Soil Mechanics

We've discussed a variety of ground improvement strategies in class so far. Use your knowledge of the ground improvement techniques that we've discussed in class to suggest at least two ground improvement strategies for optimizing the following engineering properties. Be specific about which technique you recommend(i.e. which type of compaction? should I include vertical drains?)

1. Increase bearing capacity

2. Reduce differential settlement

3. Mitigate potential for liquefaction
