| Abstract | This research is concerned with the review and studies of
soil improvement in Thailand. Compaction, precompression,
grouting, soil reinforcement and admixture stabilization
techniques are reviewed. In each technique, its principle,
effective ness, suitable soil types, material used, equipment, properties of treated soils and its applications are
tabulated. the application to construction works and studies
about soil improvement carried out in Thailand are also reviewed. Mechanical compaction are widely used in highway and dam constructions but none of deep compaction methods are employed
in Thailand. Sand drains, surcharge fills and electro-osmosis have been employed to solve tile settlement of soft clays.
Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand has used grouting
for foundation treatment for many years. Department of
Highways also employed the cement, lime and some chemical to stabilize the poor properties of construction 2aterials for
economical purpose and the satisfactory results were obtained. The above soil stabilization techniques are recommended to improve the slope stability, soil compressibility and material
properties. |
