The permeation grouting is a commonly used technique to improve the engineering geology condition of the soft ground. It is of great significance to predict the permeation range of the grout so as to ensure the effects of grouting. This paper conducts a theoretical analysis of jet-grouting effects in ground improvement and rotary grouting pile installation by utilizing deformation-permeation coupled poroelastic solutions based on Biot's theory and Laplace-Fourier integral transform technique. The exponential function and the intermittent trigonometric function are chosen to represent time-dependent grouting pressure usually encountered in ground improvement and rotary grouting pile installation process, respectively. The results, including the radial displacement, the hoop stress, the excess pore fluid pressure, the radial discharge, and the permeation radius of grout, are presented for different grouting time, radial positions and grouting lengths. Parametric study is conducted to explore the effects of variation of the exponent in the exponential grouting pressure-time relationship on grouting-induced responses. It is expected that the proposed solutions can be used to estimate the permeation range of grouting in ground improvement and rotary grouting pile installation.

Most laboratory test research has focused on grouting efficiency in homogeneous reconstituted soft clay. However, the natural sedimentary soils generally behave differently from reconstituted soils due to the effect of soil structure. A series of laboratory grouting tests were conducted to research the effect of soil structure on the performance of compensation grouting. The effects of grouting volume, overlying load and grouting location on the performance of compensation grouting under different soil structures were also studied. Reconstituted soil was altered with added cement to simulate artificial structured soil. The results showed that the final grouting efficiency was positive and significantly increased with the increase of stress ratio within a certain range when grouting in normally consolidated structured clay. However, in the same low yield stress situation, the artificial structured soil had a lower final grouting efficiency than the overconsolidated reconstituted soil. The larger of normalized grouting volume could increase the final grouting efficiency for both reconstituted and artificial structured soils. Whereas, the effect of the overlying load on final grouting efficiencies was unfavourable, and was independent of the stress ratio. As for the layered soil specimens, grouting in the artificial structured soil layer was the most efficient. In addition, the peak grouting pressure was affected by the stress ratio and the overlying load, and it could be predicted with an empirical equation when the overlying load was less than the yield stress. The end time of primary consolidation and the proportion of secondary consolidation settlement varied with the different soil structures, grouting volumes, overlying loads and grouting locations.

This study focuses on a prediction approach of compaction compensation grouting efficiency in sandy soil. Based on Darcy's law, assuming that the grouting volume is equal to the volume of the compressed soil, a two-dimensional calculation model of the compaction compensation grouting efficiency was improved to three-dimensional, which established a dynamic relationship between the radius of the grout body and the grouting time. The effectiveness of this approach was verified by finite element analysis. The calculation results show that the grouting efficiency decreases with time and tends to be stable. Meanwhile, it also indicates that the decrease of grouting efficiency mainly occurs in the process of grouting and will continue to decline in a short time after the completion of grouting. The prediction three-dimensional model proposed in this paper effectively complements the dynamic relationship between grouting compaction radius and grouting time, which can more accurately evaluate the grouting efficiency. It is practically significant to ensure construction safety, control grouting process, and reduce the settlement induced by tunnel excavation.

The groundwater during tunnel excavation not only affects the stability of the tunnel and constructability but also causes the subsidence of the upper ground due to the lowering of groundwater. Generally, the cutoff grouting is applied as a countermeasure to reduce the groundwater inflow during tunnel excavation, and the cutoff grouting is often applied in the range of plastic zone around the tunnel. However, grouting in the plastic zone is only appropriate for ground reinforcement purposes, and guidelines for the application range of cutoff grouting and the targeted permeability coefficient of the grouting zone are required. In this study, the relationship between groundwater inflow into tunnel and application range of cutoff grouting and permeability coefficient is proposed and compared with numerical analysis results. It was found that grouting with tunnel radius thickness is appropriate to reduce the groundwater inflows effectively. More than 90% reduction in groundwater inflow can be achieved when the annular area of the tunnel radius thickness is grouted with a permeability reduction ratio of 1/50~1/200.

This study focuses on an improved prediction model to determine the limiting grouting pressure of compaction grouting considering the ground surface upheaval, which is caused by the three-dimensional conical shearing failure. The 2D-dimensional failure curve in Zou and Xia (2016) was improved to a three-dimensional conical shearing failure for compaction grouting through coordinate rotation. The process of compaction grouting was considered as the cavity expansion in infinite Mohr-Coulomb (M-C) soil mass. The prediction model of limiting grouting pressure of compaction grouting was proposed with limit equilibrium principle, which was validated by comparing the results in El-Kelesh et al. (2001) and numerical method. Furthermore, using the proposed prediction model, the vertical and horizontal grouting tube techniques were adopted to deal with the subgrade settlement in Shao-huai highway at Hunan Provence of China. The engineering applicability and effectiveness of the proposed model were verified by the field test. The research on the prediction model for the limiting grouting pressure of compaction grouting provides practical example to the rapid treatment technology of subgrade settlement.

