Description

  The present invention relates to a pile construction yatco. More specifically, the present invention relates to an improved Yatco structure.

  As a construction method for piles with spiral blades (for example, steel pipe piles), the steel pipe piles are rotated by a pile rotating device (auger) while the vicinity of the lower end of the steel pipe piles is kept steady by a pile driving machine. There is something. Moreover, in such a construction method, the pile head is directly rotated by a pile rotating device, and the power of the pile rotating device is transmitted to the pile via a Yatco (temporary pile made of steel pipe) between them. (See, for example, Patent Document 1).

  By the way, when constructing a pile, if there is soft ground near the pile head, the displacement of the pile increases with respect to the horizontal force acting during an earthquake, which may adversely affect the superstructure. Therefore, in order to reduce the influence by improving the horizontal strength in the vicinity of the pile head in particular, as a method of expanding the periphery of the pile head, an enlarged diameter drilling hole is first built before the pile is buried. And a method of improving the ground by excavating the periphery of the pile head after burying the pile (see Patent Document 3). Furthermore, there is also proposed a method of excavating a hole for improving the periphery of a pile without excavation, and excavating with the same diameter over the entire length without performing expanded excavation (see Patent Document 4).

Japanese Patent No. 3828731 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-132047 Japanese Patent No. 3127276 Japanese Patent No. 3532247

  In the pile construction method as described above, if the number of steps can be reduced, it is advantageous in terms of cost and quality control. However, when constructing a pile using a Yatco as described above, there is a limit to reducing the number of steps. In addition, it is desirable that the horizontal resistance of the pile buried in the ground can be further improved from the current level.

  Then, an object of this invention is to provide the yatco for pile construction which makes it possible to improve the horizontal proof stress of a pile while reducing the number of processes, considering the subject in a prior art.

  In order to solve this problem, the present inventor has made various studies. In order to improve the horizontal strength of the pile, as described above, a construction method such as building a drilling hole with an enlarged diameter in advance or excavating the periphery of the pile head to improve the ground has been adopted, The current situation is that it has undergone various processes such as excavation process, pile burying process, and ground improvement process.

  Moreover, in order to improve the horizontal proof stress of a pile, the surroundings of a pile head are expanded and excavated as mentioned above, and also the ground is improved by filling the pile periphery with a ground improvement material. In this case, it is desirable that the horizontal proof stress of the pile be exhibited evenly, but in reality, the pile moves in the expanded excavation hole until the improved material solidifies, and the center of the pile and the improved material center There was a possibility that it would shift. Such shift of the center of the pile is not desirable from the viewpoint of improving the horizontal strength because the horizontal strength of the pile is not uniform.

  The present inventor who has repeatedly studied these current technologies and focused on the structure of the pile construction yatco has obtained new knowledge that leads to the solution of such problems. The present invention is based on such knowledge, and is a yatco for pile construction, in which the outer frame body for expanding the ground and the pile core of the pile to be constructed are substantially aligned with the center of rotation of the yatco. And a pile engaging portion that engages with a part of the pile, and at the same time as burying the pile, a space for ground improvement is formed around the pile in the ground.

  If the pile is embedded in the ground using the pile construction yatco having the structure as described above, an enlarged excavation hole as a ground improvement space can be built around the pile by the outer frame simultaneously with the embedding process. it can. In addition, when the yatco is pulled up (or after it is lifted), the ground can be improved by placing a ground improvement material on the enlarged excavated portion. For example, in the case of the conventional method, an enlarged excavation hole is first built, then the pile is buried, and then the various steps are sequentially performed such as improving the ground around the pile. If the construction Yatco is used, the ground can be improved in the process of burying the pile.

  Also, according to this pile construction yatco, it is possible to expand the ground while holding the pile substantially in line with the rotation center of the yatco. Can be built. In addition, when this pile construction Yatco is used, the tip of the pile is buried in the ground, so until the ground improvement material placed in the enlarged excavation hole solidifies, There is little risk of the pile moving inside. For this reason, the state which aligned the center of the pile and the center of the ground improvement material can be maintained, and the ground improvement material can be solidified in an even state around the pile. By these, according to the yatco for construction concerning this invention, the bending moment which may act on a pile can be reduced, and horizontal proof stress can be improved. In short, the pile construction yatco according to the present invention is characteristic in that it is possible to improve the horizontal proof stress (strength against earthquakes) in the vicinity of the pile head, particularly during construction of the pile.

