<p>This paper presents a thorough study on various available modern ground improvement techniques and their applications in civil engineering in present scenario. On the basis of long term performance results of various ground improvement techniques and its ...

Among soil improvement techniques used to increase strength of loose and<br>medium-dense sand deposits are the dynamic means, such as vibrocompaction and blasting. Sands often exhibit a drop in cone penetration resistance immediately after the disturbance, ...

This paper presents results of ground vibrations measured on two projects where ground densification was performed with both conventional Dynamic Compaction, using a crane, and Rapid Impact Compaction using an excavator mounted hydraulic hammer rig. The gathered ...

<p>In many ground improvement projects the preliminary field testing method is different from the tests that are carried out later. Hence, it may be necessary to correlate the two tests for comparative purposes. Dynamic Compaction, using pounders weighing ...
