Abstract
This paper presents a field study on the axial behavior of four large-diameter drilled shafts embedded in coarse sand. The grouting and loading test procedures were reported. The bearing capacity of shafts (TS1 and TS2) and grouted drilled shafts (TS3 and TS4) were herein determined by the bi-directional static test and top-down load test, respectively. The enhancement mechanism of bearing characteristics of the grouted shafts was discussed in detail. The test results indicate that the bearing characteristics and load transfer mechanisms of the test shafts were significantly affected by the quantity of pressurized cement slurry and the mechanical properties of the soil surrounding the shafts. Furthermore, the tip resistance of shaft can be mobilized more rapidly and fully after grouting, the side and tip resistance are mobilized in a more synchronized and coordinated manner due to the pre-mobilization of the grouted cement. Additionally, the standard penetration test (SPT) prediction model was introduced to calculate and predict the SPT blow counts of soil after grouting. The results show that the post grouting has a more obvious improvement on the strength of cohesionless soil.
