Applicability of Deep Soil Mixing for Use in Embankments and Foundation Support

Abstract

Problematic soils present a difficult challenge for geotechnical engineering due to the high settlement of the soil structure and the often associated high water table and moisture content. The Deep Soil Mixing (DSM) method, which is a soil stabilization technique, has been commonly applied to improve Different parameters of soil. The application covers on-land and in-water constructions ranging from strengthening the foundation ground of buildings, embankment supports, earth retaining structures, retrofit and renovation of urban infrastructures, liquefaction hazards mitigation, man-made island constructions and seepage control. In this paper important parameters that effect in performance of deep soil mixing (DSM) and different design steps of DSM is examined. In this regard embankment investigates when use of DSM with finite element method. the results shows by increase of diameter and height of columns safety factor and settlement decrease but this parameters effects Up to a certain amount Then it is negligible Effect.
