These techniques use physical force to reduce air voids and increase soil density. Soil Improvement and Ground Modification Methods
: Enhancing bearing capacity and shear strength to support heavier loads. Soil improvement and ground modification methods
: Minimizing future settlement and volume instability (shrinking/swelling). These techniques use physical force to reduce air
: Removing the risk of soil liquefaction during earthquakes or major vibrations. Major Categories of Improvement Methods 1. Mechanical Modification (Soil Densification) Soil improvement and ground modification methods
: Restricting or promoting groundwater flow depending on project needs.
