Özet

Geotechnical applications frequently demand substantial quantities of concrete and steel, leading to elevated CO2 emissions and costs. This study conducts a comparative settlement analysis of traditional piles versus piles combined with stone columns arranged in various geometrical configurations. The results demonstrate that integrating stone columns significantly reduces both costs and CO2 emissions while maintaining comparable settlement values. This innovative approach offers a sustainable and cost-effective alternative for geotechnical engineering projects, contributing to environmental conservation without compromising structural integrity.
