Jet grouting is a soil improvement method that has been widely used to address various soil problems. This study investigated the geomechanical and physical properties of soil-cement columns constructed in clayey soil under different pressure injections and jet grout rotations. The results provide insights into the diameter prediction of grout columns in clayey soil.
Jet grouting has recently become a soil improvement method used to solve most soil problems. In this study, seven full-scale soil-cement (SC) columns were constructed in clayey soil with different pressure injections (300, 325, 350, 375, 400 bar), jet grout rotations (25, 35, 45 rpm) and a w/c ratio of 1. These parameters were used to examine the geomechanical properties of the SC, such as strength characteristics (UCS and UPV), and SC-soil surface friction. The physical properties were observed by evaluating the water absorption rate, density, and porosity. The diameter variation was analysed to determine the effect of both parameters on SC diameter. The geomechanical properties of the grout columns generally varied with pressure and rotation. The average strength variation for pressure and rotation was 38% and 9%, respectively. The average water absorption percentage was 13% and 22%; the average density was 8% and 11%; the average porosity was 6% and 10%, respectively. The maximum surface friction angles were 19 degrees and 18 degrees for SC350-35 and SC400-45, respectively. This study theoretically predicts the diameter of the grout column for construction in clayey soil.
