Vibro-Stabilization Method of Ground Improvement
There are two methods of ground improvement or soil stabilization, i.e. by using surface rolling and by using vibro-stabilization methods. While surface rolling method is used for stabilizing or compacting soils on the top layer, vibro-stabilization method is used for ...
Reinforced Earth Structures – Materials and Design Criteria
Reinforced Earth or Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) is soil constructed with artificial reinforcing. It can be used for retaining walls, bridge abutments, dams, seawalls, and dikes. Although the basic principles of MSE has been used throughout history, MSE was developed ...
