Ground Improvement Solutions
Introduction
Ground improvement, is the modification of existing site foundation soils to provide better performance under design and/or operational loading conditions.
Ground improvement techniques are used increasingly for new projects to allow utilization of sites with poor subsurface conditions.
Previously, these poor soils were considered as economically unjustifiable or technically not feasible and are often replaced with an engineered fill or location of the project is changed.
In short, Ground improvement is executed to increase the bearing capacity, reduce the magnitude of settlements and the time in which it occurs, retard seepage, accelerate the rate at which drainage occurs, increase the stability of slopes, mitigation of liquefaction potential, etc. Based on the soil conditions, a suitable method of ground improvement should be considered keeping in view of the economic feasibility as well as the time frame.
In practice, ground improvement is widely used in a broad construction spectrum from industrial, commercial and housing projects to infrastructure construction for dams, tunnels, ports, roadways and embankments. This paper presents two different ground improvement techniques along with a case history for each of the technique as an example.
Application
With the help of Geosynthetics product , our design team provides so many cost effective alternative solutions to improve the engineering property of the soil .
Advantages
Due to various functions and advantages geosynthetics are the best option in geotechnical projects. New emerging field for geosynthetics as foundation isolator to reduce seismic energy transmitted to buildings can be very cost effective. It is also a simpler alternative to earthquake hazard mitigation measures conventionally used in current engineering practice. Ground improvement methods enhance weak compressible soils as well as unsuitable soils and contaminated soils, reforming them into different soils which are stronger and more durable. Its deduct the cost benefits of ground improvement include:
A quicker project time as design and implementation are fast
Reduced or no disposal costs as hardly any waste
Easier sub-structure design and construction
Effective on various soil types
Cost effective and less time consuming process
