Abstract

Soil cement mixing (SCM) using a high-pressure grouting method (Jet grouting), considered an improvement solution for soft soil has been popular in countries, especially in Japan and other countries in Northern Europe. However, the implementation of Jet grouting is still quite modest in the Mekong Delta. In this study, the depth effect on the compressive strength of soil-cement mixing is conducted at the Can Tho River embankment project. The results show that the uniformity of SCM depends on the cement content. The higher cement content gives a better distribution of compressive strength from the bottom to the top of SCM. In this study, the cement content of 400 kg/m3, considered the suitable content for the Jet-grouting method in Can Tho, is much higher than in (TCVN 9906:2014).

Keywords: Compressive strength, consistency, soft soil, soil-cement mixing