  The pile construction yatco according to the present invention is preferably such that the outer frame body is a hopper capable of storing the ground improvement material, and the hopper is provided with an outflow hole for the ground improvement material. When such a pile construction Yatco is used, the ground improvement material stored in the outer frame body can be driven into the expanded excavation hole while pulling up the pile construction Yatco. It becomes possible to fill the ground improvement material so as not to mix with the earth and sand. For this reason, it is easier to demonstrate the effect of the ground improvement material than the conventional technique in which the ground improvement material and the earth and sand may be mixed.

  Such a pile construction yatco is preferably provided with an opening / closing lid that opens and closes the outflow hole by receiving resistance in the ground when the yatco is propelled into the ground and pulled up from the ground. . According to this, when pulling up the pile construction yat from the ground, the opening / closing lid is automatically operated to open the outflow hole, and the ground improvement material can be placed in conjunction with the operation.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the outflow hole of the pile construction yatco is provided at the bottom of the hopper.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the opening / closing lid is provided with a projection that increases resistance in the ground against the opening / closing lid when the Yatco is pulled up from the ground.

  In this case, the protrusion is more preferably a blade that generates a propulsion force into the ground when rotating.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the outer frame body as a hopper is formed so that the upper edge may be located in the height substantially equal to the pile head of the pile which is construction object.

  The guide is preferably an internal steel pipe having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the pile, and is integrated so that the axis of the inner steel pipe substantially coincides with the rotation center of the outer frame body.

  Furthermore, it is also preferable that at least a part of the outer frame is tapered.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the number of steps and improve the horizontal strength of the pile.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be described in detail based on an example of an embodiment shown in the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a pile construction yatco (hereinafter also simply referred to as “yatko”) according to the present invention. The Yatco 20 is a steel material jig for embedding the steel pipe pile 10 in the ground G, and an outer frame body that is a steel material jig capable of digging the ground G and placing the ground improvement material 30. It has a structure that is integrated with. Below, the structure of the common pile driver 1 utilized for pile construction is demonstrated easily first (refer FIG. 1), and the 1st-4th embodiment of this invention is described sequentially one after another.

  The pile driving machine 1 is a machine that has a leader 2, an auger 3, a steadying device 4, and the like, and rotates a pile (for example, a steel pipe pile 10) while standing and embeds it in the ground G (see FIG. 1). In addition, in FIG. 1, the cap which may be attached to the base end (upper end) of the steel pipe pile 10 is shown with the imaginary line.

  The auger (pile rotating device) 3 is provided so as to be movable along a leader 2 standing in the vertical direction during pile driving, and moves up and down along the longitudinal direction of the leader 2 (see FIG. 1). A steel pipe pile 10 is connected to the auger 3 directly or via a Yatco 20, and when the auger 3 is driven to rotate, the steel pipe pile 10 also rotates. In this embodiment, the steel pipe pile 10 provided with the spiral blade 12 for excavation at the tip is used, and propulsion to the ground generated by the spiral blade 12 by rotating the steel pipe pile 10 in this way. Using the force, the steel pipe pile 10 is dug while biting into the unexcavated ground G. When the steel pipe pile 10 is excavated with respect to the ground G, the auger 3 also descends along the leader 2.

  The steady rest device 4 is a device that guides the steel pipe pile 10 to be struck and suppresses the lateral runout (shake in the horizontal direction) of the steel pipe pile 10, and is provided, for example, at the lower portion of the leader 2 (see FIG. 1). ). Further, the steady rest device 4 includes a guide portion 5 that surrounds and guides the steel pipe pile 10 around the axis of the steel pipe pile 10. For example, in the case of the present embodiment, the guide portion 5 has a pair of open / close guides (not shown) provided so as to swing horizontally with respect to the vertically standing leader 2.

  Then, the construction example of the steel pipe pile 10 using the structure of the YATCO 20 and the YATCO 20 will be described below.

<First Embodiment>
The Yatco 20 of this embodiment is a steel pipe temporary pile for burying a pile including an outer frame body 21, a guide 22, a pile engaging portion 22b, and the like. A space for ground improvement is formed around the area.

