Preloading method involves applying a load over the soil surface to remove pore water over time thus consolidating the soil, suitable for soft clays and silty soils.

Stone columns improve soil by providing drainage and reinforcing the ground, suitable for soft to medium stiff clays, silts, and some sandy soils.

Electro-Osmosis stabilizes fine-grained soils by applying a direct electric current through the soil to cause water movement, primarily used in silts and clays.

Soil Nailing provides temporary or permanent stabilization by inserting reinforcing bars into the existing ground, ideal for cohesive soils or weak rocks.

Dynamic Compaction uses a heavy tamper dropped from a height to compact the soil, mainly effective for granular soils with some fines.

Lime is added to soil to reduce plasticity and increase strength. It can be used in a variety of soil types but is particularly effective with clayey soils.

Vibro-Compaction consolidates soil by using deep vibration to rearrange particles into a denser formation, generally suitable for non-cohesive soils like sand.

Jet Grouting involves using high-pressure jets to erode and mix the soil with a binding agent, creating columns of improved material, applicable to a wide range of soils.

Grouting involves the injection of pumpable materials into a soil or rock formation to change its physical properties, commonly used in both granular and fissured rock.
