Description

  The present invention relates to an underground buried pile removing method and an underground buried pile removing device for removing a columnar improved pile not including a streak or a wire buried in the ground.

  When a building such as a house is constructed, if it is found that the strength of the ground is insufficient, ground improvement work for stabilizing the ground may be performed. For example, ground improvement work called “columnar improvement method” is known. In the columnar improvement method, the ground is excavated and cement slurry is injected, and in that state, stirring is performed to mix the cement slurry and the soil contained in the ground, and the mixture is solidified to form columnar piles in the ground. It is a construction method. This pile is called a columnar improved pile and functions to stabilize buildings built on soft ground. The columnar improvement method is effective when a soft layer continues from the ground surface, and can be constructed using relatively small machines. It has increased.

  When the deep part of the ground is soft, ground improvement work called “slurry mechanical stirring type deep mixing method” is performed. The slurry-based mechanical agitation type deep mixing treatment method performs cement slurry injection and agitation with a stirrer while excavating the ground, and when excavation reaches a predetermined depth, the agitator is repeatedly moved up and down to This is a type of columnar improvement method that improves the mixability of cement slurry and soil. In the slurry-based mechanical agitation type deep mixing method, a high-quality columnar improved pile can be formed by managing the agitation speed of the agitator and the vertical movement speed (excavation speed and lifting speed).

  Thus, the columnar improvement pile formed in the ground by the columnar improvement method is basically a solid columnar body composed of a mixture of cement slurry and soil, such as steel frames and piano wires. It becomes a simple structure mainly composed of concrete that does not contain wire rods.

  By the way, when selling the land, it may be required to dismantle the building built on the land and level the land. However, in the land where the ground improvement work as described above has been performed, the columnar improvement pile remains in the ground, so it is not sufficient to leave the ground surface alone, and the columnar improvement pile must be removed. Land value may be low. Therefore, when piles or the like are buried in the ground, it is desired to restore the land to the original state by completely removing them.

  As a technique for removing a pile buried in the ground, for example, there is a construction method that makes it easy to pull out the pile by giving vibration to the pile and reducing friction with the surrounding ground (see, for example, Patent Document 1). . According to Patent Document 1, a vibration pile driving machine equipped with a chuck device is used to pull out an existing pile that has been pierced into the ground. In this construction method, the vibration pile driving machine is penetrated to a predetermined position on the ground with the existing pile positioned at the center of the chuck device, and the vibration pile driving machine is raised with the existing hole held by the chuck device. As a result, the existing pile is removed from the ground.

  Another technique for removing piles buried in the ground is to use groundwater existing on the ground where the piles are buried, and pull the piles in a state where the strata where the piles are placed is loosened. (For example, see Patent Document 2). According to Patent Document 2, a boiling phenomenon is induced at the lower end of the existing pile by excavating a filler such as earth and sand packed in the existing pile to the lower end of the existing pile and discharging the earth and sand together with the groundwater. As a result, looseness occurs in the ground supporting the existing pile, and when the existing pile is once penetrated downward in this state and then lifted upward, the existing pile is removed from the ground.

  As another technique for removing a pile buried in the ground, there has been a method of repeatedly discharging the pile to the ground in a finely cut state (see, for example, Patent Document 3). According to Patent Literature 3, a cutting means for excavating the vicinity of the axis of an existing pile to form a through hole, laying a guide rail inside the through hole, and cutting the existing pile on the guide rail, and A discharge means for transporting the cut piece to the ground is driven. The existing pile is sequentially removed from the ground by repeated cutting by the cutting means and conveyance of the cut pieces by the discharging means.

  The techniques described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 described above are construction methods for existing piles that are often used in relatively large-scale buildings such as factories and buildings. In recent years, construction results have increased. It is not supposed to be a column-like improved pile used in ground improvement works for ordinary houses. For this reason, if the removal method of the existing pile of patent documents 1-3 is diverted to removal of a columnar improvement pile as it is, it will be expected that various problems will occur.

  The construction method of Patent Document 1 uses a vibration pile driver to remove the existing piles, but the columnar improved piles used for ordinary houses and the like do not contain any streaks or wire rods, so they are compared with existing piles. It is brittle and easy to break. For this reason, if vibration is applied to the columnar improved pile using a vibration pile driver, the columnar improved pile may break in the ground and cannot be lifted to the ground. In addition, since the vibration pile driver has a large-scale device configuration, it is expected that it is often difficult to carry in the device and equipment itself in a general Japanese residential area.

