title = "Assessing improvement effects of sand compaction pile in an ash pond",
abstract = "This paper presents the ground response in detail during installing sand compaction pile(SCP) in an ash pond. The response includes the pore pressure change and lateral ground deformation. Improvement effect of SCP is accurately evaluated by SPT and SCPT investigation methods through a careful planning and execution. All the results of different methods are highly consistent with each other and the corresponding ground response behavior. The results show that the effect of using SCP to improve coal ash deposit is significant except for the shallow layer above the ground water level owing to its low confining stress. The CPT investigation has the highest resolution to identify the improvement effect and is highly recommended to be used in engineering practice.",
