Title: PRESSURE GROUTING OF TUNNELS
Accession Number: 00156043
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The use of pressure grouting as a construction tool and as a design method in tunneling operations is described. It is noted that the state of the art in the U.S. is considered to be less advanced than that in Europe, although an awareness and use of the available technology has recently increased in the U.S. As long as pressure grouting is considered "contract" work, rather than a professional engineering service, U.S. design work will follow standard specifications and may be limited to portland cement, with a few modifications, and to one or two chemical grout systems. For future research, a stress-strain design criteria for different chemical grouts under different soil conditions are necessary for adequate and economic solidification of soft ground to facilitate tunnel driving and to make rational analytical predictions of surface movements. Techniques are also needed for grout filling tailpiece annular space and materials to allow filling of that space as the cavity is formed. Grout injection systems should be incorporated into tunnel machines to provide continuous grouting as the tunnel advances.
