Federal Highway Administration Design Manual: Deep Mixing for Embankment and Foundation Support

CHAPTER 2. TERMINOLOGY

Terms specific to laboratory testing, treated soil properties, design, construction, and contracting/procurement are defined in this section. These terms are currently used and accepted by the U.S. construction industry.

Various definitions of the same terms are often used in U.S. practice. Using a variety of terms can be misleading, and this practice has caused contractual difficulties and confusion. A single preferred term is provided for each item. Duplicate terms are shown in parenthesis following the preferred term to promote understanding, but use of the preferred term is recommended.
