Quality Control and Assurance of the Deep Mixing Method

The deep mixing (DM) method is a composite system that requires geotechnical engineers to understand the interaction of stabilized and unstabilized soils and the engineering characteristics of in-situ stabilized soil. The success of the DM project depends on the quality and geometric layout of the design, which is achieved through process design, production with careful quality control, and quality assurance. This book provides the state of the art and practice of quality control and assurance on deep mixing based on 50 years of experience and research.

The deep mixing (DM) method, which was developed in Japan and Sweden in the 1970s, has gained widespread popularity worldwide. The DM-improved ground is a composite system consisting of stiff stabilized soil and unstabilized soft soil, which requires geotechnical engineers to have a comprehensive understanding of the interaction between stabilized and unstabilized soils and the engineering properties of in-situ stabilized soil. The success of a deep mixing (DM) project cannot solely be attributed to a well-determined geotechnical design; it is only guaranteed when the quality and geometric layout envisioned in the design are successfully realized in the field with a satisfactory level of accuracy. The key challenges in the DM project revolve around process design, production with meticulous quality control, and quality assurance. This book aims to present the current state-of-the-art and practical approaches to quality control and assurance in deep mixing, drawing upon the extensive experience and research efforts accumulated over the past 50 years.
