Introduction
CONCEPT OF GROUND IMPROVEMENTGround improvement is defined as the
controlled alteration of the state, nature or mass behavior of ground materials in order to achieve an intended satisfactory response to existing or projected environmental and engineering actions.
PRINCIPLES OF GROUND IMPROVEMENT
1. Densification (loose sands) : Resettlement of Granular Particles
2. Consolidation (cohesive) : Drainage and reduction of voids
3. Chemical modification : Hardening by addition of binders
4. Displace & reinforce : Pushing unsuitable soils aside installing hard elements

Ground Improvement: Soil Dependency
Ground Improvement: Suitability
Choice of Technique Suitability of Technique• Are the encountered soil and suggested
technique fundamentally compatible?Technical Compliance• Does the suggested technique satisfy the
design requirements ? (strength or stiffness?)
Availability Of Material• Is the required material (stone, cement)
readily available?Cost• Is the proposed technique within the
budget? What is the cost of time when there is saving?
Protection Of The Environment • Does the suggested technique reduce or
avoid pollution? Is the technique resource efficient?

Geotechnical Solutions General Approach• DEEP FOUNDATIONS : For settlement sensitive
structures • SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS : For lightly loaded
structures pump house, drive house, cable gallery, sub-station etc.
Geotechnical Value Addition Combination of ground improvement and bored
piles Ground improvement using vibro stone columns
(dry bottom feed method) was suggested.
Addressing Lateral Capacity of Piles
Stone Columns of 0.5m dia. Installed at the centre and surrounding two piles

Conclusions1. Ground improvement techniques such as
dry vibro stone columns, deep soil mixing, jet grouting, prefabricated vertical drains can be used to provide optimal foundations.
2. These techniques can be used both for heavy, tall and settlement sensitive structures and also for smaller simpler structures
3. Optimal foundations offer savings in cost, time, materials, convenience and protection to the environment
4. Excellent soil information, a correct choice of technique, good equipment, experienced people, testing and monitoring during and after construction is essential for successful project completion. Operational
