Inclusions beneficially increase soil bearing capacity to make a suitable foundation for individual buildings, roads and similar long narrow works, and structures of large areal extent.
The method consists of installing the necessary number of inclusions to achieve the design settlement performance and safety standard.
Various installation methods (drilling with or without removal of soil, pile driver, vibration) and materials (concrete or mortar, gravel, soil-cement) can be used to achieve the most cost effective system of shallow foundations whose stiffness is compatible with the surrounding ground.

When the loads to be borne are high or concentrated at one point, a possible solution is to use rigid inclusions on the soil as a technique for improving the soil.
These are concrete pieces (which may be reinforced) that spread the loads they bear across shanks as they do not necessarily have to be supported on resistant terrains.
Rigid inclusions can be driven by deep vibration or other techniques that should be noted in the project engineering..

Rigid inclusions
They are put in %u0153uvre by repression of the ground in place and do not produce thus almost any cut.
They allow d%u2019atteindre objectives of more strict compressings according to the selected grid and can even take again concentrated loadings under buildings. They can be armed in order to ensure a greater resistance with respect to the horizontal efforts to them.
A mattress, out of nonputrescible filling materials, is set up between the head of the columns and the base of the structure so d%u2019assurer a burden-sharing between various inclusions.
The works being able to be posed on a ground improved beforehand are those being able to tolerate a certain compressing (approximately 1 cm). For example, the buildings must be studied and rigidified in order to limit the effects of the relative settlements.
