Liquefiable Ground Treatment Using Cruciform Section Probe Resonant Compaction Method: A Case Study in the Xitong Expressway, Eastern China by Guangyin Du, Han Xia, Jun Cai, Huangsong Pan, Changshen Sun

“…The CSPRCM has wider applicability than traditional vibrating compaction methods, especially for sites with a high content of silt and clay particles. The strengthening mechanism of the CSPRCM is a vibration hammer that generates vibrational energy to obliterate the original soil structure and render the sand completely liquefied; the soil particles then rearrange to form a new structure.…”
