Abstract

The disclosure relates to a device for reinforcing a ground on which is disposed a loading structure. Threaded inclusions are disposed vertically within the ground and reinforce said ground. The core diameter of threaded inclusions is between 250 mm and 450 mm and the external diameter is between 350 mm and 600 mm. A load transmitting layer is interposed between the ground and the loading structure disposed thereon, so as to transmit and distribute the load from the loading structure to both the ground and the plurality of inclusions. A ratio between a distance between axes of two adjacent inclusions and the internal diameter of said adjacent inclusions is between 4 and 14, and the inclusions are made from a material having a specified 28-day compressive strength between 5 MPa and 35 MPa.
