EN 14679:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies general principles for the execution, testing, supervision and monitoring of deep mixing works carried out by two different methods: dry mixing and wet mixing. Deep mixing considered in this document is limited to methods, which involve: a) mixing by rotating mechanical mixing tools (see Annex A, Figure A.1) where the lateral support provided to the surrounding soil is not removed; b) treatment of the soil to a minimum depth of 3 m; c) different shapes and configurations, consisting of either single columns, panels, grids, blocks, walls or any combination of more than one single column, overlapping or not (see Annex A, Figures A.8 to A.12); d) treatment of natural soil, fill, waste deposits and slurries, etc.; e) other ground improvement methods using similar techniques exist (see A.3.5). Guidance on practical aspects of deep mixing, such as execution procedures and equipment, is given in Annex A. Main applications are exemplified in Annex A, Figure A.14. Methods of testing, specification and assessment of design parameters, which are affected by execution, are presented in Annex B. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

It is important to estimate and verify the field strength in several stages by laboratory mixing tests, accumulated experience, field trials and verification tests. The design should be modified if the requirements cannot be fulfilled. 7.1.2 The execution of deep mixing projects involves geotechnical design in several phases and can be an iterative process. The objective of the design is to produce technical documents, which enable works to be constructed with regard to safety, serviceability, economy and durability, taking into account the expected service life. It is recommended that the parties responsible for the design should be involved also during the construction. 7.1.3 The geotechnical design of deep mixing projects shall be based on ENV 1991, EN 1997-1 and prEN 1997-2. The informative Annex B summarises important parameters, which affect overall stability and settlement of the treated ground. 7.1.4 Reference to relevant experience is permitted if appropriate verification has been undertaken (e.g. by penetration tests, pressuremeter tests or other tests). 7.1.5 A method statement shall be prepared, which details the deep mixing works. As a minimum requirement, the method statement shall detail the location and the purpose of the works, the required design life, possible restrictions during the construction phase and any hazards associated with the execution of the works. 7.1.6 When there is some latitude in the selection of materials, the method statement shall emphasise the particular requirements, which can influence the final selection.



EN 14679:2005 (E) 12 7.1.7 Preliminary design can be based on tests of laboratory mixed samples and comparable experience, taking into account the difference in characteristics between laboratory mixed samples and treated soil in-situ. NOTE For guidance, reference is made to Annex B. 7.1.8 Testing may not be sufficient to verify the adequacy of the treatment. Appropriate supervision, monitoring and rec
