ABSTRACT
Dry jet mixing (DJM) is an in situ stabilization method which has been applied for large number of projects in Nordic and Asian countries for over two decades. The DJM method has been applied to increase bearing capacity and to reduce settlement and deformation of various infrastructure systems. This paper presents the case history of a large scale reconstruction project in Japan in which DJM method was employed to improve the foundation of a dike, 2000 m in length, that was damaged due to ground liquefaction caused by earthquake. Details of the project, damage assessment, rationale for selecting remedial measure, and considerations in design and construction are discussed.
