To evaluate on the applicability of Chemical Compaction Pile (CCP) method to weak soil improvement, two kinds of testing chambers were fabricated and the changes of water content and shear stress associated with soil types, ages and distances from the center of pile were measured with different mixing proportions of CCP such as bottom ash, lime powder and added admixture. As results of test, it was noted that water content and shear stress of ground are mainly affected by the amount of lime powder and increase of the amount corresponds to rapid improvement of soil. And the improvement depended greatly on the types of soil also. It was finally found that CCP developed can be applicable to bearing pile as well as soil improvement since CCP has a bearing capacity enough to carry loads.

In this paper, an analytical solution of large-strain cylindrical cavity expansion in compaction grouting problem under temperature field is given. Considering the stress increment caused by temperature, the analytical solution of cavity expansion under traditional isothermal conditions is improved by substituting the temperature stress increment into the cavity expansion analysis. Subsequently, combined with the first law of thermodynamics, the energy theory is also introduced into the cylindrical cavity expansion analysis, and the energy dissipation solution of cylindrical cavity expansion is derived. Finally, the validity and reliability of solution are proved by comparing the results of expansion pressure with those in published literatures. The results show that the dimensionless expansion pressure increases with the increase of temperature, and the thermal response increases with the increase of dilation angle. The higher the exothermic temperature of grouting slurry, the greater the plastic deformation energy of the surrounding soil, that is, the greater the influence on the surrounding soil deformation and the surrounding environment. The proposed solution not only enrich the theoretical system of cavity expansion, but also can be used as a theoretical tool for energy geotechnical engineering problems, such as CPT, nuclear waste disposal, energy pile and chemical grouting, etc.
