The Ground Improvement Toolbox for Liquefaction Hazard Mitigation: Three Case Histories
Ground improvement is often an effective option for mitigating liquefaction-induced hazards for new or existing structures, embankments, tanks, or other facilities. In these cases, ground improvement typically includes one or more of the following modifications to the soil: 1) densification, 2) shear reinforcement, 3) cementation, and 4) enhanced drainage conditions. The ground improvement ‘toolbox’ contains techniques capable of seismic hazard mitigation for a wide range of soil conditions. Following a brief discussion on liquefaction triggering and the engineering mechanics involved for using ground improvement for liquefaction-hazard mitigation, three case histories are presented herein. The case histories will describe the design and execution of projects using the following ground improvement methods: 1) vibro-replacement for soil densification, 2) deep soil mixing for soil shear reinforcement, and 3) earthquake drains for improved drainage conditions.
