The Effect of Jet Grouting on Enhancing the Lateral Behavior of Piled Raft Foundation in Soft Clay(Numerical Investigation)

Soft clay soils cannot usually support large lateral loads,so clay soils must be improved to increase lateral resistance.The jet grouting method is one of the methods used to improve weak soils.In this paper,a series of 3D finite element studies were conducted using Plaxis 3D software to investigate the lateral behavior of piled rafts in improved soft clay utilizing the jet grouting method.Parametric models were analyzed to explore the influence of the width,depth,and location of the grouted clay on the lateral resistance.Additionally,the effect of vertical loads on the lateral behavior of piled rafts in grouted clay was also investigated.The numerical results indicate that the lateral resistance increases by increasing the dimensions of the jet grouting beneath and around the piled raft.Typical increases in lateral resistance are 11.2%,65%,177%,and 35%for applying jet grouting beside the raft,below the raft,below and around the raft,and grouted strips parallel to lateral loads,respectively.It was also found that increasing the depth of grouted clay enhances lateral resistance up to a certain depth,about 6 to 10 times the pile diameter(6 to 10D).In contrast,the improvement ratio is limited beyond 10D.Furthermore,the results demonstrate that the presence of vertical loads has a significant impact on sideward resistance.

Mechanical Behaviors and Deformation Properties of Retaining Wall Formed by Grouting Mould-Bag Pile

The simplified mechanical model and finite element model are established on the basis of the measured results and analysis of the grouting pile deformation monitoring,surface horizontal displacement and vertical displacement monitoring,deep horizontal displacement(inclinometer)monitoring,soil pressure monitoring and seepage pressure monitoring in the lower reaches of Wuan River regulation project in Shishi,Fujian Province.The mechanical behavior and deformation performance of mould-bag pile retaining wall formed after controlled cement grouting in the silty stratum of the test section are analyzed and compared.The results show that the use of controlled cement grouting mould-bag pile technology is to strengthen the soft stratum for sealing water and reinforcement,so that it can rock into a retaining wall,which can both retain soil and seal water with excellent effect.The control of cement grouting technology not only makes the soft soil rock in the range of retaining wall of mould-bag pile,but also makes a wide range of soil around the mould-bag pile squeeze and embed to compaction;and its cohesion and internal friction angle increased,so as to achieve the purpose of reducing soil pressure and improving mechanical and deformation properties of retaining wall.

It is concluded that the proposed crushed stone grouting pile with a rigid bearing plate is effective in decreasing the settlement of composite foundation.

Calculation method of composite foundation sedimentation of grouting pile with cover plate under embankment load

Grouting pile is a new soft soil foundation treatment method with characteristics such as no vibration, no noise, no soil compaction, light construction machines and quick construction velocity and so on. At present, study on reinforcement mechanism and design calculation method of composite foundation of grouting pile is initially started without design specifications, so it is usually required to draw on design specifications of stump pile when designing composite foundation of grouting pile while grouting pile has its characteristics and difference although reinforcement mechanisms and construction processes of two types of piles are similar. Sedimentation formula of composite foundation of grouting pile with cover plate is educed and a suitable deformation mode is proposed by aiming to deformation characteristics of composite foundation of grouting pile with cover plate under embankment load on basis of relevant sedimentation theories of composite foundation by combination of characteristics of composite foundation of grouting pile. The sedimentation calculation formula of grouting pile with cover plate under embankment load is educed according to balance relation of force and displacement coordination conditions by elastic theory and sedimentation calculation model established is validated by sedimentation monitoring documents of one expressway in China.

The theoretical prediction agrees well with the load test results.

黏性土中桩侧后注浆单桩抗压承载性能室内模型试验研究

后注浆技术的应用能有效减少桩周土体扰动和泥皮等造成的不利影响,从而提高钻孔灌注桩的承载力。目前有关后注浆技术的研究多集中于桩端后注浆,少有涉及桩侧后注浆,影响了桩侧后注浆技术进一步推广应用。根据桩侧后注浆工艺,开展单桩抗压室内试验,以研究桩侧后注浆量对单桩抗压承载性能的影响。结果表明:在荷载水平较大的工况下,相较于桩侧后注浆量为1 L的单桩,注浆量为2、3 L时单桩极限抗压承载力分别提高18.2%和66.0%,提高幅度与注浆量呈正相关,并且可以在很大程度上减小桩顶沉降量;桩侧后注浆桩桩身轴力在侧注浆点位附近减小较快,在整个加载过程中桩端附近处桩身轴力值均比较低,单桩受压表现为摩擦桩;水泥浆液同时存在上返和下劈扩散,在室内试验条件下,两者扩散高度均约为14倍桩径,在浆液扩散段桩侧摩阻力得到显著提高,且越靠近注浆点位提高程度越明显。

埋入式后压浆管桩竖向抗拔破坏模式研究

埋入式后压浆管桩作为一种新型桩基础,集钻孔灌注桩和预应力管桩的优点于一体,可以解决灌注桩桩身质量不可靠和预应力管桩沉桩困难等问题。对埋入式后压浆管桩的竖向抗拔试验进行CT扫描,得到不同位移状态下模型桩的CT扫描图像,直观地揭示破坏面的发展规律,并建立破坏面方程。对其他学者提出的抗拔桩破坏面方程进行优化,通过静力平衡方程,获得优化后破坏面方程对应的埋入式后压浆管桩抗拔极限承载力函数,并采用遗传算法确定优化后破坏面方程的参数。将多种理论假定破坏面与试验获得的破坏面进行对比分析,验证所得破坏面方程的准确性。研究发现:埋入式后压浆管桩在上拔位移到达0.45倍桩径时发生破坏,此时灌浆层与土体紧密结合,两者之间未出现明显位移,破坏仅发生在灌浆层之外的桩周土体中;破坏面从桩底向桩顶延伸,越靠近桩顶,破坏面距离桩身越远,破坏面在桩底与混凝土侧壁相切,在地面与水平面的夹角接近42°,呈喇叭形破坏;本文的理论假定破坏面与试验获得的破坏面的相关指数R^(2)=0.97,前人的理论假定破坏面与试验获得的破坏面的相关指数R^(2)=0.91,本文的破坏面方程更加贴近试验获得的破坏面。研究成果对埋入式后压浆管桩的设计计算具有重要的参考价值。
