Description

  The present invention relates to a ground improvement construction machine and a ground improvement construction method for solidifying a shallow ground layer to a middle layer portion of a soft ground on the ground surface.

In the conventional method of mixing and agitating cement-based solidified material, etc., on soft ground, if the method is classified according to the target depth to be treated with the solidified material, the shallow mixed processing method and the deep mixed processing method (including high pressure injection system) It was roughly divided into.
The processing depth that divides the two methods is about 2 to 3 m from the ground surface for the shallow mixing method, and the deeper processing method is for the deep mixing method.

  The shallow layer mixing method includes a method of mixing and stirring with a backhoe, which is a general-purpose machine, and a method of mixing and stirring by using a backhoe or a mud truck as a base machine and attaching an agitating attachment to its arm. In the method of mixing and stirring with a backhoe, the improved depth is about 1 to 2 m, and in the method of mixing and stirring with a stirring attachment, the improved depth is about 2 to 3 m.

A rotary construction method is known as a method of mixing and stirring with the stirring attachment.
This construction method is mainly composed of ultra-soft clay or sludge with high water content as the target ground. The base machine is a mud car for super wetlands. A rotary stirring attachment is attached to the tip of the arm, and the solidified material slurry supplied from the slurry plant is discharged from the rotary stirring blade, while rotating the stirring blade. This is a method of mechanically mixing and stirring the solidified material slurry and the target soil by penetrating and drawing. In the case of this construction method, the depth to be improved is about 2.0 m. (For example, refer nonpatent literature 1.)

In the rotary construction method, the soil to be improved is mainly ultra-soft viscous soil such as sludge, the shear strength of the ground to be improved is about 20 to 30 kN / m ² or less, and When the rotational torque is small, the depth of improvement is increased and the penetration resistance is increased, the penetration ability and mixing and stirring ability are remarkably lowered.
Therefore, it has been desired to develop a ground improvement method for both the shallow and middle layers that can maintain the penetration and mixing ability even if the depth of improvement is large and the shear strength of the target ground is somewhat large.

In the present invention, a ground improvement construction machine and a ground improvement method capable of ensuring improved quality are provided for the purpose of improving soft ground when shear strength is high to some extent in both shallow and middle layers (about 50-60 kN / m ² ). With the goal.
In addition, the conventional shallow and middle ground improvement methods have been mixed and stirred over the entire ground area to be improved, so that the so-called planar improvement rate can only be realized with 100% improvement specifications. It is an object of the present invention to provide a ground improvement construction machine and a ground improvement construction method for creating an improved pillar body composed of a rectangular pillar body having a rectangular planar shape whose rate can be arbitrarily set.

  In addition, depending on the soil to be improved, the ground improvement construction method can prevent the occurrence of co-rotation phenomenon due to the excavation soil adhering to the stirring claws and blades during mixing and stirring, and can cope with the increase in the depth of the improvement work. The purpose is to provide.

  The ground improvement construction machine of the present invention is a ground improvement construction machine in which an agitation attachment is attached to the tip of an arm of a base machine, and agitation and mixing is performed with the agitation attachment. The solidifying material slurry discharge port is provided at the upper and lower portions of the rotating stirring blade of the stirring device that is detachably coupled and the stirring blade rotates in the vertical direction, and the air discharge port is provided near the lower solidifying material slurry discharge port, A slurry discharge port switching device is provided so that the solidified material slurry and compressed air are discharged from the lower slurry discharge port and the air discharge port when the agitation attachment penetrates, and the solidified material slurry is discharged from the upper slurry discharge port at the time of pulling, and solidification is performed. The discharge pressure of the material slurry is set to 0.5-5 MPa, and the stirring provided at the end of the rotating stirring blade of the stirring attachment On the trajectory due to rotation, the stirring claw is arranged so that the trajectory of at least one stirring claw does not overlap the trajectory of another stirring claw during one rotation of the rotary stirring blade, and the rotary stirring having the stirring claw The target soil and the solidifying material slurry are mixed and stirred by the blades, and the ground improvement construction machine is constructed in which the improved planar shape is rectangular in the ground.

  Moreover, it is that it was set as the ground improvement construction method which produces the improvement pillar body whose improvement plane shape is a rectangle in the improvement planned ground using the said ground improvement construction machine.

  Further, in the ground improvement construction machine according to the soil, etc., the ground improvement construction machine in which one or a plurality of non-rotating co-rotation preventing members are provided radially outside the rotating blades of the stirring device that rotates in the vertical direction of the stirring attachment. It is that.

  Further, the stirring claw attached to the tip of the rotating blade of the stirring device constituting the stirring attachment of the ground improvement construction machine is at least during one rotation of the rotating stirring blade on the locus of rotation by the position of each stirring claw. Since the stirring claw is arranged so that the trajectory of one stirring claw does not overlap the trajectory of another stirring claw, the subdivision and mixing accuracy of the mixed soil are improved.

  Furthermore, since the planar projection shape of the stirring unit of the stirring attachment is rectangular, the improved planar shape can be a rectangular prism, and the planar improvement rate can be arbitrarily set to 30%, 50%, 70%, etc. Even when the improvement rate is set to 100%, for example, there is no overlap of improvement regions compared to a circular improvement column and the like, and economical ground improvement is possible.

