Abstract
For decades compaction grouting and low mobility grouting (LMG) have been utilized extensively to stabilize structures, remediate variable soil types, enhance bearing capacity, cut off water, and relevel structures and roadways throughout the Rocky Mountains and beyond. The popularity and diversity of this geotechnical solution will be demonstrated through a multitude of case histories in cohesive, granular, collapsible, and voided ground conditions as well as in wet and dry environments. Though the fundamentals of the process have primarily remained the same since inception, advancements have been made in the form of innovative applications, data acquisition systems, and computer modeling to assist engineers and owners in assessing unique and challenging geotechnical sites and conditions.
