ABSTRACT

Of all forms of ground improvement systems, jet grouting must be regarded as one of the most versatile. With this technique it is possible to strengthen in-situ soils, cut off groundwater, and provide structural rigidity with a single application. In particular, jet grouting can create the highest-strength treated ground (soilcrete) of all the ground improvement systems. It can also be regarded as one of the most technically demanding of ground improvement systems requiring both technical excellence in design and construction because failure of either component will result in failure of the product.
