Description
La présente invention a pour objet un procédé et une machine pour la réalisation de pieux forés en terrain dur et notamment dans des terrains granitiques.The present invention relates to a method and a machine for producing piles bored in hard ground and in particular in granite soils.
Lorsque l'on doit réaliser un ensemble de pieux forés pour servir notamment de base à la réalisation de constructions ultérieures, il est bien connu que, dans un premier temps, on réalise un forage de diamètre et de profondeur requis, puis on coule dans le forage ainsi réalisé du béton éventuellement armé pour constituer le pieu, le forage constituant le moule dans lequel le pieu est fabriqué.When it is necessary to carry out a set of bored piles to serve in particular as a basis for carrying out subsequent constructions, it is well known that, initially, a drilling is carried out with the required diameter and depth, then it is poured into the drilling thus carried out of possibly reinforced concrete to constitute the pile, the drilling constituting the mold in which the pile is manufactured.
Un des problèmes qui se posent pour assurer la réalisation convenable des pieux forés est de s'assurer que le fond du forage réalisé est bien situé sur une profondeur suffisante dans un sol de propriétés physiques convenables pour servir d'ancrage aux pieux. Le sol de propriétés physiques convenables sera par exemple une roche dure et notamment du granite. Dans le cas de cette dernière roche, il est nécessaire de s'assurer que la zone granitique est suffisamment saine, c'est-à-dire que le granite est non friable et qu'il ne présente pas ou peu de fissures qui seraient susceptibles d'altérer la résistance mécanique de la zone granitique ou, plus généralement, de la zone à résistance mécanique élevée.One of the problems which arise in ensuring the proper construction of bored piles is to ensure that the bottom of the borehole is well located over a sufficient depth in a soil of suitable physical properties to serve as anchoring to the piles. The soil with suitable physical properties will be for example a hard rock and in particular granite. In the case of this last rock, it is necessary to ensure that the granite zone is sufficiently healthy, that is to say that the granite is non-friable and that it has little or no cracks which would be susceptible alter the mechanical resistance of the granite zone or, more generally, of the zone with high mechanical resistance.
Pour résoudre ce problème, la solution utilisée actuellement consiste à réaliser, dans le terrain où l'on veut fabriquer les pieux, des carottages de diamètre relativement réduit de l'ordre de 20 à 30 cm servant à effectuer des prélèvements de roche sur la profondeur du carottage.To solve this problem, the solution currently used consists in carrying out, in the ground where the piles are to be made, cores of relatively reduced diameter of the order of 20 to 30 cm used to take rock samples from the depth. coring.
On comprend cependant que, dans certains cas, ces carottages, du fait de leur diamètre relativement réduit et du fait qu'ils sont nécessairement relativement espacés les uns des autres, ne permettent pas d'assurer que les pieux forés effectivement réalisés présenteront un ancrage dans une couche de terrain dur présentant les propriétés physiques requises.It is understood, however, that in certain cases, these cores, owing to their relatively small diameter and the fact that they are necessarily relatively spaced from one another, do not make it possible to ensure that the bored piles actually produced will have an anchoring in a layer of hard ground with the required physical properties.
Un premier objet de l'invention est de fournir un procédé qui permet d'assurer que le pieu foré réalisé présente effectivement un ancrage dans une couche de terrain présentant les propriétés physiques requises.A first object of the invention is to provide a method which makes it possible to ensure that the bored pile produced actually has an anchoring in a layer of ground having the required physical properties.
Pour atteindre ce but selon l'invention, le procédé de réalisation d'un pieu foré dans un terrain dur à l'aide d'une machine de forage se caractérise en ce qu'il comprend les étapes suivantes :
- on équipe la machine de forage de capteurs pour mesurer des caractéristiques dynamiques de l'outil de forage comprenant au moins certaines des caractéristiques suivantes : couple de l'outil, vitesse de pénétration de l'outil, vitesse de rotation de l'outil, poussée exercée sur l'outil ;
- on mémorise, au fur et à mesure de leur acquisition, les mesures faites par lesdits capteurs pour des profondeurs successives correspondant à un pas prédéterminé ;
- pour chaque profondeur, on calcule au moins une première variable représentative de la qualité du terrain rencontré à partir des mesures mémorisées, et on mémorise les valeurs successives de la première variable pour les profondeurs successives au fur et à mesure de leur calcul ;
- on traite les valeurs successives de ladite variable pour rechercher dans les valeurs successives de ladite variable une succession sensiblement continue de valeurs de la variable correspondant à une qualité de terrain acceptable, pour des profondeurs successives correspondant à une différence de profondeurs prédéterminée ; et
- on interrompt le forage lorsqu'on a détecté ladite succession sensiblement continue de valeurs acceptables pour ladite différence de profondeur prédéterminée.
