COURSE INTRODUCTION & OUTLINE:

Ground improvement is required, wherever problematic soils/rocks are encountered. The basic purpose is to make the subsurface conditions suitable for construction purposes. There are various methods of ground improvement available and the selection of a technique or a combination of techniques depends upon several factors. The different purposes of ground improvement and a brief description of the different methods and their selection criteria are presented in this webinar.

Additionally, the success rate of any ground-improvement technique depends upon how much we have understood the subsurface conditions at the project site. Understanding the index and engineering properties of soils is essential before using the soil-stabilization techniques. The proportioning of materials and fixing the dose of stabilizers depends upon the properties of the soils to be stabilized. The effectiveness of many of the deep compaction methods (e.g. blasting, freezing, dynamic compaction, etc.) largely depends upon the presence of groundwater flow and/or site drainage conditions.
