Abstract
Soil improvement techniques for geotechnical construction can be broadly classified as densification, reinforcement, adhesion and excavation/replacement. This paper presents an overview of selected soil improvement techniques, with significant case histories. The soil improvement techniques discussed include Vibro-Compaction, Vibro-Replacement (stone columns), Dynamic Deep Compaction, compaction grouting, chemical grouting, jet grouting and soil fracture grouting.
