Rigid Inclusions in Ground Improvement: Performance Insights

Augusto Lucarelli (Principal Engineer) presents the performance-based design of rigid inclusion ground improvement systems using FLAC3D. The study shows why simplified factor-of-safety methods are outdated, emphasizing strain compatibility and soil–structure interaction. Findings reveal that while rigid inclusions effectively reduce vertical settlement, their performance is limited under lateral and seismic loads, underscoring the need to address these behaviors early in design.
