Abstract
Abstract A method of stabilizing sand foundations under building works submerged in water including pumping in sand to which a small percentage of hydraulic binder is added under the building work, utilizing a grain-size distribution of the hydraulic binder adjusted to the grain-size distribution of the sand to avoid separation of the binder from the sand, wherein the hydraulic binder, by hydration, cements the sand grains into a strong coherent conglomerate which will remain unaffected by earthquakes.
