Grouting gravel pile is a new technique of pile. It has the usual effectiveness of rigid pile composite foundation
furthermore
mechanical properties of soil around pile
which can increase bearing capacity of composite foundation and reduce its settlement. The property of soil around pile is tested in field before and after the pile is constructed
from which the grouting impact range and regularities of distribution are obtained. In allusion to clay soil around pile
the calculation formula of range impacted by grouting is obtained out by analysing balanced equation of cell cube in plastic zone. The calculation result is consistent with the grouting impact range obtained from in-situ test
so as to prove the rationality of calculation method.
