  The sandy soil of coastal areas of rivers and oceans due to permeable nature and high water table always provide weak foundations for construction purposes. Due to shear failure and excessive settlements, the sandy soil reduces the safe bearing capacity for high rise building and dam construction purposes. Because of these poor soil properties, several methods are reported to enhance the capability of the soil and apply different grouting materials for its improvement. In this study, several tests were applied to investigate the physicochemical properties of sandy soil and to improve their properties such as shear strength, reduction in settlements and increase the bearing capacity. The properties of sandy soil was measured such as size and moisture content by Sieve analysis, in-situ density by sand cone replacement method, specific gravity by using pycnometer. In similar fashion, cem.. Read More»
