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.

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.

본 연구는 댐 4개소의 기초지반에 실시된 암반 그라우팅에 대한 현장 시험결과를 통하여 RQD, 단위시멘트주입량, Lugeon값(Lu) 및 최대주입압력과의 상관관계를 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구현장에 대하여 댐 기초지반에서 암반 그라우팅을 실시한 후 차수성에 관한 개량효과 분석결과 변성암지역이 퇴적암지역 보다 우수한 것으로 조사되었다. 그리고 압밀(Consolidation) 그라우팅의 차수효과가 차수(Curtain) 그라우팅 보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 단위시멘트주입량은 RQD가 클수록 증가하는 경향을 보이나, Lugeon값은 RQD와 무관한 관계를 나타내고 있다. Lugeon값과 단위시멘트주입량(Vc)의 관계는 서로 비례하고 비교적 투수성이 큰 퇴적암 지역에서의 상관관계가 Lu = 0.22Vc인 직접적인 비례관계를 보였다. 기 시공된 인접공의 영향은 차수 그라우팅 보다 압밀 그라우팅이 큰 것으로 조사되었다. 그리고 주입순서에 따른 단위시멘트주입량과 Lugeon값의 변화는 거의 동일한 거동을 나타내고 있다.

본 연구에서는 그라우팅이 실시된 4~5 등급(Q 분류의 1 이하)에 해당 되는 암반 터널을 대상으로, 그라우팅 전 후의 암반 투수계수 및 그라우팅 주입량과 Q분류법의 파라미터들간의 상관관계를 분석해 보았다. 연구 대상 터널의 경우 Q 값이 작을수록 그라우팅 전 암반 투수계수는 커지며, 그라우트의 주입량은 작아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 투수계수 및 주입량에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 RQD 및 절리군수(Jn)인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 보통시멘트를 주입재로 한 암반터널 그라우팅 작업에서 투수계수를 $1.0{\times}10^{-8}$ m/sec이하로 낮추는 것은 매우 어려운 것으로 나타났다.

Recently, investigated failures of external post-tensioned (PT) tendons have called attention to the corrosion of strands in PT bridges, and the prevention of ongoing corrosion is required to secure their structural integrity. Since voids inside ducts can be a source for the ingress of water or deleterious chemicals, the vacuum grouting (VG) method and a volumeter for estimating amount of repair grouts were employed to fill voided ducts. However, the VG method is expensive and time-consuming for infield application because it requires an air-tight condition of entire ducts. Thus, latest research assessed three different repair grouting methods, and the pressure vacuum grouting (PVG) method was recommended in the field because it showed good filling capability in voided ducts and did not require an air-tight condition. Thus, a new method is required to estimate the volume of repair grouts because the PVG method is not applied in air-tight ducts. This research assesses the relationship between voided areas on ducts identified with soundings and required grout volume for repair using experimental results. The results show that the proposed equations and assumptions for estimating repair grout volume provide a sufficient amount of repair grouts for filling voided ducts.

본 연구에서는 편마암지역의 NATM 해저터널 막장 9개소에서 실시한 차수 주입홀 315공에 대한 주입재 주입량에 대하여 RMR 분류요소들과 주입재 주입량, 루전값과 RQD, 루전값과 시멘트 주입량의 상관관계를 분석하여 암반 차수 주입 효과를 연구하였다. 연구대상 해저터널에서 막장별 주입재 총주입량은 일부 막장에서 다소 변화폭은 있으나, 불연속면의 간격(R3, Js)과 지하수상태(R5)에서 분류요소의 평점이 높을수록 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 막장별 총주입량은 RMR 분류요소들보다는 탄성파탐사(3D, TSP)의 지질이상대 및 감지공의 유입량과 상관관계가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 단위주입량은 불연속면의 상태(Jc, R4)의 풍화도를 제외한 RMR 분류요소들에서 평점이 높을수록 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. RQD와 루전값은 상관관계가 크지 않으나, RQD 값이 클수록 루전값이 감소하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다.

쉴드 TBM 공법은 터널의 변형을 최소화할 수 있는 공법으로 도심지 얕은 터널 공사에 적합한 공법이다. 하지만 이러한 쉴드 TBM 공법의 장점에도 불구하고 침하가 발생하며, 토피가 낮은 지반에서 쉴드 TBM 굴진 중 침하에 대한 대책은 여전히 주요 쟁점사항 중 하나로 남아있다. 쉴드 TBM 공법에서 테일 보이드는 불가피하게 발생하는 공간으로 테일 보이드의 변형은 침하의 주요 원인이 된다. 이러한 테일 보이드의 변형은 뒤채움 그라우팅을 통해 제어되며, 이를 통해 침하를 억제하거나 회복시킬 수 있다고 여겨지고 있다. 하지만 실제 뒤채움 그라우팅을 통한 침하 회복은 기대하기 어려우며 특히 사질토에서 두드러진다. 이는 뒤채움 그라우팅과 사질토 지반 사이의 상호작용에 기인한 것으로 유추할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 수치해석을 통해 사질토 지반에서 뒤채움 그라우팅이 지반거동에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 해석결과, 뒤채움 그라우팅은 침하증가율을 감소시켜 쉴드 TBM 굴진으로 인하 침하를 감소시키나, 그라우팅 이전에 발생한 침하를 회복시키지는 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 뒤채움 그라우팅으로 인해 감소된 체적손실의 지표침하 감소 효과를 지반 내 체적변형이 상쇄하기 때문인 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, a real-time grouting management system based on the clogging theory was established to manage injection procedure in real time. This system is capable of estimating hydraulic permeability with the passage of time as the grout permeates through the ground, and therefore, capable of estimating real time injection distance and flow rate. By adopting the Controlled Injection Pressure (CoIP) model, it was feasible to predict the grout permeation status with the elapse of time by consecutively updating the hydraulic gradient and flow rate estimated from a clogging-induced alteration of pore volume. Moreover, a method to estimate the volume of the fractured gap according to the reduction in injection pressure was proposed. The validity of the proposed system was successfully established by comparing the estimated values with the measured field data.
