State-of-Practice Review of Deep Soil Mixing Techniques in China

Abstract

Deep soil mixing techniques have been widely adopted in China since the late 1970s and mainly used for ground improvement for structural support and earth-retaining structures for excavations. A comprehensive state-of-practice review on development, applications, soil-cement properties, mechanistic studies, design methods, and quality control of deep soil mixing techniques in China is presented. These research results will serve as a reference for advancing deep soil mixing techniques in the United States and other countries.
