Abstract

Masalah tapak bina semasa dan setelah siap pembinaan sesuatu projek adalah banyak. Kehadiran air tanah, darjah pengkemasan dan perlekatan antara zarah serta kepenuhan liang mempunyai pengaruh yang besar dalam sifat dan kelakunan tanah. Terdapat beberapa cara memperelokkan tanah dan usaha telah dibuat, menerusi kertas kerja ini, untuk menerangkan penggunaan kawalan air tanah, pengkemasan cara mekanikal dan penggunaan bahan kimia dalam pengelokan tanah. Namun demikian pemilihan sesuatu cara tertentu bergantung kepada jenis tanah yang terdapat di kawasan pembinaan itu. The foundation problems faced during and after finishing the construction of a project are numerous. The presence of groundwater, the degree of densification and particulate cementation and void filling have immense contribution in the soil characteristics and performance. Several techniques of soil improvement are available and attempts have been made, in this paper, to explain the utilisation of groundwater control, mechanical means of densification and the usage of chemicals in the treatment of soils. The choice of a particular method is dependent on the type of soil available at site.
