Deep mixed column is one an effective treatment method for improving the properties of the soft coastal clay, particularly controlling the ground settlement by ameliorating the strength behavior of the soil. The deep mixed method is one of the composite types due to the soil is mixed with other materials such as cementitous, chemical, or other material.
Deep cement mixing column was normally constructed by penetrating column into the soft soil layer and stand on the stiff layer or float in the soft soil layer to share the load due to the higher stiffness than the surrounding soil. An embankment supported by deep cement mixing column, the embankment load is transferred to column due to the arching effect and finally decrease the average settlement and differential settlement.
