Unlike similar titles providing general information on ground improvement,
Jet Grouting: Technology, Design and Control
is entirely devoted to the role of jet grouting – its methods and
equipment, as well as its applications. It discusses the possible
effects of jet grouting on different soils and examines common
drawbacks, failures and disadvantages, recent advances, critical
reviews, and the range of applications, illustrated with relevant case
studies.
The book addresses several topics involving this
popular worldwide practice including technology issues, the
interpretation of the mechanisms taking place during the grouting, the
quantitative prediction of their effects, the design of jet-grouted
structures, and procedures for controlling jet grouting results.
Discusses the design criteria for jet grouting projects and reviews existing design rules and codes of practice of different countries + Provides practical methods for design calculations of the most important jet-grouted structures such as foundations, earth retaining walls, water cut-offs, bottom plugs, and provisional tunnel supports + Includes the current standard control methods and most innovative techniques reported for the implementation of quality control and quality assurance procedures
Jet Grouting: Technology, Design and Control
analyzes the typical jet-grouted structures, such as foundations, earth
retaining walls, water cut-offs, bottom plugs and tunnel supports, and
serves as a practical manual for the correct use of jet grouting
technology.
