Cement Deep Mixing for Levee Repair in Louisiana, USA
Cement deep mixing (CDM) was selected as a ground improvement technology and designed to treat the soft ground of a 2224 m long section of levee along the west bank of the Mississippi River for emergency repair. The project owned by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) was a part of the Louisiana Hurricane Protection Project. A series of overlapping CDM columns (panels) oriented in the transverse direction of the levee was installed. The primary purpose of these panels was to provide shear resistance to the levee against lateral loads at high flood water conditions. In addition, these panels were designed to support the additional vertical load generated by the increased height of the levee and to control the long-term settlement of the remediated levee, which might otherwise occur due to the compression of the soft foundation soils. A total of 41,500 m3 of CDM was produced.
