EVALUATION AND QUALITY CONTROL OF DRY-JET-MIXED CLAY SOIL-CEMENT COLUMNS BY STANDARD PENETRATION TEST

Dry jet mixing has been widely used since the 1980s for stabilization of soft soil. The quality and strength of the dry-jet-mixed columns must be evaluated to confirm the success of the stabilization. The standard penetration test (SPT) is shown to be a simple and effective method for this task. The strength characteristics along the length of the column were determined, and correlations between the SPT blow count and the unconfined compressive strength were developed.
