<strong>MASS</strong> <strong>STABILISATION</strong> IN A NUTSHELL<br />
4. <strong>MASS</strong> <strong>STABILISATION</strong> PROJECT IN A NUTSHELL<br />
Every stabilisation project is unique and different soil conditions and functional requirements,<br />
but a typical mass stabilisation project consist of sections listed below.<br />
A. SITE AND REQUIREMENTS<br />
- The subsoil conditions are unsuitable for construction, need for subsoil<br />
reinforcement<br />
- Shear strenght / bearing capacity needed<br />
→ Comparision of different reinforcement methods, basic designing<br />
→ Choosing the mass stabilisation method (alone or combined with other methods)<br />
- Environmental requirements<br />
B. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION<br />
- Existing information on soil conditions and structures located in the site<br />
- Possible pollution of the site<br />
- Field surveys<br />
- Pretests<br />
C. LABORATORY WORK<br />
- Selection of binder quantity and quality by stabilisation tests<br />
- Properties of untreated and stabilised soil for the designing<br />
- Optimisation of binders<br />
D. DESIGNING<br />
- Calculation and designing of mass stabilisation<br />
- Requirements documents and for construction<br />
E. CONSTRUCTION<br />
- In-situ stabilisation tests<br />
- Execution of work<br />
- Documentation<br />
F. QUALITY CONTROL<br />
- Quality control before, during and after construction<br />
