Experimental and numerical study of Encapsulated Compaction Grouting (ECG) in a loose fill slope

拟议项目将开发一种灵活、具有成本效益和环境友好的工程解决方案（封装压实灌浆或ECG），以改善松散软土的性能。该研究的重要应用包括减轻山体滑坡，这对世界各地的社区和基础设施构成重大威胁。将进行小规模的实验室测试，全尺寸的现场测试和数值分析，以确保所提出的心电图方法是一个有效的和经济的工程解决方案。这项综合研究的结果将为工程师提供一个有用的工具，以稳定松散的填土斜坡或软土。

The proposed project will develop a flexible, cost-effective and environmentally friendly engineering solution (Encapsulated Compaction Grouting or ECG) for improving the performance of loose, soft soils. Important applications of the research include the mitigation of landslides, which pose a major threat to communities and infrastructure worldwide. Small-scale laboratory tests, full-scale field tests and numerical analyses will be carried out to ensure that the proposed ECG method is an effective and economical engineering solution. The results of this integrated study will provide a valuable tool for engineers who wish to stabilise loose fill slopes or soft grounds.
