Description:

The purpose of this research is to better understand the connection between poorly built Rammed Aggregate Piers and liquefaction potential of poorly graded soils. The hypothesis states that a poorly built Rammed Aggregate Pier will increase a soils likelihood of liquefying. Much of this study is based off previous research done in Christchurch, New Zealand after the 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence. The tests conducted in this study include the Modified Effort Compaction Test and the Free-Free Resonant Column Multi-Mode Device Test. Results showed that a poorly built Rammed Aggregate Pier was denser than a well built Rammed Aggregate Pier. Thus, it was concluded that a poorly built Rammed Aggregate Pier will decrease a soils risk of liquefying.
