Examples of ground improvement applications for earthquake design

NZ Society for Earthquake Engineering (NZSEE) Conference 2023 Auckland

The ground improvement applications and examples in this paper are planned to augment MBIE Module 5. This paper presents some ground improvement applications and their design and specification for earthquake hazard mitigation. Ground improvement methods by densification using vibro compaction and stone columns and solidification methods such as soil mixing and jet grouting are discussed. Show more…Design approaches are demonstrated through key considerations (applicability, construction methodology and quality control), and the applications of each selected method are discussed. Show less…
