The paper describes an experiment conducted to study the effect of injection an expandablepolyurethane resin on the stabilization, settlement reduction and increasing the bearing capacity of the foundation’s soil. The experiment was carried out in sandy soil, and different types of soil investigations were carried out to investigate the effect of the resin on the soil properties beneath a concrete foundation. Results of Plate load test PLT and dynamic cone penetration test DCPT before and after the injection of the expandable resin are demonstrated and discussed in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
