Abstract

This paper examines the soil improvement effect (D_N, N^^-_2) of Dynamic Consolidation Method to sandy ground based on the past construction records. The main conclusions are summarized as follows. (1) D_N is the depth of the improvement required, taken as determined by the intersection of the two approximate curves of N-value before and after the improvement. Equations for estimating D_N are proposed. (2) Equations for estimating N^^-_2 are proposed, where N^^-_2 is the average of N-value after the improvement. (3) Proposed estimate equations are applied to two recently reported construction records, and the propriety of them is discussed.
