Making gravel pylons is one of the methods of improving soil characteristics i.e. increasing soil density. It can easily be used to avoid expensive replacement of materials, especially when it comes to large‐ volume facilities. Gravel pylons reduce the risk of liquefaction, which is very important for seismic areas such as Banja Luka. It is necessa...
