Abstract

Grouting, which is applied for the increase of ground strength and the decrease of permeability, is complex process because of several reasons, so the process needs to be elaborated. Injection process in consideration of ground condition and optimization of grouting sequence is essential. In this study, GIN (Grouting Intensity Number), multiple of injected grout volume and pressure, is revised to consider injection pressure reduction and joint opening during grouting process. A revised GIN process is evaluated through a field test. A revised GIN, considering ground condition, injection pressure, follows GIN envelope and produces rational grouting process. The result of a revised GIN reduces permeability of the ground in the order of 10-1~10-2 cm/sec.
