Funded Activity Summary

Experimental and numerical study of Encapsulated Compaction Grouting (ECG) in a loose fill slope. The proposed project will develop a flexible, cost-effective and environmentally friendly engineering solution (Encapsulated Compaction Grouting or ECG) for improving the performance of loose, soft soils. Important applications of the research include the mitigation of landslides, which pose a major threat to communities and infrastructure worldwide. Small-scale laboratory tests, full-scale field tests and numerical analyses will be carried out to ensure that the proposed ECG method is an effective and economical engineering solution. The results of this integrated study will provide a valuable tool for engineers who wish to stabilise loose fill slopes or soft grounds.
