Research Topics

Overview

GIGGs Target research topics cover grouting and ground improvement. The research will focus on the fundamentals of ground improvement and grouting design and installation as well as the grouted/improved ground geotechnics with focus on the technical aspects as well as practical implementations, such as monitoring and data management. By having such a focused area of interest, the IAP aims to provide significant contributions to the state of knowledge and practice. The topics will span interests of the different members’ backgrounds (owners, suppliers, contractors, and consultants) and will aim at improving fundamental understanding of the geotechnics governing the different field applications as well as advance the state of practice. Member companies are encouraged to share any field data that can be incorporated into the research projects. The range of applications of the research covered will span the geotechnical and environmental applications in which grouting and ground improvements has the potential to be a major solution for existing insitu challenges.

2023-2024 Projects

Polyurethane: Testing soil properties treated with 1- and 2-Part PU and developing treating soil verification and testing SOPs.

Carbon Reduction: Assess performance of Type IL and LC3 versus Type I/II, including long-term strength prediction for Deep Mixing Design.

Microfine Cements: Test performance of available Microfines/Ultrafines in the market and develop characterization, testing and design guidelines for Microfine/Ultrafine cement grouts.

Rigid Inclusions: Develop a practical approach to evaluation of these elements and how they will perform during and after a large seismic events in soft ground conditions.
