Chemical Grouting
Manual of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers providing guidance on the selection of materials, equipment and processes to be used in chemical grouting.
Compensation Grouting to Solve a Long Term Problem
Voids left by thousands of rotting timber piles have been threatening Edinburgh's Royal Scottish Academy with risk of failure, apparently for the past 30 years.
Finding New Variations On Ground Improvement Techniques
Ground improvement contractors are rising to the challenge by finding innovative variations on the basic vibro stone column methods, which in turn are increasing the applications for ground improvement techniques.
Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Piers: A Bridge From the Past to the Present
A GRS pier at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center was loaded to 9800 kilonewtons (2.2 million pounds force) and could have supported more.
Grouting Technology
Manual of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers providing technical guidance for grouting operations in civil works
Improved Techniques for Foundations in Soft Soil
Combined soil stabilisation with vertical columns (CSV) is a way of improving the load bearing and settlement characteristics of soils that are too soft for conventional vibro stone column techniques, or where there is inadequate end bearing for vibro concrete columns. Historically, the solution would have been to use a more traditional approach such as piling.
Numerical Methods With Experimental Soil Response In Predicting Vibrations From Dynamic Sources
Numerical methods are presented to predict complete vibration response of the soil, buildings or sensitive instruments caused by anticipated, future vibration sources such as construction or heave industry.
Rapid Stabilisation Of Embankments Using Self Drilling / Soil Nails
Soil nailing has proved to be a rapid means of stabilising weak embankments on the Kettering to Corby and Manton railway line near Uppingham in Rutland.
Soil Mechanics and Testing
Course lecture notes and an introduction to the subjects.
Soil Stabilization for Pavements
Technical manual of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Soil Stiffness Gauge for Soil Compaction Control
As with most construction today, the emphasis on cost control and quality control of soil is prompting the implementation of mechanistic designs, performance specifications, and contractor warranties.
Use Of Deep Soil Mixing To Combat Soft Soils
Deep soil mixing has been used to combat soft soils on the Botlek rail tunnel project in Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
Use Of Expander Body Soil Anchors In Stiff Clay
The main advantage of the system is the way in which applied load is resisted. In conventional anchors, the majority of the load is taken by skin friction but with the expander body, capacity is derived by soil resisting the movement of the body.
Use Of Minipiles In Temporary Works For A Soil Nailing Project
Expansion of the Merry Hill retail, leisure and commercial development in the Midlands involved relocating of a petrol station onto an old slag heap, a relic from the steel production that once occupied the area.
