 INTRODUCTION
Ground Improvement/Ground Treatment

Technique that improves engineering

properties of soil mass

Controlled alteration of state, nature or

Objectives Of Ground Improvement Techniques
Prepare ground for new construction
projects

Increase strength, settlement and

seepage control

Reduce risk of liquefaction ,

shrinkage and swelling of soils
 Factors Affecting Selection Of Ground

-Soil Properties
Method Of selected ground improvement techniques:
Vibroflotation: Vibro-compaction
Vibroflot
lowered into
ground
Vibrating unit
is raised and
Water jet creates
quick condition in
vibrates for
soil 30 s

Granular material
is poured into
hole
Advantages Of The Selected Method

Fast, economical,
Foundation
settlement Reliable
Risk of liquefaction Does not harm
environment
Disadvantages Of The Selected Method

Effective only in granular, cohesionless soil

Detailed soil analysis required

Comprehensive understanding of soil profile
