Deep Mixing Design for Raising Levee Section, LPV 111 New Orleans, LA
This paper covers the design of levee section LPV 111, part of the New Orleans flood protection system. The Deep Mixing Method (DMM) was used to stabilize the soft organic soils below the levee to increase global stability and reduce settlements such that the levee could be built to meet design requirements within a compressed schedule. The design was based on a DMM strength of 690 kN/m2, which was achievable in the soft organic clays. Spoil material generated by the DMM process was incorporated into the levee fill after testing showed that it provided a high quality fill material. This reduced the amount of imported fill required by about 400,000 m3. As part of the Corps of Engineers' Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) process, the contractor provided input to optimize the design based on the contractor's experience, tooling, and equipment. This paper documents the design constraints, methods of analysis, subsurface conditions prior to construction, and properties of the deep mixed ground.
