Improving Rigidity of Clay by Using Explosives and Proofing by Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) [PDF]

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019
The construction foundation problem in complex conditions with specific types of soils (peat and organic sediment, sludge, soft clay, etc.) is relevant at the present time. Excessive moisture, low bearing capacity, high compressibility, and other negative qualities of these soils make the process of foundation more expensive and complicated. To improve
