Research fields are for example optimized layouts or estimation of main influencing parameters. A lot of successful scientific research is conducted on piles and piling using various numerical methods. Therefore, it is assumed that numerical models can be used to improve ground improvement methods. In this contribution, different ground improvement techniques and numerical models to simulate the influence of these techniques on the surrounding soil are presented. Furthermore, optimization methods and potentials of ground improvement techniques are shown.en0046-5828201738794Deep vibration compactionDynamic compactionGround improvementMathematical optimizationNumerical modelingVibratory rollersVibro replacement stone columnsJournal ArticleOther
