Soil Stabilizing with Drilled-In Piles for Building Foundations in Reconstruction Projects
摘要
The importance of stabilizing base soils is discussed as a means to extend the lifecycle of buildings and facilities as part of both construction and reconstruction projects. The point is made that, despite a wide variety of existing soil stabilization and foundation reinforcement methods and techniques, these are not always in line with the current economic efficiency and environmental safety requirements. The results of the research analysis and patent search point to the need for improving and applying pilling systems combining the key advantages of bored and anchor piles. This is suggested in combination with controlled pile base enlargement achieved through cement/sand slurry injection. The technology will help integrate the processes involved in drilling through existing foundations. Fewer work processes will contribute to technology versatility and a reduced duration of work. An exemplary drilled-in piles (further CFA pile) design is provided where the lower part consists of a drill bit, rubber membrane and centralizer. The end bearing has a sickle-shaped reinforcement cage placed inside the membrane hollow. This technology will eliminate the need for prior well drilling and help avoid borehole collapse as a result. It is argued that the integrated soil stabilization and foundation reinforcement technology benefiting from the use of CFA piles is currently the most promising one in terms of project economy and environmental efficiency. The environmental component of applying bored anchor piles consists in accomplishing the work without excessive noise and vibration, which is crucial for modern cities.
