Liquefied Stabilization Soil (LSS) consists of excavated soil, water and cement, which does not need compaction during the installation of LSS because it has high liquidity. However, LSS is a brittle material, since the distance between soil particles, which are connected by cementation, is large (void ratio e = 2 to 3). A LSS including small rectangular sheets was developed in order to improve the properties of LSS. To investigate the properties of LSS, a series of mixing tests on the LSS including the sheets were conducted. In addition, a series of static vertical loading tests were conducted on a LSS model ground to investigate the bearing capacity and deformation characteristics of the LSS ground.