- the drilling machine is equipped with sensors to measure dynamic characteristics of the drilling tool comprising at least some of the following characteristics: tool torque, tool penetration speed, tool rotation speed, thrust exerted on the tool;
- the measurements made by said sensors are stored, as they are acquired, for successive depths corresponding to a predetermined pitch;
- for each depth, at least a first variable representative of the quality of the terrain encountered is calculated from the stored measurements, and the successive values of the first variable are stored for the successive depths as they are calculated;
- the successive values of said variable are processed to search in the successive values of said variable for a substantially continuous succession of values of the variable corresponding to an acceptable quality of terrain, for successive depths corresponding to a predetermined difference in depths; and
- the drilling is interrupted when said substantially continuous succession of acceptable values for said predetermined depth difference has been detected.
On comprend que, dans le procédé selon l'invention, on mesure en temps réel, pour des profondeurs successives prédéterminées, au moins une variable représentative de la qualité du sous-sol à partir de mesures réalisées à l'aide de capteurs montés sur la machine. Les valeurs successives calculées de la variable sont traitées pour déterminer ou détecter le fait que la variable présente la valeur requise de façon sensiblement continue pour une différence de profondeur prédéterminée, cette différence de profondeur prédéterminée correspondant à la hauteur requise d'ancrage du pieu. Lorsqu'une telle différence de profondeur a été détectée, on interrompt le forage et le pieu peut alors être réalisé.It will be understood that, in the method according to the invention, at least one variable representative of the quality of the subsoil is measured in real time, for successive predetermined depths, from measurements carried out using sensors mounted on the machine. The calculated successive values of the variable are processed to determine or detect the fact that the variable has the required value substantially continuously for a predetermined depth difference, this predetermined depth difference corresponding to the required pile anchoring height. When such a difference in depth has been detected, drilling is stopped and the pile can then be made.
Il faut souligner qu'on peut simultanément enregistrer, pour les différentes profondeurs, les mesures faites par les capteurs, ainsi que les valeurs calculées de la variable pour les différentes profondeurs, ce qui constituera un élément de preuve que le pieu foré a été réalisé dans les conditions fixées.It should be noted that the measurements made by the sensors, as well as the calculated values of the variable for the different depths, which will constitute evidence that the bored pile was made under the conditions laid down.
De préférence, à partir des paramètres fournis par les capteurs pour les différentes profondeurs, on calcule deux variables distinctes représentatives des qualités du sol nécessaires pour la détection d'une couche de sol présentant les propriétés physiques requises en vue de constituer un ancrage pour le pieu foré. La détection porte bien sûr sur les valeurs des deux variables et le forage est interrompu lorsque, pour les deux variables, on trouve une différence de profondeur prédéterminée commune.Preferably, from the parameters provided by the sensors for the different depths, two distinct variables are calculated, representative of the qualities of the soil necessary for the detection of a layer of soil having the physical properties required in order to constitute an anchorage for the pile. drilled. The detection of course relates to the values of the two variables and the drilling is interrupted when, for the two variables, there is a common predetermined depth difference.
On comprend que, dans cette variante, le procédé permet d'obtenir une évaluation plus précise des qualités du sous-sol et donc de s'assurer de façon plus précise que la couche de terrain dur convenable a été effectivement forée.It is understood that, in this variant, the method makes it possible to obtain a more precise evaluation of the qualities of the subsoil and therefore to ensure more precisely that the layer of suitable hard ground has actually been drilled.
Un deuxième objet de l'invention est de fournir une machine de réalisation de pieux forés pour la mise en oeuvre d'un procédé du type mentionné ci-dessus.A second object of the invention is to provide a machine for making bored piles for implementing a method of the type mentioned above.
