Construction of the Remediation of Masonry Buildings on Collapsible Soils
Publication: Geotechnical and Structural Engineering Congress 2016
Abstract
Two masonry buildings in the Glenwood Springs area of Colorado had undergone significant differential settlement following their construction. The foundations consisted of spread footings and slab-on-grade. Compaction grouting was chosen as the remediation technique of choice to treat the collapsible soils beneath the two structures. Compaction grouting involves the injection of low-slump, stiff, low mobility grout to displace and densify the subsurface soils. Compaction grouting was performed at depths up to 100 ft below the structures. Since treatment of the subsurface soils via compaction grouting, there has been no further signs of distress or differential settlement in the buildings.
