Ground improvement utilizes several techniques to enhance soil properties for better foundation support. One common method is consolidation, which accelerates natural settlement by applying pressure or vacuum to reduce pore water and strengthen the soil. Load reduction involves reducing the weight on the soil, often using lightweight materials to prevent excessive settlement. Densification methods such as vibro-compaction and dynamic compaction are used to increase the density of granular soils and improve their bearing capacity. Reinforcement techniques, including rock bolts, drilling anchors, and cable anchors, provide additional strength and stability to the soil. Deep mixing stabilizes the soil by mixing it with cement or other agents to enhance strength and stiffness. Grouting injects a cement or chemical grout into the soil to fill voids and reduce permeability. Finally, load transfer methods like piles and mats help distribute the load from weak soil to stronger layers beneath. The choice of method depends on soil conditions and project needs.