La machine de réalisation de pieux forés dans un terrain dur comprenant un outil de forage fixé à l'extrémité inférieure d'un train de tiges et des moyens de mise en rotation du train de tiges et d'enfoncement de ce train de tiges dans le sol se caractérise en ce qu'elle comprend en outre :
- des capteurs pour mesurer des caractéristiques dynamiques de l'outil de forage comprenant au moins certaines des caractéristiques suivantes : couple de l'outil, vitesse de pénétration de l'outil, vitesse de rotation de l'outil, poussée exercée sur l'outil ;
- des moyens pour mémoriser au fur et à mesure de leur acquisition les mesures faites par lesdits capteurs pour des profondeurs successives correspondant à un pas prédéterminé ;
- des moyens pour calculer, pour chaque profondeur, au moins une première variable représentative de la qualité du terrain rencontré à partir des mesures mémorisées, et des moyens pour mémoriser les valeurs successives de la première variable pour les profondeurs successives au fur et à mesure de leur calcul ;
- des moyens pour traiter les valeurs successives de ladite variable pour rechercher parmi les valeurs successives de ladite variable une succession sensiblement continue de valeurs de la variable correspondant à une qualité de terrain acceptable, pour des profondeurs successives correspondant à une différence de profondeurs prédéterminée ; et
- des moyens pour interrompre le forage lorsque ladite succession sensiblement continue de valeurs acceptables pour ladite différence de profondeur prédéterminée a été détectée.
- sensors for measuring dynamic characteristics of the drilling tool comprising at least some of the following characteristics: tool torque, tool penetration speed, tool rotation speed, thrust exerted on the tool;

- means for calculating, for each depth, at least a first variable representative of the quality of the terrain encountered from the stored measurements, and means for storing the successive values of the first variable for the successive depths as they are calculation;
- means for processing the successive values of said variable to search among the successive values of said variable for a substantially continuous succession of values of the variable corresponding to an acceptable quality of terrain, for successive depths corresponding to a predetermined difference in depths; and
- means for interrupting drilling when said substantially continuous succession of acceptable values for said predetermined difference in depth has been detected.

Sur la figure 1, on a représenté une machine de forage 10 comprenant une plate-forme 12 sur laquelle est articulé un mât de guidage 14. Sur le mât de guidage 14 est monté un chariot 16 qui porte lui-même une tête de forage ou tête de mise en rotation 18. Dans la tête de forage 18 est engagé un train de tiges 20 à l'extrémité inférieure duquel est monté un outil de forage 22. Comme cela est bien connu, la tête de forage 18 comporte notamment un moteur 24 de mise en rotation du train de tiges. L'enfoncement de l'outil 22 dans le sol pour réaliser le forage est commandé, par exemple, par un ensemble de chaînes ou de courroies 26 servant au déplacement en translation du chariot 16 le long du mât, les chaînes 26 étant entraînées en déplacement par un ensemble moteur 28.FIG. 1 shows a drilling machine 10 comprising a platform 12 on which a guide mast 14 is articulated. On the guide mast 14 is mounted a carriage 16 which itself carries a drilling head or rotation head 18. In the drilling head 18 is engaged a drill string 20 at the lower end of which is mounted a drilling tool 22. As is well known, the drilling head 18 comprises in particular a motor 24 for rotating the drill string. The insertion of the tool 22 into the ground to carry out the drilling is controlled, for example, by a set of chains or belts 26 serving for the translational movement of the carriage 16 along the mast, the chains 26 being driven in displacement by a motor assembly 28.
Selon l'invention, la machine est équipée d'un certain nombre de capteurs qui sont notamment un capteur de poussée 30 correspondant par exemple à la pression du moteur hydraulique 26 provoquant l'enfoncement du train de tiges, par un capteur 32 monté sur le chariot 16 et fournissant la vitesse de pénétration Vp de l'outil, dans le sol, et des capteurs 34, 36 montés également sur la tête de forage fournissant la vitesse de rotation du train de tiges Vr, ainsi que le couple C appliqué à l'outil de forage. Enfin, des moyens représentés schématiquement par 38 permettent de déterminer la profondeur de l'outil de forage 22. Ces différents capteurs 30 à 38 sont reliés à un ensemble de traitement 40 permettant de contrôler la réalisation du forage à l'aide de l'outil 22 et de la machine 10.According to the invention, the machine is equipped with a number of sensors which are in particular a thrust sensor 30 corresponding for example to the pressure of the hydraulic motor 26 causing the sinking of the drill string, by a sensor 32 mounted on the carriage 16 and supplying the penetration speed V p of the tool, into the ground, and of the sensors 34, 36 also mounted on the drilling head supplying the speed of rotation of the drill string V r , as well as the torque C applied to the drilling tool. Finally, means represented schematically by 38 make it possible to determine the depth of the drilling tool 22. These different sensors 30 to 38 are connected to a processing assembly 40 making it possible to control the execution of the drilling using the tool 22 and machine 10.
