Abstract
Foundation systems with geotextile encased columns (GEC) have been used for soil improvement and primarily for road embankment foundations in Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands for almost 10 years (Raithel et al. 2004), but latterly they are also used in dike construction. In this paper, along with the development of the foundation and calculation systems and projects demonstrated, the essential main features of the calculation of the bearing and deformation behaviour are described.