  The outer frame body 21 of the YATCO 20 functions as a hopper capable of expanding the ground G and storing the ground improvement material 30 (hereinafter also referred to as a hopper). For example, in the present embodiment, the hopper 21 is formed of a cylindrical portion and a tapered portion provided at a lower portion of the cylindrical portion (see FIG. 2 and the like). The hopper 21 having a tapered lower portion is preferable in that the ground G can be easily excavated.

  The guide 22 is a member that maintains a state in which the pile core of the steel pipe pile 10 to be buried is substantially aligned with the center of rotation of the yatco 20. For example, in the present embodiment, a steel pipe having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the steel pipe pile 10 to be constructed (hereinafter also referred to as an internal steel pipe 22) is used as a guide.

  The internal steel pipe 22 and the hopper 21 are integrated by a connecting member 23 so that the axis of the internal steel pipe 22 substantially coincides with the rotation center of the hopper 21. Although the specific configuration of the connecting member 23 is not particularly limited, for example, in the present embodiment, a total of two connecting members 23 made of spoke-like arms having a cross-like shape in plan view are used for each of the upper and lower stages. The inner wall of the hopper 21 and the internal steel pipe 22 are connected at two locations near the upper portion and near the lower portion of the cylindrical portion of the hopper 21 (see FIG. 2). Since such a spoke-like connecting member 23 can secure a sufficient opening, it obstructs the work of filling the ground improvement material 30 in the hopper 21 or the work of checking how much the ground improvement material 30 is filled. Don't be. Further, if the spokes 23 having the same configuration can be used in two places, it is advantageous in terms of cost.

  At the upper end of the internal steel pipe (guide) 22, an engagement protrusion 22 a for connecting to the auger 3 is formed. The engaging protrusions 22a are composed of, for example, two protrusions of the same shape arranged at equal intervals (every 180 degrees) (see FIG. 2), and function as a rotation stopper when being rotated by the auger 3. If the shape of the upper end portion of the internal steel pipe 22 including the engaging protrusion 22a is the same as the shape of the upper end portion of the pile 10, both the pile 10 and the internal steel pipe 22 are directly connected to the auger 3 without using an auxiliary tool or the like. Can be attached.

  Further, a pile engaging portion 22 b for connecting the pile 10 is formed at the lower end of the internal steel pipe (guide) 22. The pile engaging portion 22b in the present embodiment includes a notch 22c into which the engaging protrusion 11 of the pile 10 is fitted, and a notch cover 22d that covers the notch 22c from the outside and reinforces the strength. (See FIG. 4). The notch 22c of the pile engaging portion 22d and the engaging protrusion 11 of the pile 10 fitted in the notch 22c function as a detent in the circumferential direction of the pile 10 with respect to the internal steel pipe 22. Therefore, when the Yatco 20 is rotated with the internal steel pipe 22 and the pile 10 engaged, the pile 10 also rotates by the same amount. Note that the engagement protrusion 11 of the pile 10 is positioned in contact with the wall (per degree) of the notch 22c at a predetermined position, and cannot enter deeper than the predetermined position (see FIGS. 3 and 4). . The notch cover 22 also functions as a hit for defining a stroke end of the movable lid 24 described later.

  Moreover, the outflow hole 21a for making the ground improvement material 30 stored in the said hopper 21 flow out outside is provided in the bottom part of the hopper (outer frame body) 21, for example (refer FIG. 2, FIG. 3). . For example, in the present embodiment, the bottom of the tapered cylindrical portion at the bottom of the hopper is opened to form an annular outflow hole 21a centering on the internal steel pipe 22 (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

  Further, the YATCO 20 includes a movable lid (open / close lid) 24 that opens and closes the outflow hole 21a. For example, the yatco 20 of the present embodiment includes a movable lid 24 that opens and closes the outflow hole 21a by receiving resistance in the ground when the yatco 20 is propelled into the ground and pulled up from the ground ( (See FIGS. 2 and 3).

  The movable lid 24 of the present embodiment has a size that can close the outflow hole 21a with a pipe portion 24a that can slide around the inner steel pipe 2 along the axial direction and can rotate around the inner steel pipe 2. For example, a circular flat plate portion 24b is integrated. The movable lid 24 has a position where the flat plate portion 24b is in contact with the edge of the outflow hole 21a (upper stroke end), and an edge of the pipe portion 24a is in contact with the notch cover (per degree) 22d of the pile engaging portion 22b. It is possible to stroke at a predetermined interval between the position (lower stroke end).

