Abstract:The soils which serve as foundations for construction projects may be roughly classified as
inorganic or organic. Inorganic soils vary in firmness and suitability for construction. Soft
or loose inorganic soils may be stabilized using cement or similar binders. This method,
called soil mixing, yields effective and predictable results, allowing the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) to publish a comprehensive design manual for soil mixing in inorganic
soils. However, organic soils, often highly
compressible and often found with high
water tables, have not been addressed to
the same extent.
