Abstract

Improvement of the properties and mechanical behavior of soils can be carried out in-situ by carrying out an appropriate injection program. Injection is defined as the process of injecting, under pressure, a fluid material to the required depth from the ground surface. The injection material, which is either a suspension of solid granules in water or a solution of chemicals, displaces soil pore water and sets or solidifies in a short time. Injections are generally aimed either at increasing the shear strength, density and stiffness of the soil or at reducing compressibility and permeability. In this work, the effect of the water-to-cement ratio on the permeability of cement suspensions is highlighted in order to improve and strengthen soil formations.