  The movable lid 24 is preferably provided with a resistance increasing portion that increases the resistance of the movable lid 24 in the ground when the Yatco 20 is pulled up from the ground. In the present embodiment, a spiral blade 24c is formed around the pipe portion 24a, and when the steel pipe pile 10 is buried, the spiral blade 24c is bitten into the ground G like an anchor, and the resistance at the time of pulling is increased to be movable. The lid 24 is forcibly opened (see FIGS. 2 and 3). Moreover, when the spiral blade 24c rotates around the vertical axis when the steel pipe pile 10 is buried, the spiral blade 24c bites into the ground G to generate a propulsive force into the ground, and the steel pipe pile 10 can be buried more easily. Let

  Further, the YATCO 20 is provided with a device for restricting relative rotation of the movable lid 24 with respect to the hopper 21 at a predetermined time, for example, a relative rotation restricting device comprising a combination of a recess and a protrusion fitted into the recess. It is preferable. For example, in this embodiment, for example, two relative rotation restricting protrusions (hereinafter also referred to as co-rotating protrusions) 21 b that protrude vertically downward are provided on the bottom of the hopper 21, and the flat plate portion 24 b of the movable lid 24 is provided on the flat plate portion 24 b. A co-rotation notch 24d into which the co-rotation protrusion 21b can be fitted is provided (see FIG. 3 and the like). When the internal piping 22 and the hopper 21 are rotated in a state in which the common rotation projection 21b is fitted in the rotation regulating notch 24b, the movable lid 24 is rotated together with these to restrict relative rotation with respect to the hopper 21 and the like. be able to. The common rotation projection 21b is in a state of being fitted into the common rotation notch 24d when the pile is embedded in the ground, while the common rotation notch 24d is automatically pulled from the common rotation notch 24d. It can come out and does not hinder the operation for opening the movable lid 24.

  Then, an example of the construction procedure at the time of embedding the steel pipe pile 10 using the above-mentioned Yatco 20 is demonstrated below (refer FIG. 5 etc.).

  First, when the steel pipe pile 10 is built in the ground G, the open / close guide (not shown) of the steadying device 4 of the pile driving machine 1 is opened, the auger 3 is lowered along the leader 2, and the steel pipe pile 10 Is connected to the auger 3. Then, the auger 3 is raised and the steel pipe pile 10 is suspended, and the said steel pipe pile 10 is set according to a pile core (refer FIG. 1). When the tip of the steel pipe pile 10 is set on the pile core, the open / close guide is closed to keep the steady state, and the steel pipe pile 10 is gripped.

  Here, after confirming that the steel pipe pile 10 is vertically built, the auger 3 gives a positive rotation (right rotation) to the steel pipe pile 10, and the propulsive force generated by the spiral blades 12 of the steel pipe pile 10 It is embedded in the ground G (see FIGS. 5A and 5B). If the 1st steel pipe pile 10 (10A) is embed | buried, the steel pipe pile 10 (10B) after 2nd will be added by welding or a mechanical coupling as needed (refer FIG.5 (C)).

  Next, the Yatco 20 according to the present invention is installed at a predetermined position. Here, the Yatco 20 is lowered from the upper part of the second steel pipe pile 10 (10B), and the steel pipe pile 10 is passed through the inner steel pipe 22 (see FIG. 5D). In addition, like the Example mentioned later, you may make it insert the 2nd steel pipe pile 10 (10B) in the internal steel pipe 22 of the Yatco 20, and add both steel pipe piles, inserting. Next, the engaging protrusion 11 of the steel pipe pile 10 is engaged with a notch 22c (not shown in FIG. 5 of the notch cover 22d) of the pile engaging portion 22b of the internal steel pipe 22 (see FIG. 5E). ). At this time, since the steel pipe pile 10 is in a state of passing through the internal steel pipe 22 of the YATCO 20, the steel pipe pile 10 can be held in a state of being substantially coincident with the rotation center of the YATCO 20.

