Soil Mixing, also known as the Deep Mixing Method, involves the mechanical blending of in situ soil with cementitious materials using a hollow stem auger and paddles. Soil mixing has recently become a more popular ground improvement technique on civil engineering projects involving foundations, excavations, tunneling, and liquefaction concerns. The presentation will focus on soil mixing techniques (both wet and dry methods), the design methodology, construction and QA/QC. In addition, there will be a discussion on some of Hayward Baker's current projects including: the Brunswick Nuclear Power Plant in Southport, North Carolina and the Herbert Hoover Dike in Lake Okeechobee, Florida.
