Soil mixing (for ground improvement)
Terratest
It consists of boring columns by combining soil with cement or with a mixture of cement and lime, wither in the form of lime wash (wet) or powder (dry). In this case the mixture is hydrated with the water contained in the ground.
This soil treatment is applied to very soft, generally organic soils, such as sea or river mud
As with other soil improvement techniques, its design depends on the prevailing soil conditions, the loads to be applied and the permitted seats, taking into account that the pile works mainly as a shank so that it does not need to be embedded in firm terrain.
