<p>The liquefaction phenomenon is usually accompanied by a large amount of settlement. Based on the observations made in past earthquakes, ground improvement by densification is one of the most useful approaches to reduce the liquefaction-induced settlement. ...

Jet grouting has increasingly become one of the ground improvement technologies used to address seepage concerns and to provide strength improvement of soils. The technique of jet grouting uses high pressure/velocity jet fluids to erode the existing soil and ...

<p>Ground Improvement techniques are often used to improve sub soil properties in terms of their bearing capacity, shear strength, settlement characteristics, drainage, etc. These techniques have a wide range of applicability from coarse grained soils to ...

Drilled displacement piles (also known as augured cast-in-place displacement piles or augured, pressure-injected displacement piles) are installed by the displacement of soil and subsequent placement of cement grout within the evacuated volume. Depending on ...

This paper examines the conditions prior to and following the installation of drilled displacement piles at sandy sites using the cone penetration test. The data support that the installation of drilled displacement piles results in a substantial increase ...

<p>This report contains literature review on the current analytical and numerical methods of the design of piled embankments. In this report, the current design methods are analysed and discussed. At the end of the report, required further research, which ...

<p>A brief overview of jet grouting in Brazil is followed by &ldquo;why and when&rdquo; basics in relation to ground improvement for safe tunnel excavating. A number of case histories are reported - mostly NATM tunnels involving what were seen as difficult, ...

Tunnelling induced deformations of a historic building, Chongsi Building, in Shanghai, China, are reported. The construction site located in Xuhui District, along the Metro line 11, and at the site the thickness of soft soil layer, soft clay and clayey silt, ...

The subsurface conditions for a proposed six-story $94M medical facility in Knoxville, Tennessee, consisted of a thick clay layer overlying an irregular weathered limestone bedrock surface. Because the design loads were significant and because of the sinkhole ...