Dans la description qui suit, les paramètres dynamiques de l'outil de forage choisis sont la poussée P, le couple C exercé par l'outil, la vitesse de rotation Vr de l'outil et la vitesse de pénétration Vp de l'outil dans le sol. Il va de soi qu'on ne sortirait pas de l'invention si l'on utilisait d'autres paramètres dynamiques de l'outil.In the following description, the dynamic parameters of the drilling tool chosen are the thrust P, the torque C exerted by the tool, the speed of rotation V r of the tool and the penetration speed V p of the tool in the ground. It goes without saying that we would not depart from the invention if we used other dynamic parameters of the tool.
Les mesures faites par les capteurs 30 à 36 sont transmises en temps réel à l'ensemble de traitement 40. Cet ensemble de traitement comporte essentiellement une unité centrale 42 construite autour d'un microprocesseur, une mémoire de données 44, une mémoire de travail 46 et une mémoire de programme 48.The measurements made by the sensors 30 to 36 are transmitted in real time to the processing unit 40. This processing unit essentially comprises a central unit 42 built around a microprocessor, a data memory 44, a working memory 46 and a program memory 48.
Les mesures fournies par les capteurs et transmises sous forme numérique (ou éventuellement analogique) en temps réel à l'unité centrale 42 sont mémorisées dans la mémoire de données 44 en étant associées à la profondeur à laquelle ces mesures ont été réalisées. La profondeur est, par exemple, prise en compte pour des pas de 1 cm.The measurements provided by the sensors and transmitted in digital (or possibly analog) form in real time to the central unit 42 are stored in the data memory 44 by being associated with the depth at which these measurements have been made. The depth is, for example, taken into account for steps of 1 cm.
Pour obtenir des mesures significatives des paramètres, pour des pas de profondeur de l'ordre de 1 cm, deux techniques peuvent être utilisées. Lorsque le sol n'est pas trop dur, le pas de profondeur de 1 cm peut être mis en oeuvre en mémorisant les mesures correspondant aux profondeurs successives détectées par le capteur de profondeur 38. Lorsque le terrain est plus dur, le temps mis pour forer 1 cm peut être important. La détermination des profondeurs successives en relation avec les mesures des paramètres est donc aléatoire. Dans ce cas, on peut effectuer des mesures pour des intervalles de temps prédéterminés et affecter à chaque profondeur prédéterminée une valeur moyennée des mesures faites pour les intervalles de temps correspondant à cette profondeur. De toute manière, dans la mémoire 44, on stocke en temps réel des mesures des quatre paramètres associées à une profondeur.To obtain significant measurements of the parameters, for steps of depth of the order of 1 cm, two techniques can be used. When the ground is not too hard, the depth step of 1 cm can be implemented by memorizing the measurements corresponding to the successive depths detected by the depth sensor 38. When the ground is harder, the time taken to drill 1 cm can be important. The determination of successive depths in relation to the measurements of the parameters is therefore random. In this case, it is possible to carry out measurements for predetermined time intervals and to assign to each predetermined depth an average value of the measurements made for the time intervals corresponding to this depth. In any case, in memory 44, measurements of the four parameters associated with a depth are stored in real time.
Sur la figure 4, les courbes 4a à 4d montrent des valeurs de paramètres P, C, Vr et Vp pour différentes profondeurs telles qu'elles sont enregistrées en temps réel.In FIG. 4, curves 4a to 4d show values of parameters P, C, V r and V p for different depths as they are recorded in real time.
Selon l'invention, à partir des mesures des quatre paramètres, on calcule deux variables représentatives de la qualité du sol. Ces variables peuvent être en nombres différents et calculées selon des formules différentes. Dans l'exemple particulier décrit, la première variable CM est la variation du couple moyenné qui représente la valeur moyennée du couple sur une certaine période. On comprend que, plus cette variable CM est faible, plus la force nécessaire pour forer le sol est constante, c'est-à-dire plus le sol aura des propriétés de dureté homogène.According to the invention, from the measurements of the four parameters, two variables representative of the quality of the soil are calculated. These variables can be in different numbers and calculated according to different formulas. In the particular example described, the first variable C M is the variation of the average torque which represents the average value of the couple over a certain period. It is understood that, the lower this variable C M , the more constant the force necessary to drill the soil, that is to say the more the soil will have properties of homogeneous hardness.
