Benefits/Objectives of ground improvement techniques
Increase of strength Reduce distortion under stress (Increases
stress-strain modulus) Reduce compressibility (volume decreases
due to a reduction in air voids or water content under loads)

Continued :
Prevent detrimental physical or chemical changes due to environmental conditions (freezing / thawing, wetting / drying)
Reduce susceptibility to liquefaction Reduce natural variability of borrow
materials and foundation soils
