The process of improving thick soft and loose soils using deep soil-
cement footings in combination with sand or cemented sand
impact compaction footings is to address the weaknesses of DSM footings and also to increase the load-
bearing capacity of the ends of single compaction footings in soft and loose soils. This
system improves the mechanical behavior of the
subgrade by longitudinally integrating the two types of footings. Depending on the type and thickness of the loose
layers and the degree of soil consistency, four types of composite systems can be used to improve the ground, increase the
bearing capacity, reduce the settlement of shallow foundations, and improve the stability of the
bed in difficult coastal conditions:\n1. Sand
impact compaction foundation + soil-
cement foundation\n2. Cemented sand
impact compaction foundation + soil-
cement foundation\n3. Thick sand impact compaction foundation + soil-cement foundation\n4. Thick cemented sand impact compaction foundation + soil-cement foundation.\nThe choice of the type of
system depends on the characteristics of the structure, the number of stories, and the amount of loads on the
bed. It is also possible to increase the strength of the base by combining different base
layers, either in the normal or cemented state.
