Executive Summary | Construction projects have often encountered very soft soil deposits, which can pose headache problems of stability and/or excessive settlement. To solve these problems, many varieties of ground improvement techniques have been developed and put into practice so far. Sand Compaction Pile Method (SCP) was developed and put into practice in Japan in the 1960s. Numerous research efforts have been paid to investigate the properties of sand piles, behavior of SCP improved ground under static and dynamic conditions, design method, and execution techniques. |
