Soft Soil Improvement Methods
Soft soil improvement means increasing the bearing capacity of the soil itself so that it is good enough to carry the loads of the structures built on it. Several factors need to be considered when improving soil, including time efficiency, cost savings and other supporting factors.
Several methods can be used to improve soft soil structures, namely geotextile, vertical drains, corduroy and piles. The following explanation covers just one of these methods: geotextile.
Geotextile is a thin, flexible and permeable synthetic sheet. Geotextile is usually used to make soil more stable. It is also used to reinforce soft soil, carry large loads, separate protective layers and increase the strength of embankments. The advantages of this method are a relatively short installation time and lower cost than conventional soil filling.
