Bridge approaches provide a smooth and safe transition of vehicles from highway pavements to bridge structures and vice versa. Settlement at the end of the bridge and highway pavements also known as a ‘bump’ in the roadway, causes not only inconvenience to ...

Bridge approaches provide smooth and safe transition of vehicles from highway pavements to bridge structures. However, settlement of the bridge approach slab relative to bridge decks usually creates a bump in the roadway. The bump causes inconvenience to passengers ...

The purpose of this study is to document the performance and effectiveness of two mitigation techniques, geosynthetic reinforced fill and flowable fill, installed behind four Wisconsin bridges. Two of the bridges (Hemlock and Cranberry bridges) are founded ...

<p>The ground improvement performed at the site of two 190-ft (57.9 m) diameter, 40-ft (12.2 m) high, 8 million-gallon (30,300 m3), circular steel water storage tanks consisted of installation of stone columns to mitigate liquefaction and lateral spreading ...

<p>This report is a discussion of the bridge approach settlement or movement problem that is so prevalent in the United States. An explanation and or description is given of the causes of these movements as described in the literature. A discussion concerning ...

In recent years many projects use deep-soil-mixing columns for the improvement of soft ground. These methods permit accelerated construction of embankments and protect adjacent facilities that might otherwise be damaged by settlements induced by the new embankment ...

The use of soil mixing for providing stabilization of soft or loose soils has been successfully applied for liquefaction mitigation, steel reinforced retaining walls, groundwater cutoff walls, etc.