La deuxième variable choisie est connue sous le nom de coefficient de Sommerton. Elle est donnée par la formule suivante :
Plus ce coefficient S est élevé, plus le sol est dur.The higher this coefficient S, the harder the soil.
Selon le procédé de l'invention, on détecte, pour les profondeurs successives dans les valeurs des variables CM et S, une succession des valeurs de ces variables correspondant à des qualités de terrain acceptables pour constituer l'ancrage des pieux. Par exemple, pour la variable CM, ce critère sera que ce paramètre soit inférieur à une première valeur prédéterminée V1. En revanche, pour la deuxième variable S, le critère sera que cette variable soit supérieure à une valeur prédéterminée V2.According to the method of the invention, for the successive depths in the values of the variables C M and S, a succession of the values of these variables corresponding to acceptable qualities of ground to constitute the anchoring of the piles is detected. For example, for the variable C M , this criterion will be that this parameter is less than a first predetermined value V 1 . On the other hand, for the second variable S, the criterion will be that this variable is greater than a predetermined value V 2 .
Au fur et à mesure de l'acquisition et du stockage dans la mémoire 44 des valeurs de paramètre, on calcule les variables CM et S pour chaque profondeur. Les sous-programmes nécessaires à ces calculs sont stockés dans la mémoire 48. Ces variables sont calculées dans la mémoire 46 et stockées à nouveau dans la mémoire de données 44. L'unité centrale compare les valeurs des variables CM et S aux valeurs prédéterminées V1 et V2. Si les deux valeurs de variables sont conformes aux critères retenus pour la profondeur considérée, on incrémente un compteur 50 comme cela est représenté sur la figure 3 après l'étape de comparaison 52. En revanche, si l'un des deux critères retenus n'est pas respecté à l'étape 52, le compteur 50 est remis à zéro par 54.As the acquisition and storage of the parameter values in the memory 44, the variables C M and S are calculated for each depth. The subroutines necessary for these calculations are stored in the memory 48. These variables are calculated in the memory 46 and stored again in the data memory 44. The central unit compares the values of the variables C M and S with the predetermined values V 1 and V 2 . If the two values of variables conform to the criteria retained for the depth considered, a counter 50 is incremented as shown in FIG. 3 after the comparison step 52. On the other hand, if one of the two criteria retained does not is not respected in step 52, the counter 50 is reset to zero by 54.
Pour considérer que le fond du forage correspond aux conditions requises, on détermine à l'avance une profondeur d'ancrage dans un terrain dur qui dépend le plus souvent du diamètre du forage lui-même. Cette profondeur d'ancrage L figurée sur la figure 4 peut donc se convertir en un certain nombre de pas de profondeur unitaire. Lorsque le compteur 50 est incrémenté à une valeur correspondant au nombre N de pas de profondeur associé à la différence de profondeur L, ce qui est détecté à l'étape 56, le fond du forage effectivement réalisé pénètre de la profondeur L requise dans un sol dur. On peut alors procéder à l'arrêt de la machine de forage puisque les conditions d'ancrage requises sont atteintes.To consider that the bottom of the borehole corresponds to the required conditions, an anchoring depth in hard ground is determined in advance, which most often depends on the diameter of the borehole itself. This anchoring depth L shown in Figure 4 can therefore be converted into a number of unit depth steps. When the counter 50 is incremented to a value corresponding to the number N of depth steps associated with the difference in depth L, which is detected in step 56, the bottom of the drilling actually carried out penetrates the required depth L into a soil hard. The drilling machine can then be stopped since the required anchoring conditions are met.
On procède alors à l'introduction du béton ou du coulis dans le forage qui vient d'être réalisé pour obtenir le pieu foré.We then proceed to the introduction of concrete or grout into the borehole which has just been carried out to obtain the bored pile.
On comprend que, lors de la réalisation de chaque pieu moulé par la technique décrite précédemment, il est possible de garder les enregistrements du type de ceux représentés sur la figure 4 réalisés pour les quatre paramètres P, C, Vr et Vp et pour les valeurs de variables CM et S. Le maître d'ouvrage pourra ainsi prouver que le pieu moulé a été effectivement réalisé dans les conditions prévues par le cahier des charges.It is understood that, during the production of each pile molded by the technique described above, it is possible to keep the records of the type of those represented in FIG. 4 produced for the four parameters P, C, V r and V p and for the values of variables C M and S. The contracting authority will thus be able to prove that the molded pile was actually produced under the conditions provided for in the specifications.
