Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a ground improving method that can prevent soil clumps with large representative dimensions from remaining. To this end, in the ground improving method of the present invention, injecting apparatuses (1, 10) inject cutting fluid (e.g., high-pressure water or high-pressure air, sometimes including a solidification material) to perform cutting, supply the solidification material, and mix and stir the cut ground (G), fluid, and solidification material to produce an underground consolidated body. The injecting apparatuses (1, 10) include a plurality of nozzles (N1, N2) positioned in the vertical direction with spaces therebetween. When injecting the cutting fluid, the injecting apparatuses inject the cutting fluid obliquely downward (J1) from an upper nozzle (N1), and inject the cutting fluid obliquely upward (J2) from a lower nozzle (N2).

One example of a method for improving ground in prior art (e.g. Patent Document 1) will be described hereinafter with reference to Fig. 8.
In Fig. 8, a rod-shaped jet device 11 is inserted into a drilling hole HD drilled in a ground G to be improved. The jet device 11 is provided with inject nozzles N for injecting a cutting fluid jet J to a side face in order to inject a jet flow of a cutting fluid (J: a cutting fluid jet) such as high-pressure water to an underground G. A plurality of inject nozzles N are provided at a point symmetrical with respect to a central axis CL of the jet device 11 (e.g. two inject nozzles shown in Fig. 8), and positions in a vertical direction of a plurality of the inject nozzles N (positions in upward and downward directions in Figs. 8 and 11) are the same.
The jet device 11 is provided with a flow passage for a cutting fluid (a pipe for a cutting fluid: not shown) inside thereof. A cutting fluid is fed from a feed device provided above the ground (not shown) to the flow passage for a cutting fluid in the jet device 11.

[0003]
In Fig. 8, the jet device 11 is slowly pulled up above the ground (in an upward direction in Fig. 8) by injecting the cutting fluid jet J underground and rotating the jet device 11 in e.g. an arrowed direction R. Accordingly, the ground G is cut by the cutting fluid jet J, and an in-situ soil and the cutting fluid are mixed to forma diameter-expanded cutting hole HC having an inner wall surface W.
Meanwhile, a solidification material (e.g. cement) is delivered from a discharge port (not shown) provided around a lower end portion of the jet device 11 via a solidification material flow passage (not shown) in the jet device 11.
Accordingly, the solidification material is mixed with a cut in-situ soil to form an underground consolidated body (not shown) by delivering the solidification material to said diameter-expanded cutting hole HC. Herein, cases where the solidification material is injected in an outward radial direction like the cutting fluid jet J or together therewith are considered as an example.
When the cutting fluid jet J cuts the ground G, slime is generated as a mixture of the cut in-situ soil and the cutting fluid. The slime, as shown in an arrowed direction AD, is discharged above the ground through a space S (a circular space) between the jet device 11 and an inner wall surface of the drilling hole HD.

As shown in Fig. 9, all the flow lines of the cutting fluid jet J are expressed as a plurality of lines L extending parallel to each other at a predetermined interval of P/2 (P is a pitch defined as the amount of pulling up the jet device 11 while it is rotated one time).

In Fig. 9, an in-situ soil (ground, bedrock, rock, etc.) found in a plurality of cutting fluid jets J extending parallel to each other at a predetermined interval (1/2 of pitch P) is cut by the jet J, the cut in-situ soil is mixed with a cut fluid and discharged above the ground as slime.

[0005]
However, since the jet J is not injected to a region between a plurality of the cutting fluid jets J (at an interval of P/2), as shown in Fig. 10, a clod M whose representative size is large (the biggest size out of a size in a longitudinal direction, a size in a lateral direction and a size in an elevational direction) is not cut and remains in a region between a plurality of jets J ejected parallel to each other.
If the large clod M is not cut and remains in the ground, as shown in Fig. 11, it is difficult for the large clod M to pass a gap S (a circular space) between an inner wall surface of a drilling hole HD and the jet device 11. Accordingly, blocking of the gap S (the circular space) will prevent slime from being discharged above the ground.
Therefore, in the above described method for improving ground, a technology for preventing cutting of a clod M whose representative size is large to remain in the ground is being desired. Unfortunately, such a technology (a technology for preventing cutting of a clod M whose representative size is large to remain in the ground) has not been proposed yet.

