Abstract: It is a challenge to select the proper ground improvement techniques for the construction that involves thick fill materials. This paper presents a project located in Huaian, Jiangsu Province which successfully utilized composite ground with rigid column (RC) foundation to improve the ground conditions for three structures. The composite ground with rigid column (RC) foundation was proven to be technically sound and economically effective.
