Ground Improvement at the Henry Ford Avenue Grade Separation
The Alameda Corridor included a grade separation with mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) approach embankments 9.5 meters high located over loose potentially liquefiable and compressible soils. Because the site elevation was below sea level, relatively impervious vibro concrete columns (VCC) were used to avoid flooding. Also, because of the site's various and discontinuous layers of sandy and clayey soils, prescriptive ground improvement was selected. The designers were unaware of any experience with VCC in the Western United States or using VCC to reduce liquefaction potential.
