Method for constructing a reliable foundation in soft soil formations

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6644352
A method is described for constructing a tubular pile foundation in soft soil formations. The soft soil is agitated to form an agitated region like a tube with single annular section or tubes with a conjugated annular section at a time. A chemical cement is injected into and mixed with the soft soil to solidify the agitated region in situ into a tubular pile or conjugated tubular piles. By repeating the foregoing steps, the structural wall of piles is constructed to provide bearing capacity with the soft soil formations. (6 claims)
