Abstract
Systems and methods to provide pressed aggregate-filled cavities for improving ground stiffness and uniformity are disclosed. According to an aspect, a method includes using a mechanism to press into a ground surface in a substantially downward direction to create a concavity. The method also includes substantially or completely filling the concavity with unstabilized or chemically stabilized aggregate, soil, or sand. Further, the method includes using the mechanism to press the aggregate within the concavity to achieve a desired ground stiffness.
Claims17
A system comprising:
- a plurality of mandrels configured to be moved in a downward direction;
- a support configured to carry the mandrels;
- a mechanism attached to the support and mandrels, and configured to move the mandrels in the downward direction;
- and,
- a strike plate attached externally to the support, the strike plate configured to provide a flat surface for laying the system on a side after installing the pressed aggregate-fill concavities.
