The use of soil mixing (SM) to improve the engineering and environmental properties of soft
or contaminated ground has increased widely since its genesis. Growing interest for SM …

This research proposes a novel performance-based design concept to characterize the
horizontal displacement of DCM walls and the responsiveness of wall displacement to wall …

This study compared the performance of steel and polypropylene fibres, with a dosage of 50
kg/m3, used to reinforce a soft soil chemically stabilised for a constant binder quantity of 375 …

Ground improvement has been one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving areas of
geotechnical engineering and construction over the past 40 years. The need to develop …

This article presents the results of experimental research on the behaviour of deep cement
mixing (DCM) walls during excavation up to failure. For this purpose, a novel laminar box …

The application of soil mix technology in Belgium is sharply increasing. Next to soil
improvement applications, soil mix walls are extensively used for excavation support. The …

This paper first describes the soil mix procedures applied in Belgium. Then, it concentrates
on the influence of soil inclusions (un-mixed materials) on the soil mix structural behaviour …

To begin the process of understanding the mechanical behavior of a cement-soft soil
mixture, a series of consolidation tests and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests …

Secant pile walls reinforced with steel I-beams are widely used worldwide. Although ground
surface settlement caused by the installation of secant pile walls has been investigated …

Excavation in Sabkha soils, found in coastal regions of Saudi Arabia, presents complex
challenges in construction due to their unique geotechnical characteristics. These soils are …
