“…The process reduces the soil matrix voids, causing the soil to settle. The larger wall and foundation displacements in the loose sand bed agree with the findings reported in [26] and corroborated by Al-Neami et al, [27].…”

“…Buildings erected on soft soils may fail owing to their low strength, and excessive settling of the soil under an exterior load might occur, so improvements for soft soils must be made before construction to minimize or decrease the maintenance cost or failure of buildings [1]. The building of tunnels, mining operations, and hydroelectric engineering projects may often encounter collapses, instability, and the influx of clay and water [2]. These issues are typically attributed to soil with inadequate strength or permeability.…”

This study examines the effect of time on strength and degree of improvement of grouting material in heated, cracked soil.  The shear strength of the heated soil increased from 14 to 300 kPa  At 15% settlement ratio, bearing ratio rose from 32.9 to 71.7 as water-cement ratio increased from 0 to 1.25  At 15% settlement, ultimate bearing capacity ratios decreased from 14.3 to 11.4 for models with 1.25 to 1.75 water-cement ratios  At 15% settlement, bearing ratios for heating and 1.25 water-cement grouting were 71.70, 88.19 and 98 for different curing timesSoft clayey soils present geotechnical engineering challenges with significant stability and settlement. Various methods are employed to enhance the geotechnical properties of these soils. Heating and grouting are the methods used to improve such soil. A new heating and cement grouting system using gas as a source of heating through boreholes and Portland cement for grouting was designed and manufactured to enhance the soft soil. Different parameters were investigated, including the shear strength and the angle of internal friction, as well as the water/cement ratio, W/C (0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, and 1.75), and the period of curing (3, 14, and 28 days). The results showed the shear strength and angle of internal friction increased from 14 to 300 kPa and 0 to 50 degrees, respectively. If only the heating system is running, the strength and behavior of the soil will improve via heated and cement grouting with a water/cement ratio.If the w/c ratio increases from 0 to 1.25, the ultimate bearing capacity ratio (qu treated/qu untreated) increases from 6.5 to 14.3 at 15% settlement. However, when the water/cement ratio increases from 1.25 to 1.75, the ultimate bearing capacity ratio (qu treated/qu untreated) decreases from 14.3 to 11.4. The ultimate bearing capacity ratio improves with increasing curative time. It climbs from 14.3 to 19.6 during 3 to 28 days for cement grouting models, while the ultimate bearing capacity ratio grows from 6.5 to 7 during 3 to 28 days for heating process models only, at 15% settlement.
