Some Practical Considerationsin the Design of DeepSoil-Cement Mixing Applications Demetrious C. Koutsoftas URS Corporation
Major Applications 1. Excavations and Shoring 2. Ground Improvement/Lateral Spreading Barriers 3. Deep Foundations 4. Cut-off Walls
Foundation Design Applications • 1. Soil-Cement Piles • Mobilization of Skin Friction • Lateral Stresses/Deformations • Grout Permeation • 2. Soil-Cement Cylindrical Shafts • Reinforcement • Lateral Support

Excavations and Shoring • 1. Spacing of Soldier Piles and Behavior of Soil-Cement Between the Piles • 2. Special Applications with Jet-Grout Base Struts • Base Stability • Deformations • Anchorage • Wall Embedment