  Although the construction method of Patent Document 2 does not have a very large device configuration, a large amount of groundwater is ejected to the ground surface together with earth and sand, so that muddy water treatment is required after the pile is lifted. In addition, since it can only be carried out in the ground where groundwater exists, there are only a limited number of cases that can be applied in general Japanese residential areas.

  The construction method of Patent Document 3 is intended for piles having a large diameter because a structure such as a guide rail is installed inside a through hole formed in an existing pile. Since columnar improved piles used for ordinary houses are usually smaller in diameter than existing piles, it is difficult to apply the same construction method. In addition, since the apparatus configuration is complicated, there is a problem that a great deal of cost is required for construction.

  As described above, various technologies for removing existing piles buried in the ground are known, but the history of columnar improved piles is compared for the technology for removing pillar-like improved piles buried in the ground. As it is shallow, effective methods have not been developed yet.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and in particular, is intended for column-like improved piles that do not include streaks or wire rods that have come to be used in ordinary houses in recent years, and are buried in the ground. The purpose is to establish a technique for removing the improved columnar piles at low cost and with certainty.

The characteristic configuration of the underground buried pile removing method according to the present invention for solving the above problems is as follows.
An underground buried pile removing method for removing a columnar improved pile not including a streak or a wire embedded in the ground using a screw equipped with a crushing bit,
The screw is accommodated in a cylindrical casing so as to be vertically movable and rotatable,
A positioning step of setting the screw at an upper position of the columnar improved pile;
Excavation step of excavating the ground while crushing the columnar improved pile with the crushing bit by lowering with the casing while rotating the screw,
A discharge step of discharging the crushed material of the columnar improved pile existing in the ground from the upper part of the casing by injecting compressed air from the proximal end side of the screw and injecting it from the distal end side;
It is to include.

As mentioned above, columnar improvement piles constructed for ground improvement work for ordinary houses are a relatively new technology, so there are not many cases of dismantling buildings and leveling land where columnar improvement piles are buried. Not many. Therefore, the removal technique of the columnar improved pile buried in the ground is a technique that will be studied in earnest, and a new technological development different from the existing pile removal method is desired.
Therefore, the present inventors paid attention to the property that the columnar improved pile not including the streak or the wire is brittle and easy to break compared to the conventional known piles, and as a result of earnest research, the columnar improved pile was targeted. A new removal method was developed.
According to the underground pile removal method of this configuration, the columnar improved pile buried in the ground is crushed with the crushing bit attached to the screw, then injected from the proximal end side of the screw, and from the distal end side. By the force of the compressed air injected, it is discharged to the ground from the upper part of the casing that houses the screw. That is, the pulling-out work of the pile which was necessary when removing the existing pile is unnecessary in the present invention. The present invention has been made on the basis of a completely new technical idea that it is easy to remove from the ground by daringly crushing it in the ground instead of forcibly pulling out the columnar improved pile that is brittle and easily crushed. Since the fragments of the crushed columnar improved piles are light because they do not contain any streaks or wires, they can be discharged to the ground by the force of compressed air. Moreover, since compressed air is used for conveyance of crushed material, the excavation site is not muddy with water or contaminated with chemicals. Therefore, in restoring the land, damage and contamination of the ground can be minimized.

In the underground pile removal method of the present invention,
With the casing remaining in the ground, a drawing step of pulling out the screw from the casing;
A filling step of filling the inside of the casing from which the screw has been pulled, and
A lifting step of lifting the casing to the ground with the soil remaining in the ground;
It is preferable to further include.

  According to the underground pile removal method of this configuration, when the broken pieces of columnar improved piles are transported (removed) to the ground by compressed air, the inside of the casing becomes hollow, so the screw is pulled out to remove the soil inside the casing. The hole formed by excavation can be filled with soil simply by filling and then lifting the casing to the ground. As a result, the land can be almost restored to the original state, and the leveling is completed.

In the underground pile removal method of the present invention,
In the positioning step, the casing is preferably arranged so as to surround the columnar improved pile in a top view.

