Innovative Subsurface Compacted Rubble Rafts for Severe Liquefaction Remediation in Christchurch, New Zealand

Abstract

AbstractThis paper presents the results and evaluation outcomes of a successful pilot project that employed a novel technology: the subsurface compacted rubble raft (SCRR) ground-improvement method. The project, undertaken in the postearthquake “red zone” ...Practical ApplicationsThe remediation of earthquake-induced liquefaction damage is challenging and costly, especially on severely affected land. The subsurface compacted rubble raft (SCRR) technology provides a practical and innovative solution to this ...
