| Abstract | A full-scale test embankment on Deep Mixing improved ground
with two different configurations, namely wall type and pile
type, were constructed and subjected to loading. Field
observations were made during and after embankment
construction, in order to elucidate the behavior of the
improved ground with the different configuration. The measured
results indicated that: (1) The laterai movement and settlement
of wall type improved ground are less than that of pile type
improved ground, when subjected to the same loading. ( 2) The
deformation pattern of pile type improved ground is simple
shear type deformation, where the bending stress is developed
in the improved soil , whereas the deformation pattern of wall
type is sliding. Both of these results indicated that the wall
type improved ground is more effective in resisting against
horizontal loading than the pile type improved ground. |
