In recent days, the science related to the area of ground improvement has advanced.
Especially, technologies namely, Dynamic Compaction or in simple words, crushing and soil mixing among natural environment are very frequent in the modern days.
These technologies are among those that bring changes in the features of the soil, pebbles and stones.
Ground improvement is an important task, which builds the base for good and strong infrastructures.
Along with the advancement in technology in other fields it is evident that infrastructure too, needs to improve.
Now, gradually, people are demanding for houses and building that may save them from the rage of earthquakes.
Thus, ground improvement now helps in giving a layer of protection from the liquefied soil during earthquakes.
These technologies are also helping in reducing the errors or more probably mistakes committed in building of houses and foundations.
Many advanced technologies include jet-grouting, intrusion grouting, Vibrofloatation, mini-piles and wick drains.
In situ mixing the soil, which literally means soil mixing in natural environment has many such names including auger mixing, rotary mixing, cement soil mixing, deep mixing, in situ solidification, in situ stabilization and SMW.
Many classify In situ soil mixing based on levels of mixing.
Thus, mixing has three levels, which are Deep Mixing, Shallow Mixing and Backhoe Stabilization.
The technique of In situ Soil Mixing includes mixing the auger with paddles along with grout ports.
The laborers hole the ground with the grout through the rod or the pole.
The fluid helps to drill and make a soil-cement mix up.
People use the technique of in situ mixing of soil mainly for strong foundations and specifically for treating buried waste or contaminates.
They also apply it with the specific reagents and mediums, of for industrial leftovers treatment.