  According to the underground pile removal method of this configuration, before excavating the underground while crushing the columnar improved pile, the casing is arranged so as to surround the columnar improved pile to be crushed in top view. The crushed material of the improved pile can be reliably accommodated in the casing. As a result, it is possible to remove almost all of the pillar-like improved piles, and it is possible to finish the land with a high evaluation value from which buried foreign objects are eliminated.

In the underground pile removal method of the present invention,
In the excavation step, it is preferable that the crushing bit is rotated at a position lower than the lower end of the casing with a rotation diameter larger than the diameter of the casing.

  According to the underground pile removal method of this configuration, since the crushing range by the crushing bit surely includes the diameter of the casing, the casing can be smoothly lowered when excavating the ground, and as a result, The crushed material can be reliably stored. Also, when crushing the columnar improved pile, for example, even if the columnar improved pile is slightly inclined and tends to come off the casing frame, it can be reliably crushed with the crushing bit, so without interrupting the excavation work, Continuous operation is possible.

In the underground pile removal method of the present invention,
In the discharging step, the amount of compressed air injected is preferably adjusted according to the amount of crushed material from the columnar improved pile.

  According to the underground pile removal method of this configuration, the removal work of the columnar improved pile can be continuously performed while observing the balance between the injected amount of compressed air and the discharge amount of the crushed material of the columnar improved pile. .

In the underground pile removal method of the present invention,
It is preferable to synchronize the excavation process and the discharge process.

  According to the underground pile removal method of this configuration, by synchronizing the excavation process and the discharge process, the crushed material of the columnar improved pile is excessively retained in the ground, or the crushed material of the columnar improved pile is placed on the ground. Without being discharged at once, the removal work of the columnar improved pile can be performed continuously in a stable and steady state.

In the underground pile removal method of the present invention,
Preferably, the excavation process and the discharge process are alternately repeated.

  According to the underground buried pile removing method of this configuration, each operation can be performed independently by alternately repeating the excavation process and the discharge process. Therefore, even one operator can proceed with the removal work of the columnar improved piles with a margin.

The characteristic configuration of the underground buried pile removing apparatus according to the present invention for solving the above problems is as follows.
An underground pile removal device that removes columnar improved piles that do not include any streaks or wires buried in the ground,
A screw fitted with a crushing bit;
A cylindrical casing that accommodates the screw so as to be vertically movable and rotatable;
Positioning means for setting the screw at an upper position of the columnar improved pile;
A compressed air source connected to the proximal end side of the screw and for injecting compressed air from the distal end side of the screw;
A discharge means for discharging the crushed material of the columnar improved pile mounted on the casing and crushed by the crushing bit;
It is in having.

According to the underground buried pile removing apparatus of this configuration, the same excellent effect as the above-described underground buried pile removing method of the present invention is exhibited.
That is, in the present invention, a pile pulling operation which is necessary when removing an existing pile is not required, and a columnar improved pile that is brittle and easily broken can be easily removed from the ground. In addition, because compressed air is used to transport crushed materials, the excavation site will not be muddy with water or contaminated with chemicals, and ground damage and contamination will be minimized in order to restore the land. can do.

In the underground pile removal apparatus of the present invention,
Moving means for moving the screw relative to the casing;
Filling means for filling the inside of the casing with soil;
A lifting means for lifting the casing;
It is preferable to further comprise.

According to the underground buried pile removing apparatus of this configuration, the same excellent effect as the above-described underground buried pile removing method of the present invention is exhibited.
In other words, in the present invention, the land formed by excavation is filled with soil, so that the land can be restored almost to its original state.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory view schematically showing the configuration of the underground buried pile removing apparatus of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a process explanatory view showing a procedure for carrying out the underground buried pile removing method of the present invention. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an appropriate positional relationship between the auger and the columnar improved pile in carrying out the underground pile removal method.

  Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. However, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the configurations described in the embodiments and drawings described below.

