A Review on Ground Improvement Techniques to Improve Soil Stability against Liquefaction

Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (2. Language): 
Liquefaction is one of the cardinal concern to the geotechnical engineers as well as those involved in the building and development of structural foundations. To strengthen the subsoil properties in terms of its bearing capacity, shear strength, and settlement; ground improvement techniques are often used. This paper reviews three ground improvement techniques suitable for remedial work near existing structures. Three techniques includes- compaction grouting, permeation grouting, and jet grouting. Suitable method can be selected according to loading conditions, characteristics of soil, project type and cost. The factors which influence the efficacy of a particular technique are identified. From the advantages and drawbacks stated, a combination of techniques may provide the most cost-effective ground improvement solution for preventing damage to existing lives resulting from liquefaction-induced settlement and uplift.
