Scope noteHere are entered works on the technique of injecting columns of a cementitious substance into the ground at intervals to strengthen soil to bear the load of a structure.

Wikipedia, viewed March 7, 2019 (Pressure grouting, or jet grouting, often rerferred to simply as grouting; injecting a grout material into otherwise inaccessible but interconnected pore or void space; greatest use, improve geomaterials (soil and rock); also used to correct faults in concrete and masonry structures)
Berkel web site, viewed March 7, 2019 (Compaction grouting; a ground improvement/reinforcing technique where a specific volume of grout is placed at discrete intervals in the ground to provide a known displacement of granular soil or reinforce soft, fine-graned soil; commonly used to stabilize sinkholes and other voids/cavities in the subsurface)

A.H. Beck web site, viewed April 18, 2019 (Compaction and Jet Grouting: Grouting is a ground improvement technique utilizing a relatively stiff (low mobility) grout injected at high pressure into a relatively loose granular stratum for densification; typically used to increase bearing pressure and reduce settlement of proposed structures; can be used to re-level structures that have settled, and to densify beneath structures proposed for increased loading. Compaction grouting: bulbs of highly viscous grout are injected in the ground from the base up at a slow injection rate. Jet grouting is a similar bottom up grouting technique, but utilizing very high pressure (4,000 to 6,000 psi) grout injected through small nozzles at very high velocity)