[0008]
The method for improving ground of the present invention comprises the steps of: cutting a ground by injecting a cutting fluid (e.g. high-pressure water or high-pressure air: including a case where a solidification material is injected) from jet devices (1, 10) ; feeding a solidification material; mixing a cut ground (0), the cutting fluid and the solidification material; and agitating a mixture thereof to form an underground consolidated body, wherein a plurality of nozzles (Ni, N2) are located at an interval in a vertical direction in the jet devices (1, 10) , and when the cutting fluid is injected, a cutting fluid (a cutting fluid jet J1) is injected from an upward nozzle (Ni) in a downward skewed direction, and a cutting fluid (a cutting fluid jet J2) is injected from a downward nozzle (N2) in an upward skewed direction.

[0009]

In addition, the method for improving ground of the present invention preferably comprises a step of adjusting the interval V between the nozzles (Ni, N2) in a vertical direction.

In addition, the method for improving ground of the present invention preferably comprises a step of adjusting the interval V between the nozzles (Ni, N2) in a vertical direction.
[0010]
In the present invention, it is preferable that a partition forming material (jets J1, J2) is injected from an upward direction of the jet device (10) as a cutting fluid, and a solidification material (jets J3, J4) is injected from a downward direction of the jet device (10) .
EFFECT OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, it is preferable that a partition forming material (jets J1, J2) is injected from an upward direction of the jet device (10) as a cutting fluid, and a solidification material (jets J3, J4) is injected from a downward direction of the jet device (10) .
EFFECT OF THE INVENTION
[0011]
The method for improving ground of the present invention comprising the above steps can provide a construction in which a plurality of nozzles (N1, N2) are located at an interval in a vertical direction, a cutting fluid (jet J1) is injected from the upward nozzle (N1) in a downward skewed direction and a cutting fluid (jet J2) is injected from the downward nozzle (N2) in an upward skewed direction. Accordingly, the method for improving ground can provide a shape for flow lines of cutting fluids (jets Jl, J2) injected for a certain period of time on a plane at an optional position (Figs. 2 and 9: a plane containing a central axis CL of a jet device 1 and extending in a radial direction and a vertical direction: found in all directions at 3600 degrees with respect to the central axis CL of the jet device 1) so that a plurality of straight lines (J1, J2) parallel to each other extending in a skewed direction intersect each other.
Therefore, even if a region (a clod G) which cannot be cut by a cutting fluid jet (J) is found instantaneously, the clod (G) is thereafter cut by another cutting fluid jet (a jet Jl or J2). In other words, even if a large clod (G) remains in the ground after it cannot be cut by a cutting fluid jet (a jet J1 or J2) instantaneously, the clod (G) is assuredly cut by any flow line of a cutting fluid jet (a jet J1 or J2).
The method for improving ground of the present invention comprising the above steps can provide a construction in which a plurality of nozzles (N1, N2) are located at an interval in a vertical direction, a cutting fluid (jet J1) is injected from the upward nozzle (N1) in a downward skewed direction and a cutting fluid (jet J2) is injected from the downward nozzle (N2) in an upward skewed direction. Accordingly, the method for improving ground can provide a shape for flow lines of cutting fluids (jets Jl, J2) injected for a certain period of time on a plane at an optional position (Figs. 2 and 9: a plane containing a central axis CL of a jet device 1 and extending in a radial direction and a vertical direction: found in all directions at 3600 degrees with respect to the central axis CL of the jet device 1) so that a plurality of straight lines (J1, J2) parallel to each other extending in a skewed direction intersect each other.
Therefore, even if a region (a clod G) which cannot be cut by a cutting fluid jet (J) is found instantaneously, the clod (G) is thereafter cut by another cutting fluid jet (a jet Jl or J2). In other words, even if a large clod (G) remains in the ground after it cannot be cut by a cutting fluid jet (a jet J1 or J2) instantaneously, the clod (G) is assuredly cut by any flow line of a cutting fluid jet (a jet J1 or J2).
[0012]
Thus, according to the present invention, an extensive presence of a region (a clod G) which is not cut by jet flows (jets J) of a cutting fluid is prevented. Also, the method for improving ground of the present invention prevents a clod (G) whose representative size is large from extending parallel to flow lines of the jet flow (the jets J) of the cutting fluid and remaining in the ground, and it is possible to prevent a region (a clod M) which is not cut by a cutting fluid jet (J) from becoming too large (i.e. prevent the representative size from becoming too large).
Accordingly, the maximum size of the clod (M) which is not cut to remain in the ground becomes smaller and readily passes a gap S (a circular space) between a jet device (1) and an inner wall surface of a drilling hole (HD). Specifically, this means that the maximum size of the clod (M) which is not cut to remain in the ground does not prevent slime from being discharged above the ground.

