Scope

Changes in this version include:

  • Updates and Additions to
    • Section 3: Ground improvement principles to outline the effects of ground improvement on neighbouring sites
    • Section 5: Ground improvement design information added on the torsional response of structures on partially improved ground and groundwater flows associated with liquefaction
    • Section 7: Densification methods - outlining the effect of hard surface layer of effectiveness of dynamic compaction
    • Section 8 : Solidification methods - a flowchart for design and construction of Deep Mixing projects has been incorporated
    • Section 11: Ground improvement for residential construction - The Earthquake Commission’s ground improvement trial findings have been incorporated.
  • Minor content revisions, clarifications and updates, including consideration and incorporation of relevant existing feedback
  • References updated to include more detailed design manuals & guidelines.

Appendix includes six worked examples.
