed settlements were much smaller than the recorded values in Figure 19. Ignoring the loss <strong>of</strong><br />
shear strength mechanism has made the settlement <strong>of</strong> the gravel drains to be much smaller than the non-remediated case.<br />
However the efficiency <strong>of</strong> the compacted piles in reducing the rate <strong>and</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> settlement is demonstrated in the<br />
numerical simulations too.<br />
