Jet grouting method, ground improvement body, and ground improvement structure

摘要

A jet grouting method is capable of reducing an unnecessary portion (redundant portion) exceeding an effective wall thickness without narrowing a construction pitch, and capable of allowing easy mechanical control. A ground improvement structure including a plurality of ground improvement bodies is constructed through use of the jet grouting method. Each of the ground improvement bodies is constructed so as to have a sectional shape formed by a combination of different kinds of fan shapes having different radiuses. The sectional shape of the ground improvement body is a combination of at least two kinds of fan shapes. One of the kinds of the fan shapes corresponds to a fan shape with a smaller radius, and the other corresponds to a fan shape with a larger radius. The sectional shape of the improvement body has a minimum diameter portion formed of the fan shapes with the smallest radius and a maximum diameter portion formed of the fan shapes with the largest radius. When designing the ground improvement body, a central angle is determined from a fan shape having the smallest radius with respect to the effective wall thickness. When constructing the ground improvement body, a diameter thereof is controlled by stepwisely changing a rotation speed of the injection rod. At that time, a soil breaking achieved by an improving material injected at high pressure is monitored so as to check the diameter of the ground improvement body and the effective thickness thereof.
