The Document is 80 Pages and Covers Deep Mixing Methods
The Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) has released a new publication, “Guidelines for Soil Mixing.” The publication provides an overview of the state of practice of deep mixing methods (DMM) in North America, as well as a guide specification for deep mixing work.
The 80-page document focuses on constructability and feasibility considerations for deep mixing. It addresses applications including: earth retention; liquefaction mitigation; groundwater seepage control and containment isolation; bearing capacity improvement; deep foundations; mass stabilization and contamination containment; embankment, levee and dam strengthening and stabilization; and casing replacement. The document was created to provide a basic introduction to wet and dry DMM to enhance its adoption and application in North America.
