Abstract
This report presents an evaluation of Dynamic Consolidation (DC) as a means of mitigating liquefaction potential, particularly in relation to its application in New Zealand.
The objective of the research is to evaluate the effectiveness of Dynamic Consolidation for alleviating the potential for liquefaction to the range of New Zealand soils.
In this respect, the following issues have been addressed:
- Experience and availability of expertise in New Zealand
- General effectiveness and limitations
- Effectiveness of technique in particular soil types
- Cost comparison with alternative methods
- Constraints due to disturbance and “nuisance”
