Soil Improvement

Soil ImprovementSoil improvement is a pack of solutions to help the soil to tolerate the applied loads and conditions in a safe and determined manner. Solutions like compaction and RIC and stone columns, soil replacement, drainage, grouting, soil mixing and so on, are mainly used in this regard.

Top-Down Construction Method

Top-Down Construction Method

Top-down method is a rapid method which enables builders to construct the substructure and superstructure simultaneously. Likewise it is used as an excavation stabilization method in cases where you can’t or you are not allowed to use the other geotechnical methods such as soil nailing and soil anchorage.

Soil Anchorage

Soil Anchorage

Soil anchorage is an active method for stabilizing inclined lands and excavations. In this method soil wall is drilled up to 20 cm and to enough depth, then preassemble steel reinforcement is placed in the drilled hole and the cement bass grout is injected in the hole. Then it is activated by prestressing hydraulic jacks to stabilize the excavation and incline lands.

Shotcrete

Shotcrete

Shotcrete is a process of spraying concrete to the soil faced walls to create a concrete facing for reducing erosion and weathering of soil and rock. Also it is a structural part in soil stabilizing methods and tunneling as well. It could be reinforced by steel or PP fibers and steel wire mesh.