  Subsequently, the auger 3 rotates the Yatco 20 in the normal direction (right rotation), and further embeds the steel pipe pile 10 (see FIG. 5F). In the case of this embodiment, the driving force by the auger 3 is that the engagement protrusion 22a of the Yatco 20 → the internal steel pipe 22 → the pile engagement portion 22b → the engagement protrusion 11 → the first steel pipe pile 10A → the second steel pipe pile 10B. It is transmitted to the steel pipe pile 10 by a route, and the engagement protrusion 22a of the Yatco 20 → the inner steel pipe 22 → the spoke (connection member) 23 → the hopper 21 → the common rotation protrusion 21b → the common rotation notch 24d → the pipe portion 24a → It is transmitted to the movable lid 24 through a route called the movable lid 24. When the steel pipe pile 10 is embedded by rotating the Yatco 20 forward (rightward), the periphery of the steel pipe pile 10 (second steel pipe pile 10B in this embodiment) can be expanded and excavated by the hopper 21.

  Here, in this embodiment, a predetermined amount of ground improvement material (cement milk or the like) 30 is filled in the hopper 21 of the Yatco 20 (see FIG. 5G), and then only the Yatco 20 is pulled up from the ground G. (See FIG. 5H). When the Yatco 20 is pulled up, the movable lid 24 slides due to the weight of the earth and the ground improvement material 30 and the resistance acting on the spiral blade 24c, and the outflow hole 21a is automatically opened. Accordingly, the ground improvement material 30 flows out from the outflow hole 21a in conjunction with the lifting operation of the Yatco 20, and is sequentially driven from the bottom in the enlarged excavation hole, so that the periphery of the steel pipe pile 10 is improved (FIG. 5 ( See I)).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, various processes such as the embedding process of the steel pipe pile 10, the expanded excavation process for ground improvement, and the placement process of the ground improvement material 30 depending on the case are performed simultaneously or continuously. be able to. That is, according to such a construction method using the YATCO 20, a process of embedding the steel pipe pile 10 in the ground G using the YATCO 20 and a process of building an enlarged excavation hole around the steel pipe pile 10 by the hopper 21. In addition, the ground improvement material 30 can be placed in the enlarged excavated portion when the Yatco 20 is pulled up. According to this, since it becomes possible to perform different processes, such as the embedding process of the steel pipe pile 10 and the building process of the improved body, at the same time, the number of processes passed during construction can be reduced, and construction efficiency can be improved. Become. In addition, the reduction in the number of processes is advantageous in terms of cost and quality control during construction of the steel pipe pile 10.

  Moreover, according to this embodiment, the steel pipe pile 10 can be embed | buried in the ground G, without constructing an enlarged diameter excavation hole beforehand, and only the periphery of the upper part of the said steel pipe pile 10 can be expanded and excavated (FIG. 5 etc.). reference). According to this, until the ground improvement material 30 solidifies in the expanded excavation hole, the tip of the steel pipe pile 10 is buried in the ground, and the steel pipe pile 10 is maintained in a state in which it is difficult to move in the expanded excavation hole. be able to. For this reason, since the ground improvement material 30 can be solidified in a uniform state around the steel pipe pile 10, there is an advantage that the horizontal proof stress of the steel pipe pile 10 can be easily improved without going through an extra adjustment / management process. is there.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the ground improvement material 30 stored in the hopper 21 is driven into the enlarged excavation hole while being not mixed with the earth and sand of the ground G while pulling up the Yatco 20 ( In other words, it is possible to perform “replacement placement” instead of “mixed placement” as in the prior art. Therefore, since the boundary surface between the steel pipe pile 10 and the ground improvement material 30 does not contact the ground G, only the ground improvement material 30 can be solidified in the expanded excavation hole, so that the desired strength is achieved or obtained. There is an advantage that it is easy.

  Furthermore, the Yatco 20 of the present embodiment makes it possible to advantageously carry out pile construction even when a groundwater vein exists in the ground G. If explanation is added about this point, if an enlarged excavation hole is built beforehand in the ground G like the past, for example, it may break through a groundwater vein and groundwater may flow into an excavation hole, and a hole wall may collapse. In this regard, according to the present embodiment, the hole wall of the excavation hole is pressed by the hopper 21 until just before placing the ground improvement material 30 in the enlarged excavation hole (see FIG. 5 (G) and the like). Even if the excavation hole cuts through the groundwater vein, it is possible to prevent the groundwater from flowing until immediately before the ground improvement material 30 is placed. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the advantage that the quality at the time of pile construction can be improved than before, the improvement effect by the ground improvement material 30 than in the conventional construction method is exhibited, and the horizontal strength of the steel pipe pile 10 is improved. There is also an advantage that it is easy to improve.

