The properties of DSM treated columns are influenced by the type and proportion of the cementing agent and soil properties, the mixing technique and mixing energy have strong influence on the strength and stiffness of the DSM columns. The greater the ability to break-down the soil mass into smaller aggregates and if a more uniform mix can be achieved (either by higher mixing energy and/or better mixing tool), the resulting strength and stiffness of the DSM are likely to be greater. This is one of the reasons why the dry mix method is able to achieve high strength in Scandinavian quick clay which liquefies when disturbed.
