| In-situ soil improvement techniques have been intensively studied and successfully applied in last two decade. Basically, these methods
involve the in-situ inclusion of a reinforcing element into the ground to improve its engineering parameters or to transfer the load to a competent material. The behavior of the reinforced ground is thus influenced by the characteristics of both the inclusion and the natural ground. In-situ soil improvement is usually applied to;
1) Increase the bearing capacity of a weak soil, 2) Reduce total and differential settlement, 3) Improve the stability of embankments and cut slopes, 4) Act earth as an retaining wall, 5) Reduce the liquefaction potential of the soil, etc. Mostly used types of in-situ soil l improvements are; • Jetgrouting • Stone columns • Micro piles ~ Bored piles applications • Vibro applications • Dynamic Compaction • Injection • Soil Mixing • Pile Loading |   |
