Abstract
A compaction sand piling technique was abandoned after it caused excessive vibrations in buildings adjacent to the construction site. Various alternatives were evaluated, but none could provide certainty of acceptance by the residential community without causing schedule delay and other construction complications. A vibration-free jet grouting method was, therefore adopted for ground improvement to reduce liquefaction potential at the site. Modifications in grouting procedure details were implemented to overcome problems caused by the site conditions.

Jet Grouting to Reduce Liquefaction Potential
St. Louis, Missouri
A compaction sand piling technique was abandoned after it caused excessive vibrations in buildings adjacent to the construction site. Various alternatives were evaluated, but none could provide certainty of acceptance by the residential community without causing schedule delay and other construction complications. A vibration-free jet grouting method was, therefore adopted for ground improvement to reduce liquefaction potential at the site. Modifications in grouting procedure details were implemented to overcome problems caused by the site conditions.
