Soil mix: influence of soil inclusions on structural behaviour.

Retour vers articles scientifiques

This paper first describes the soil mix procedures applied in Belgium. Then, it concentrates on the influence of soil inclusions (un-mixed materials) on the soil mix structural behaviour. Methodologies describing and quantifying inclusions are presented and applied on in situ executed soil mix materials from 18 sites in Belgium. Finally, first results of numerical simulations investigating the influence of soil inclusions on the stiffness of soil mix material are discussed.