[0013]
In a case that the method for improving ground of the present invention is constructed so as to make the angle of nozzles (Ni, N2) (9: the inject angle of jets Jl and J2) is adjustable, it is possible to cut a construction ground (G) by using an efficient cutting diameter (D) according to the type of soil on the construction ground (G).
In the present invention, in a case it is constructed that the interval (V) in a vertical direction between the nozzles (Ni, N2) is adjustable, it is possible to adjust a pitch (P) between flow lines of a jet flow (J) of a cutting fluid, and it is thus possible to adjust the maximum size of the clod (M) which is not cut by the jet flow (J) of the cutting fluid to remain in the ground according to the state of a construction site.

In the present invention, a partition forming material (jets J1, J2) is injected from an upward nozzle of a jet device (10) as a cutting fluid, and a solidification material (jets J3, J4) is injected from a downward nozzle of the jet device (10). Accordingly, a layer of the partition forming material (a separation layer LD) obtained by mixing the partition forming material and a cut in-situ soil is formed upward, and a layer of the solidification material (LC) obtained by mixing the partition forming material, the cut in-situ soil and the solidification material is formed downward.
Thus, only a mixture of the partition forming material and the soil in the separation layer (LD) composed of the partition forming material is discharged above the ground as slime (a mixture of the partition forming material and the cut soil), and a rich-mixed solidification material in the layer of the solidification material (LC) is hardly discharged above the ground. Since the solidification material is not discharged above the ground, waste of a solidification material is reduced and the amount of slime to be treated as an industrial waste in a dedicated plant is reduced.
Also, since the solidification material (jets J3 and J4) is injected from the downward nozzle of the jet device (10), a mixture of the in-situ soil (clay) and the partition forming material is favorably mixed with the solidification material, even if the viscosity of the in-situ soil (e.g. clay) is high.

The ground G is cut by the cutting fluid jets Jl and J2 to form the cutting hole HC. As the ground G is cut, a solidification material (e.g. cement fluid) is delivered from a discharge port (not shown) provided around a lower end portion of the jet device 1 via a solidification material flow passage (not shown) in the jet device 1. Accordingly, the solidification material is mixed with an in-situ cut soil and a cutting fluid (e.g. high-pressure water) and filled in the cutting hole HC and then solidified to form an underground consolidated body (not shown).

Since the in-situ soil found in the region a is not cut by the cutting fluid jets J1, J2, the soil may remain in the ground while a clod M found in the region a is not cut.
However, on a cross section (an optional identical cross section) in Fig. 2, the largest clod which is not cut by the flow lines of a plurality of the cutting fluid jets Jl, J2 on the cross section to remain in the ground corresponds to a clod M found in a rhombic region a in Fig. 2. The clod M found in the region a in Fig. 2 has a smaller representative size than those of clods shown in Figs. 10 and 11.
Since the clod M found in the region a in Fig. 2 has a CA 02963217 2017-03-30, smaller representative size, the clod M can readily pass a circular space S (Fig. 1) between the jet device 1 and the inner wall surface of the drilling hole HD together with slime. In other words, a clod M found in the region a in Fig. 2 whose representative size is small does not prevent the slime from being discharged above the ground.

