A Study on Soil Improvement Techniques

Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3

Abstract

Soil is the very important part in construction of foundation of any civil engineering structures. It is required to bear the loads without failure. In some places, soil may be weak which cannot resist the oncoming loads. In such cases, soil stabilization is needed. Numerous methods are available in the literature for soil stabilization. But sometimes, some of the methods like chemical stabilization, lime stabilization etc. adversely affects the chemical composition of the soil. This paper gives an overview of techniques that are commonly used to improve the performance of saturated clayey soil in situ, its functions, methods of installation, the applicable soil types and cost of those techniques.