The component of the ground improvement construction machine of this invention is demonstrated.
First, various lengths of mounting frames for forming the stirring attachment are prepared, and by attaching and detaching them to the arm, it is possible to solidify from a shallow layer to a middle layer region having an improved depth of about 10 m.

  In addition, when the slurry discharge port is inserted so that the solidification slurry slurry is discharged from the lower slurry discharge port when penetrating the stirring attachment provided with the solidification slurry discharge port at the upper and lower parts of the rotary stirring blade. By switching at the time of extraction, the rotating stirring blades pass through the place where the slurry is discharged into the target ground at the time of penetration and at the time of extraction, so that the mixing accuracy is ensured.

  In addition, by setting the discharge pressure of the solidifying material slurry to 0.5 to 5 MPa, the slurry is surely mixed even if the depth to be improved is large, and there is an effect that the soil to be improved is loosened by the discharge pressure.

In addition, an air discharge port is provided near the lower slurry discharge port, and compressed air is discharged from the lower end of the attachment when penetrating, so that the penetration resistance can be reduced, and the ground (50 The penetrating input increased even at about 60 kN / m ² ), and the depth to be improved was made possible up to 10 m.

  Further, the position of the stirring claw at the tip of the stirring blade provided in the stirring attachment is on the locus by rotation so that the locus of at least one stirring claw does not overlap the locus of other stirring claws during one rotation of the rotating stirring blade. By arranging the stirring claws, the soil to be improved is subdivided and contributes to the improvement of the mixing accuracy.

  In addition, depending on the improved soil quality, one or more non-rotating co-rotating members are provided radially outside the rotating stirring blade of the stirring device that rotates in the vertical direction of the stirring attachment, and the soil to be improved is sheared during mixing and stirring. Thus, the mixing accuracy can be further improved.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to solidify the entire improved range with high mixing accuracy even if the ground has a greater shear strength than the conventional soft ground and the depth of improvement is large.
In addition to improving the subdivision and mixing accuracy of the mixed soil, the improved planar shape is formed into a rectangular prism, so the improvement rate can be set appropriately and improved, and when the improvement rate is planned to be 100% However, by making the improved planar shape a rectangular improved body, the improved planar shape can be economically improved without overlapping the improved regions such as a circular shape.

Further, upper and lower solidified material slurry discharge ports 8a and 8b and an air discharge port 9 are provided at the tip of the stirring device.
Solidified material slurry discharged from the upper and lower slurry discharge ports 8a and 8b passes through a slurry hose 15 via a switching device 5 via a base machine 1 from a grout pump provided in a solidified material plant (not shown). Then, the pipes 6a and 6b are sent along the stirring attachment 2 and sent to the upper slurry discharge port 8a and the lower slurry discharge port 8b so that they can be switched.
This switching is performed by a base machine operator using a switching device such as a three-way cock or a three-way electric ball valve with an actuator.

Air is piped from a compressor (not shown) via a base machine 1 into a stirring attachment 2 by an air hose and connected to an air discharge port.
This air is discharged when the agitation attachment 2 penetrates into the ground, reducing the penetration resistance and contributing to the improvement of the penetration force. During mixing and agitation, the slurry is ejected uniformly and over a wide area and mixed with soil. It also contributes to the improvement of agitation.

  From the upper and lower solidifying material slurry discharge ports 8a and 8b, the amount of slurry satisfying the required amount of solidifying material added is discharged at a discharge pressure of about 0.5 to 5 MPa.

The non-rotating co-rotation preventing member 16 located outside the rotating agitating blade 11 can have any rigidity sufficient for construction such as earth pressure rotating by mixing such as rod, plate, or tube, impact during penetration, etc. Such a form may be sufficient.

Since the non-corotation prevention member 16 is connected to the rotary shaft 10 in a non-rotation state, the non-corotation prevention member 16 is drawn in and inserted into the soil in an upward state when penetrating, and the non-rotation co-rotation prevention member surrounding the non-rotation co-rotation prevention member is inserted. Almost stationary due to earth pressure, the earth block is sheared between the rotating stirring blades 11. At the time of pulling out the stirring device 4 after mixing and stirring, the direction is changed downward so that the stirring device 4 is pulled out as a part of the stirring device 4.

[Experimental example]

Using the ground improvement device of the present invention, the ground improvement work was tested. The ground conditions are viscous soil mixed with humus soil, N value is 0 to 1, and adhesive strength is C = 40 kN / m ² . The improvement depth was 6.0 m. The solidifying material specifications were as follows: Cement-based solidifying material Geoset 20 (manufactured by Taiheiyo Cement Co., Ltd.) Water-solidifying material ratio (W / C) = 1.0, addition amount 150 kg / m ³ . The construction specifications are penetration / drawing speed 0.8m / min, and slurry discharge rate is 167 liters / min during penetration and withdrawal, respectively, and solidified material slurry is drawn from the lower slurry discharge port during penetration and from the upper slurry discharge port during withdrawal.

On the other hand, the test results without the non-rotating co-rotation preventing member show that the average uniaxial compressive strength (q _u ) is 725 kN / m. ² Coefficient of variation (CV) was 0.44.
According to the above test construction results, the average uniaxial compressive strength is 8% with the non-rotating co-rotation prevention member but without the non-rotating co-rotation prevention member, although the solidification material addition amount and the addition specification (stirring specification) are the same. The variation coefficient is about 30% smaller.
