Abstract

This paper introduces a new method of improvement for marine soft ground, MLPP(Marine Large Pack Pile). The MLPP is a reinforcement technique for the conventional SCP or GCP piles by confining with geotextile pack. A pilot project at Busan New Port site and laboratory model tests were carried out to investigate the settlement reduction and bearing capacity enhancement effect of pack pile. The results of field and laboratory tests show that MLPP method can be a safe and economic alternative method for SCP and GCP.