If the interval V in a vertical direction between the nozzles Ni, N2 is set at the minimum interval between the nozzles Ni, N2 (the interval in a vertical direction) when the spacer is not placed between the jet devices 101, 102, for example, the interval in a vertical direction between the nozzles Ni, N2, is "V+T" when the spacer 5 is placed between the jet devices 101, 102.
Further, a plurality of spacers 5 having a different thickness T are prepared, and the range of the interval in a vertical direction between the nozzles Ni, N2 can be adjusted accordingly.

Fig. 6 shows a structure for adjusting the interval V in a vertical direction different from the one in Fig. 5. In Fig.
6, the interval V in a vertical direction is adjusted by using a known rack and a pinion gear structure.
In Fig. 6, a rotating shaft 7A of a pinion gear 7 is attached to a jet device (not shown) to mesh with a rack 6. The rack 6 is fixed to the nozzle Ni to extend parallel to a central axis of the jet device 1 (Fig. 1). By subjecting the pinion gear 7 to positive rotation or negative rotation to move the rack 6 upward and downward, the nozzle Ni will move upward and downward. Accordingly, the interval in a vertical direction between the nozzles Ni, N2 can be adjusted.

In Fig. 6, an arrowed direction AC represents a direction of a cutting fluid jet Jl.
In addition, in Fig. 6 in which only the nozzle Ni is constructed to move upward and downward, only the nozzle N2 can be fixed to a rack 6 to move upward and downward. Further, when the nozzles Ni, N2 are fixed to another rack, respectively, and the pinion gear 7 is rotated, the nozzles Ni, N2 will move CA 02963217 20.17-03-30 in a direction opposite to upward and downward directions to adjust the interval V in a vertical direction between the nozzles Ni, N2.

According to the first embodiment shown in the drawings, the nozzles Ni, N2 of the jet device 1 are located at an interval in a vertical direction, the cutting fluid jet J1 is injected from the upward nozzle Ni in a downward skewed direction, and the cutting fluid jet J2 is injected from the downward nozzle N2 in an upward skewed direction. Accordingly, if flow lines of the cutting fluid jets Jl and J2 are in a region on the right_ side of the jet device 1 in Fig. 2 on an optional position plane, they provide a plurality of straight lines parallel to each other extending from upper left to lower right and a plurality of straight lines parallel to each other extending from lower left to upper right.
Thus, as shown in Fig. 10, a region which is not cut by a cutting fluid jet never extends parallel to flow lines of the cutting fluid jet, and flow lines of another cutting fluid jet assuredly intersects the region which is not cut thereby.

Specifically, even if a region which is not cut by a cutting fluid jet is found instantaneously, the region will thereafter be cut by intersecting any of the cutting fluid jets Jl, J2. Accordingly, a larger representative size of a region which is not cut by the cutting fluid jet is prevented.
Consequently, according to the first embodiment shown in the drawings, the largest clod M which is not cut by the cutting fluid jet to remain in the ground has a smaller representative size than the large clods MI shown in Figs. 10 and 11, and readily passes a circular space (Figs. 1 and 11) between the jet device 1 and an inner wall surface of a drilling hole HD. As a result, discharge of slime above the ground is not prevented.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, since the angle 6 in the nozzles Ni, N2 (the inject angle of the cutting fluid jets Jl, J2) can be adjusted, the cutting diameter D can efficiently be adjusted according to the type of soil in a construction ground G.
Additionally, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, since the interval V in a vertical direction between the nozzles Ni, N2 can be adjusted, the pitch P of jet flow lines shown in Fig. 2 can be adjusted. Therefore, according to the condition of a construction site, the largest representative size of the clod M which is not cut by a jet to remain in the ground can be adjusted.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 7.
In Fig. 7, jets Si, J2 are injected from an upward nozzle Ni of a jet device 10. As described in the first embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 6, the jet Si is injected from the nozzle Ni in a downward skewed direction relative to a horizontal direction, and the jet J2 is injected from the nozzle N2 in an upward skewed direction relative to the horizontal direction.
Although Fig. 7 does not clearly show, as for the jets Si, J2, a radial direction inward (central) portion of a cross section thereof is a jet flow of a partition forming material, and its circumference is surrounded by a jet flow of a high-pressure air. However, even if the high-pressure air is not ejected, the second embodiment can be implemented.
For example, the partition forming material is a solution containing 5% by weight of a thickener (e.g. guar gum as a natural water-soluble polymer material) and 5% by weight of sodium silicate (water glass). The partition forming material is injected to the soil to be mixed with an in-situ soil to form a separation layer LD.
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 7.

