Field Test Research on Film Bag Grouting in Strongly Weathered Stratum Overlying Subway

Abstract

Abstract A strongly weathered stratum needs to be reinforced by grouting before tunnel excavation due to its poor self-stability. This work studied the law of surface uplift caused by grouting in a strongly weathered stratum overlying a subway. A strongly weathered stratum overlying a subway section was taken as the research object, and the field test method was used to reveal the time and space variation characteristics of the surface uplift with grouting reinforcement. Then, the influence of the grouting reinforcement technology, quantity, and material on the maximum surface uplift value in the practical grouting process was analyzed. The results show the following. Regardless of whether film bag grouting is used or not, the uplift value of the monitoring points is directly proportional to time, and the growth rate of the uplift value tends to accelerate. The spatial distribution of the surface uplift is mainly related to its distance to the grouting point. In addition, the maximum uplift value of the film bag grouting technology is 32.1% lower than that of the ordinary grouting technology; given the same grouting materials and technology, the grouting amount increases by 50%, and the surface uplift value increases by 121%. Moreover, the C-S slurry exhibits rapid setting, a small diffusion range, and a large thickness of the grouting vein; the surface uplift value of the C-S slurry is 3.08 times that of the cement slurry. The field test research conclusion is applied to practical engineering, where the final uplift value is 1.8 to 2.5 cm, and the average permeability coefficient of the inspection hole is 3.52×10−7 cm/s, which reflects a good engineering governance effect.
