Abstract:
1. A method of consolidating foundation soils and/or building sites in general, including the steps of: measuring the electrical resistivity in one or more volumes of the soil to be consolidated to determine the volume(s) of soil to be consolidated; making one or more holes in the soil as far as or towards the volume(s) to be consolidated; injecting an expanding resin into the hole(s) in the soil in order to perform a consolidation treatment; geoelectric monitoring of the injections by progressive measurement of the percentage variations Δρ(%) of mean electrical resistivity of the volume(s) of soil to be consolidated between a state N of the treatment and the immediately preceding state N−1; and interrupting the injections into a particular volume of the soil to be consolidated when the differences in the percentage variations of electrical resistivity measured during the course of work in the soil, between the last state reached N and the immediately preceding state N−1, respectively, satisfy the following equation:
