    Vu Nguyen
    This document discusses various principles and methods of ground improvement. It describes densification and consolidation as two key principles, involving rearrangement of soil particles and drainage/reduction of voids respectively. It also discusses chemical modification and displacing/reinforcing unsuitable soils. Specific ground improvement methods covered include vibro compaction, dynamic compaction, compaction grouting, prefabricated vertical drains, deep mixing, and jet grouting. Each method utilizes different techniques like vibration, impact, injection, drainage, or mixing to improve soil properties.

    Ground Improvement Methods

    Vibro ground compaction

    Compaction of granular soils by depth vibrators : Vibro Compaction.

    - The principle of sand compaction (Vibroflotation):


    The compaction process consists of a flotation of the soil particles as a
    result of vibration, wich then allows for a rearrangement of the particles into
    a denser state.

    Dynamic compaction

    The basic principle behind the technique consists in the transmission of


    high energy waves in order to improve weak subsoil. As a result of the
    impact the soil is compacted depending on its condition, structure and
    depth.

    Compaction grouting

    Compaction grouting is a technique employing injection of grout-soil


    mix into soil under pressure. The technology allows forming the
    columns of different diameters and lengths depending on the ground
    conditions making this technique extremely efficient in highly stratified
    soils.

    Prefabricated Vertical Drain

    The principle of vertical drainage


    The purpose of vertical drain system is to shorten the drainage path of the pore
    water from a low permeable layer to free water surface
    . Application of ground improvement method using prefabricated vertical drains
    (PVD) coupled with surcharge or preloading can significantly shorten the
    period of primary settlement.

    Deep Mixing Method

    The principle of the DSM is to improve the strength properties of the soil by
    mixing it with the binder (e.g. cement slurry, cement-fly ash slurry or bentonite).
    As a result, a solidified mixture of soil and cement is created with considerably
    higher strength and mechanical parameters. Deep soil mixing consists in the
    introduction of a rotating auger with a special design into the subsoil which
    destroys the soil structure and mixes it with the injected binder.

    Jet grouting method

    Jet-grouting improves the mechanical characteristics of the soil using


    a fluid jetting with very high kinetic energy that breaks up the soil
    structure and mixes the soil particles in-situ with a grout to create a
    homogeneous mass of high strength reinforced soil-cement material.
