Deep Soil Mixing For Retention of Excavations

The document discusses the use of deep soil mixing (DSM) for retaining excavations through four case studies, analyzing how each project used DSM and structural support like soldier beams and tiebacks to stabilize excavations in various soil conditions and meet performance demands while limiting settlement, lateral movement, and rotational instability through proper design and construction.
