<strong>MASS</strong> <strong>STABILISATION</strong><br />
Example<br />
New road (length 100, width 10 m) is planned to build on a very soft clay/mud. Alternative reinforcement<br />
methods for this road are mass exchange, piling and mass stabilisation. The costs of<br />
the methods are compared here.<br />

Mass stabilisation 2005<br />
• Volume of material to be excavated<br />
= 47 m3 ≈ 50 m3<br />
• Cost of the surplus material ≈ 15€/m 3<br />
• Cost per 1 m of road = 750 €/m<br />
=> 75 000 € / 100 m<br />
B. Piling and slab<br />
• Concrete piles, diam. 250 mm,<br />
c/c = 2,0 m<br />
• Cost of one pile<br />
20 €/m x 8 m = 160 €<br />
• Cost of piles<br />
(160 x 6)€ / 2 m = 480 €/m<br />
• Slab h=250 mm, 40 €/m2<br />
• Cost of slab<br />
40 €/m2 x 10 m =400 €/m<br />
• Cost per 1 m of road =880 €/m<br />
=> 88 000 € / 100 m<br />
C. Mass stabilisation<br />
• Volume of material to be stabilised<br />
= 50 m3<br />
• Cost of the stabilisation ≈ 12 €/m3<br />
• Cost per 1 m of road= 600 €/m<br />
=> 60 000 € / 100 m
