A series of full scale tests have been undertaken to assess the performance of ground strengthening methods to improve seismic performance of liquefiable soils in the Christchurch area. The tests used sequences of explosive charges to simulate seismic shaking ...

This paper presents the design for a new patent pending deep soil mixing (DMM) wall system using DSM techniques that utilize an array of soil-cement mixed columns arranged in the native soil in a manner that creates a gravity block. This gravity block resists ...

The paper describes current United States practice for Deep Soil Mixing (over 12 meters in depth), and Shallow Soil Mixing for vertical barriers and stabilization/solidification, and Jet Grouting for horizontal and vertical barriers. Creating very low permeability ...

B.C. Environment Lands and Parks constructed a groundwater control system using deep cut-off walls as part of their commitment to protection of the environment and their contractual responsibility as former owners of the lands. The construction of the groundwater ...

This paper presents two case studies of soil mixint for the improvement of the properties of soils for pollution problmes. Soil mixing offers a proven, inexpensive method for stabilizing or fixating contaminated soils and sludges

This paper presents the ground improvement by the use of shallow soil mixing for large effluent storage tanks foundations.

Guidelines for specifying proper construction procedures and equipment for different soil types will help ensure that the proper results will be attained in the field. By using the proper procedures and equipment, adequate mixing can be obtained to create ...

A method of installing vertical barrieres for contamination remediation is presented. The technique is known as deep soil mixing and is capable of reaching depths of 35m or more and installin a barrier with in a few feet of existing structures

The deep soil mixing method appears to have great promise as a method for creating deep foundations, retaining walls, areal soil improvement and even underwater foundations. A pre job test for liquefaction remediation of Jackson lake dam is presented.

Excavation for a cut and cover highway tunnel underpass was designed and constructed using deep soil mixing in order to limit ground movements.
