Abstract
This paper describes an alternate compaction grouting system. It also provides the theory and a mathematical model to assess and quantify the degree of soil improvement caused by compaction grouting. It further discusses a field application where this system has been successfully used.
The most common objective of compaction grouting is the densification of the soil whereby the grout does not permeate or fracture the soil matrix. This is typically accomplished by using low mobility grouts. Predictable results can also be obtained for some applications by utilizing the further described alternate method.
