Introduction to the Deep Mixing Methods as Used in Geotechnical Applications.Volume 3: The Verification and Properties of Treated Ground

摘要

The Deep Mixing Method (DMM) is an in situ soil treatment technology whereby thesoil is blended with cementitious and/or other materials. This third report focuses closely on the properties of soils treated by DMM and aspects of quality control, quality assurance and verification. This report expands on the illustrative details previously provided in Volumes 1 and II. The engineering properties of treated soils, as reported in the international technical press, are reviewed together with the construction parameters and materials used to treat them. Sources of information include data from routine production tests, special laboratory and field tests, and more qualitative statements made in overview by specialists in the DMM technology. Methods of process control and verification of performance are also discussed since these are key issues in the minds of current and potential users.