터널의 차수그라우팅 효과를 확인하기 위하여 영천댐 도수터널 건설공사 중에 현장 그라우팅 시험을 수행하였다. 시험은 그라우팅 시기에 따라 굴착전, 굴착후 및 콘크리트 라이닝일 설치된 이후의 압밀 그라우팅 등으로 구분하였고, 주입재료, 암종 및 지질인자, 그라우팅공의 천공방향 및 주입단계에 따른 효과를 비교하도록 계획하였다. 재료의 특성에 따른 차수효과는 포틀랜드시멘트, 마이크로시멘트, 마이크로시멘트 마이크로시멘트+규산에 비해 우레탄이 가장 뛰어났으며, 시공시기에 따라서는 라이닝후 및 굴착후에 비해 굴착전 그라우팅시 차수효과가 뛰어났다. 암종에 따라서는 화산암 및 화강암지반에 비해 퇴적암지반에서 차수효과가 낮게 나타났는데 이는 퇴적암에 발달하는 절리틈새가 적고 절리 충전물이 많아서 주입재의 침투성 저조에 기인한 것으로 사료된다. RMR값과는 직접적인 상관성이 없으나 RMR 요소 중 절리틈의 간극이 클수록 차수효과가 높게 나타났다. 천공방향은 차수효과에 영향을 미치지 않았으나 주입방법은 천공 및 주입의 단계를 세분할 수록 높은 차수 효과를 기대할 수 있다.

국내에서 그라우팅은 대부분 전문성 있는 지식이나 이론적인 연구에 의한 방법이 아닌 경험적인 방법에 의해 설계되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 그라우팅이 적용되는 건설현장에서 자동화 그라우팅 기법의 품질관리기술과 방법에 대한 것을 논의하고자 한다. 연구결과, 제한적인 물주입시험에 의한 최적주입압 결정과 관련된 방법은 그라우팅 전.후에 대한 평가만이 가능한 것으로 나타났으며, 그라우팅재료가 지반내에서 확산하는 동안 주입압력(p)~주입속도(q)~침투시간(t) 차트 분석을 통해 주입압, 주입속도, 침투시간의 특성을 평가할 경우 그라우트 압력에 의한 지반의 파쇄를 방지할 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 주입압력(p), 주입속도(q)와 침투시간(t) 곡선을 분석하여 적합한 값을 도출하면 효과적인 설계를 수행할 수 있다. 본 차트분석기법은 기존의 종이롤에 기록되어 지는 주입압력(p)과 주입속도(q)를 정리하여 관리할 수 있으며, 통합유량계는 정확한 수량을 기록할 수 있으나 기록된 주입압력은 초기, 중급 및 최종 지점에 따라 다르게 나타나므로, 통합유량계 및 그라우팅 대상 지반의 특성의 상관관계가 규명되는 것이 바람직한 것으로 사료된다, 본 연구에서 제안된 자동화 그라우팅 기법은 주입압력과 그라우팅 대상 지반의 특성간의 신뢰성 있는 상관관계를 설명할 수 있으며, 이를 활용한 그라우팅 품질관리 기술을 발전시킬 것으로 기대된다.

사면보강 및 기초공법으로 앵커공법, 소일네일공법 및 소구경 말뚝공법 등이 널리 사용되고 있다. 이들 공법은 공통적으로 보강재를 설치한 후 그라우팅을 실시한다. 국내의 경우 중력식과 가압식 그라우팅 방식을 주로 사용하고 있다. 반면, 재주입 그라우팅 방식은 시공장비와 적용 실적의 부족 및 보강효과 검증이 어려워 널리 적용되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 재주입 그라우팅은 포스트 그라우팅 방식의 일종으로 그라우트체 주면의 응력을 증대시키고 정착장에 불규칙한 표면을 조성함으로써 그라우트와 지반의 저항을 크게 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 그라우팅 주입 방식에 따른 보강효과를 비교하고, 재주입 그라우팅 방식으로 시공된 보강재의 인발특성을 평가하기 위하여 현장실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 재주입 그라우팅에 따른 인발력 증대를 확인할 수 있었다.

Aiming at the grouting treatment of water inflow in karst conduits, a visualized experiment system for conduit-type grouting blocking was developed. Through the improved water supply system and grouting system, and the optimized multisource information monitoring system, the real-time observation of diffusion and deposition of slurry, and the data acquisition of pressure and velocity during the whole process of grouting were realized, which breaks through the problem that the monitoring element is easy to fail due to slurry adhesion in conventional test system. Based on the grouting experiments in static and flowing water, the diffusion and deposition behavior of the quick-setting slurry under different working conditions were analyzed. The temporal and spatial variation behavior of the pressure and velocity were studied, and the blocking mechanism of the grouting were further revealed. The results showed that: (1) Under the flowing water condition, the counter-flow diffusion distance of slurry was negatively correlated with the flow water velocity and the volume ratio of cement and sodium silicate (C-S ratio), and positively correlated with the grouting volume. The slurry deposition thickness was negatively correlated with the flowing water velocity, and positively correlated with the grouting volume and C-S ratio. (2) The pressure increased slowly before blocking of the flowing water and rapidly after blocking in karst conduits. (3) With the continuous progress of grouting, the flowing water velocity decreased slowly first, then significantly, and finally tended to be stable. According to the research results, some engineering recommendations were put forward for the grouting treatment of the conduit-type water inflow disaster, which has been successfully applied in the treatment project of the China Resources Cement (Pingnan) Limestone Mine. This study provided some guidance and reference for the parameter optimization of grouting for the treatment projects of water inflow in karst conduits.
