Committee Notes
- The interest level for soil mixing
remains high among the engineering community in the US and Canada.
Other countries of interest also include Mexico and South America. The recent awareness of levee
deficiencies across the nation, and the performance grading/risk analysis
performed by the COE, has earmarked several levee systems and embankments as
potential candidates for upgrading by improving the insitu shear strength of
the foundation soils. What better way to improve this material than by soil
mixing? Port development is also another area of interest for the soil mixing
process, as is seismic upgrading of embankments and earthen dams in areas of
high seismic activity.
