| Abstract: |
In this paper the use of permeation grouting for pile foundation improvement is discussed. To begin with, the main principles of the method are explained. After this, the set-up and results of a full scale test are outlined, discussing amongst others the effective stresses, pore water pressures and pile and soil displacements during the installation of tube-à-manchettes (TAMs) and during the actual grouting. The changes in the bearing capacity of wooden pile foundations as a result of the grouting are also discussed. Finally, the practical applicability and costs of permeation grouting for renovating a typical Amsterdam historic structure are discussed. |
