ABSTRACT
With the ever increasing population,
there is a need to increase the available land
area for living and to serve the other needs of
this increasing population. But due to
limitations in the available land, we need to use
the useless soil by stabilizing it. This led to
major development in the field of ground
improvement.
There are various methods and devices
to stabilize land and one method that is
commonly used worldwide is grouting or
injecting a liquid (cement and additives) into
voids within the soil, or displacing the gases. Jet
grouting is one such grouting technique which
has many major applications in the field of soil
stabilization.
In this paper, we investigate the various
available soil stabilization techniques and
briefly investigate on types, prospects of jet
grouting and its applications in foundation
engineering.
INTRODUCTION
Ground improvement is used to address a
wide range of geotechnical engineering
problems, including, but not limited to, the
following:
Improvement of soft or loose soil to reduce
settlement, increase bearing resistance, and/or to
improve overall stability for structure and wall
foundations and/or for embankments.
To mitigate liquefiable soils.
To improve slope stability for landslide
mitigation.
To retain otherwise unstable soils.
To improve workability and usability of fill
materials.
To accelerate settlement and soil shear strength
gain.
