<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