  Further, in the construction method of the present embodiment using the YATCO 20, an enlarged excavation hole is constructed by propelling it into the ground while rotating the hopper (outer frame body) 21 without previously constructing an enlarged excavation hole. Therefore, it is also characteristic in that earth is not discharged during construction. That is, by eliminating (or reducing) the residual soil (construction by-product) generated during the construction of the steel pipe pile 10, it is possible to reduce the residual soil disposal cost (industrial waste handling). It is also desirable from the environmental aspect to suppress the generation of construction by-products in this way.

  Moreover, according to this embodiment which constructs the steel pipe pile 10 using the Yatco 20 provided with the internal steel pipe 22 as a guide of the steel pipe pile 10, there are also the following advantages. That is, the internal steel pipe 22 separates the ground improvement material 30 and the steel pipe pile 10 filled in the hopper 21, and until the ground improvement material 30 flows out from the outflow hole 21a, the ground improvement material 30 is a steel pipe. The state which does not adhere to the surface of the pile 10 is maintained (refer FIG. 5 (G), (H) etc.). Further, for example, when the Yatco 20 is installed at a predetermined position from the upper part of the second steel pipe pile 10 (10B) (see FIG. 5D), the steel pipe is used in the case of a discontinuous structure in which the guide is interrupted, for example. Although it is necessary to install the Yatco 20 while aligning the center of the Yatco 20 with the center of the pile 10, in this embodiment, it is easy to guide the steel pipe pile 10 along the inner peripheral surface of the inner steel pipe 22 and install it. There is no hassle to align many times in the middle.

  In addition, in this embodiment, there is an advantage that the amount of the ground improvement material 30 can be easily grasped. That is, since the enlarged excavation hole is constructed according to the outer shape of the hopper 21, the amount of the ground improvement material 30 to be placed in the enlarged excavation hole can be easily calculated based on the capacity of the hopper 21. It is easy to grasp how much the ground improvement material 30 should be prepared. This is also advantageous in terms of cost and quality control during construction of the steel pipe pile 10. It should be noted that the depth to which the steel pipe pile 10 and the hopper 21 are propelled can be appropriately changed according to the design of the structure to be supported. It is always easy to grasp the amount of the ground improvement material 30 that should be.

  A specific example of this embodiment will be added below. In this embodiment, a steel pipe pile 10 having a diameter of about 165 mm is embedded 10 m (the first steel pipe pile 10 </ b> A is 5 m and the second steel pipe pile 10 </ b> B is 5 m) and at the same time a ground improvement body having a diameter of about 700 mm is about 5 m deep. Built. That is, first, the first steel pipe pile (lower pile) 10A is buried as usual (see FIG. 5 (B)), and then, conventionally, the second steel pipe pile (upper pile) 10B is added and buried as it is. However, here, the second steel pipe pile (upper pile) 10B was inserted into the internal steel pipe 22 of the integrated Yatco 20, and both piles (lower pile and upper pile) were joined together. Thereafter, the steel pipe pile 10 was buried in the ground G as it was to a predetermined depth (in this case, 10 m). At this point, the steel pipe pile 10 was buried to a depth of 10 m, and the Yatco 20 with the steel pipe pile 10 inserted therein was buried 5 m. In addition, the inside of the hopper 21 of the Yatco 20 at this time was a hollow because the outflow hole 21 a was covered with the movable lid 24. Subsequently, the ground improvement material 30 was put into the cavity in the hopper 21 and filled, and the Yatco 20 was lifted and collected without rotation (however, it may be rotated). When the Yatco 20 was pulled up, the movable lid 24 was relatively slid by the spiral blade 24c functioning as an anchor, the outflow hole 21a was opened, and the ground improvement material 30 flowed out. The improved material that flowed out became an improved body around the steel pipe pile 10 as it was, and was integrated with the steel pipe pile 10. At this time, since the steel pipe pile 10 did not touch the surrounding ground G, soil did not adhere to the surface of the steel pipe pile 10.
