ABSTRACT

The deep mixing process involves complete remoulding of quick clay into a viscous fluid and mixing with binder materials. The eventual engineering properties of the stabilized material depend on the fabric and particle cementation resulting from the chemical reaction of the binders. These factors are dependent on the nature of the original soil, type and proportions of the binder materials, mixing and curing conditions and the length of the curing period. This is more explained in e.g. Kitazume (2005).
