A Study on Soil Improvement by Using High Pressure Grouting

고압분사공법에 의한 지반개량에 관한 연구

U.J.S.(Ultra Jetting System) is a new ground improvement method registered as a Utility Model No.0205798, which has fundamentally improved the existing jetting method of J.S.P.(Jumbo Special Pattern System). In this study, the uniaxial compressive strengths of improved soil-grout structures by U.J.S. and J.S.P. which have been conducted on the construction site are compared. Also, the differences between the U.J.S. and J.S.P. are analyzed by considering the role of the auger bit, the injection distance measured from the axis of boring tubes, and angle of injection measured from the horizontal. The specimens of soil-grout structures are taken from the improved soils by using the U.J.S. and J.S.P. The uniaxial tests for the samples are conducted after the curing period of 28 days. The uniaxial compressive strengths and the coefficients of elasticity of surface and distance from the axis of boring. This study shows that the mean strength of the improved structure by J.S.P. is 1.9 times greater than by J.S.P.
