RESUMO

Jet grouting is one of the most popular ground improvement techniques all over the world. The method is based on high-speed grouting of water-cement mixtures and/or other fluids (air, water) into the subsoil. The fluids are injected through small diameter nozzles placed on a grout pipe, which is continuously rotated at a constant rate and slowly raised towards the ground surface. The jet removes and mixes the soil, producing a cemented body of quasi-cylindrical shape (the jet grouting column). Varying the operational parameters (grout pressure, number and diameter of the nozzles, monitor lifting rate, water-cement ratio of the grout) and as a function of the soil type, columns of variable diameters can be obtained in a wide interval. Currently, in search of the required diameter, the choice of the operational parameters is done on the basis of empirical rules not always relevant, causing very often the failure of the treatment or making it excessively onerous. This thesis presents a simplificated method for the prediction of the column diameter (single fluid system). Conjugating the rational analysis of the physical phenomenon of jetsoil interaction (Modoni et al., 2006) to the typical easiness of empirical methods application, an agile tool is proposed for the choice of the most appropriate combination of the operational parameters.
