Numerous alternatives exist for foundation systems and construction technologies. The systems can be described by different criteria values which are incorporated in the conventional design process. Decision on the most suitable construction technology is vital for success and depends on many effectiveness criteria. The business success depends on the right choice. The mandate of a construction management researcher is to use rational, systematic, science-based techniques to inform and improve various decisions. The paper presents multiple criteria decision making model for selection of a pile-column technology. The technological criteria are determined by an experimental study. Based on in-situ investigation of natural soil conditions, criteria values are determined. The decision making model incorporates five different methods and techniques. To solve a problem, it uses three multiple criteria decision making methods. Integrated criteria weights are determined by using the analytic hierarchy process and the expert judgement method. This model could be used to solve complicated problems pertaining to the selection of a construction technology.

The design difficulties for rigid sewer pipe and timber pile supports in low-strength soils are reviewed. A proposal is developed to serve as a rational basis of design for assessing vertical and horizontal loads, pile and pile cap selection, flexural design and strength of the pipe to resist vertical loading, pile fixity, and pile column design. Examples of the calculation procedure are given and conclusions by others based on field testing of flexurally reinforced pipe are presented.

A stiffened deep mixed (SDM) column can significantly increase the bearing capacity, reduce settlement, and enhance the slope stability of soft clays as compared with a conventional deep mixed (DM) column. This technique involves inserting plain concrete, reinforced concrete or a steel pile into the center of the DM column after the DM column is constructed. In this paper, a series of centrifugal modeling tests were conducted to investigate the performance of an SDM column-supported embankment over soft clay. A model embankment supported only by DM columns was constructed for comparison. Two ideal numerical models of column-reinforced soil under equal stress and equal strain conditions were established to explore the role the column played in accelerating soil consolidation. A parametric study was conducted to investigate the influence factors of the length of the core pile, column spacing, thickness of the underlying soil, modulus and thickness of the cushion, and modulus of the slab on the load transfer of the system, and some recommendations were proposed for its application. The load-transfer mechanism of an SDM column-supported embankment system with a slab was established based on the development of the volumetric strains and the principal stresses in the numerical models.