Meanwhile, jets J3, J4 injected from downward nozzles N3, N4 are jet flows of a solidification material.
By injecting the jets J3, J4, a solidification material is mixed with a mixture of the partition forming material and the cut in-situ soil.
In order to inject the solidification material by injecting the jets J3, J4 from the jet device 10 which is pulled up by rotating the same, even if the in-situ soil is e.g. a clay, a mixture of the in-situ soil (clay) and the partition forming material are favorably mixed with the solidification material.
Herein, a mixture of the in-situ soil (clay) and the partition forming material passes a circular space S between the jet device 10 and an inner wall surface of a drilling hole HD as shown in an arrowed direction AD as slime to be discharged above the ground. Nevertheless, since the mixture of the in-situ soil (clay) and the partition forming material contains no solidification material, it is not necessary for the mixture to be treated as an industrial waste, thereby no deterioration of working conditions.

As shown in Fig. 7, by cutting a ground G by injecting the partition forming material by injecting the jets Jl, J2, a separation layer LD is formed in an upward region of a space IJ cut by the jets J1, J2 (a space filled with the in-situ soil and the partition forming material). The separation layer LD
serves as a divider so that the solidification material injected from the nozzles N3, N4 does not flow into a circular space S
between the jet device 10 and the inner wall surface of the drilling hole HD.
By injecting a solidification material in a downward region of the space IJ cut by the jets Jl, J2 by injecting the jets J3, J4, a layer LC of a rich-mixed solidification material (having a low W/C, the ratio of water to a solidification material) is formed in a downward region of the space IJ.

[0045]
Herein, the downward jets J3, J4 collide with a cut wall W (an inner wall surface of a diameter-expanded cutting hole cut by the jets J1, J2). Then, if they are rolled up as shown in an arrowed direction AN, a solidification material might be mixed with the separation layer LD (comprising a mixture of the partition forming material and the cut soil). When the solidification material is mixed with the separation layer LD, the solidification material might be discharged above the ground as slime.
In order to prevent from the solidification material from being discharged above the ground, it is necessary for the downward jets J3, J4 to roll down downward as shown in an arrowed direction AG when they collide with the cut wall W. Thus, as shown in Fig. 7, the downward jets J3, J4 face downward by an angle with respect to a horizontal direction HO.
Inventors of the present invention experimentally found that when the injection pressure of the downward jets J3, J4 is 100bar, said inclined angle (3 is preferably 15 , and when the injection pressure of the jets J3, J4 is 200bar, the inclined angle [3 is preferably 30 . Also, mixture of a solidification material with a separation layer LD was prevented.

[0046]
According to the second embodiment in Fig. 7, as the jet device 10 is pulled up, the size of the layer LC of the solidification material in a vertical direction becomes larger (thicker), and the separation layer LD (the layer of the partition forming material) always moves in an upward direction of the layer LC of the solidification material.
To provide a separation layer LD composed of a partition forming material, a mixture of the partition forming material and soil is discharged above the ground as slime (a mixture of the partition forming material and the cut soil). But, a rich-mixed solidification material in the layer LC of the solidification material is hardly discharged above the ground.
Since the solidification material is not discharged above the ground, waste of the solidification material is reduced, and the amount of slime to be treated as an industrial waste in a dedicated plant is reduced.
In addition, the solidification material is injected by the jets J3, J4 from the downward nozzles N3, N4 of the jet device 10, and the jet device 10 is pulled up by rotating the same.

Consequently, even if the viscosity of an in-situ soil (e.g.
clay) is high, a mixture of the in-situ soil (clay) and the partition forming material is favorably mixed with the solidification material.