(Columnar improved pile)
First, the columnar improved pile which is a construction target in the underground buried pile removing method and the underground buried pile removing apparatus of the present invention will be described. As described above, the columnar improved pile is a solid that does not include the streaks and wires formed in the ground when performing ground improvement work such as the columnar improvement method and slurry-based mechanical stirring type deep mixing treatment method. It is a columnar body. The component of the columnar improved pile is mainly a mixture of cement and soil. In performing ground improvement work, first, cement slurry is prepared. The blending of the cement slurry is adjusted to a water / cement ratio (weight ratio) of 50/50 to 90/10, preferably 60/40 to 80/20, and more preferably 70/30. The soil mixed with the cement slurry is usually soil (that is, excavated soil) existing on the ground where the ground improvement work is performed. The mixing ratio of cement slurry and soil is based on the condition of the ground to be constructed (excavated soil type, grain size, hardness, viscosity, moisture content, etc.). It is adjusted to satisfy the vertical bearing force.

  Since the columnar improved pile is formed inside the excavation hole of the ground, it is usually a columnar shape. The size of the columnar improved pile depends on the size of the excavation hole, that is, the excavation conditions. The size of the columnar improved pile is usually set to a diameter of 400 to 1000 mm, preferably 500 to 800 mm, more preferably 500 to 600 mm, and a height of 1 to 10 m. Moreover, in the case of ground improvement work in a general residential area, about 10 to 80 columnar improvement piles are formed in the ground below the foundation of the house in one work.

Columnar improved piles are required to meet certain standards from the viewpoint of safety and the like. For example, the allowable vertical bearing strength is defined as an index of improved ground on which columnar improved piles are constructed. The allowable vertical bearing capacity is a numerical value obtained by dividing the vertical ultimate bearing capacity when the ground undergoes shear failure by a predetermined safety factor. From the long-term viewpoint, it is considered that the allowable vertical bearing force of the improved ground is desirably 20 kN / m ² or more. In addition, the strength of the columnar improved pile itself is desirably 600 kN / m ² or more in a uniaxial compression test.

[Underground pile removal equipment]
When it becomes necessary to remove the columnar improvement pile formed by the ground improvement work, the underground buried pile removal device is used. In the present invention, a construction heavy machine having an excavating function is used for an underground buried pile removing device. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view schematically showing the configuration of the underground buried pile removing apparatus 100 of the present invention. The underground buried pile removing apparatus 100 includes an auger 10, a vehicle 20, and a compressor 30.

  The auger 10 includes a screw 11 that excavates the ground G while rotating, and a casing 12 that houses the screw 11. Since the auger 10 is made of metal, the internal screw 11 cannot normally be seen from the outside of the casing 12, but in FIG. 1, the inside of the casing 12 is shown to be transparent for ease of explanation. Here, in the screw 11, the side (lower side) where the ground G is excavated is defined as the distal end side 11A, and the opposite upper side is defined as the proximal end side 11B. The screw 11 includes a screw rod 11a extending along the rotation axis X and a rotary blade 11b formed in a spiral shape around the screw rod 11a. A hollow portion 11c is formed along the rotation axis X inside the screw rod 11a. Therefore, the screw 11 has a tubular structure that extends from the proximal end side 11B to the distal end side 11A through the hollow portion 11c in the screw rod 11a along the direction of the rotation axis X. The screw 11 is provided with a crushing bit 13 for crushing the columnar improved pile P on the distal end side 11A, and an auger hollow chuck portion 14 is provided near the proximal end side 11B. When the auger 10 is driven and the screw 11 is rotated, excavation of the ground G by the crushing bit 13 and the rotary blade 11b proceeds, and when the columnar improved pile P exists in the traveling direction (excavation direction) of the screw 11, the crushing bit 13 It is crushed by. While the auger 10 is driven, the hollow portion 11 c in the screw rod 11 a is maintained at a high pressure by the compressed air supplied from the compressor 30. For this reason, the screw 11 is not blocked by the excavated soil of the ground G or the crushed material of the columnar improved pile P, and the excavation work can be continued.

  The casing 12 is a cylindrical member having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the screw 11 and is originally intended to prevent the ground G during the excavation from collapsing. It also plays a role in preventing scattering. The screw 11 accommodated in the casing 12 can be replaced according to the columnar improved pile P to be removed. Therefore, screws 11 of various sizes are prepared. When targeting a typical columnar improved pile for general housing, the size of the screw 11 is set to an outer diameter of 400 to 1000 mm and a length of 1000 to 10,000 mm. The casing 12 is set so that the screw 11 accommodated therein does not interfere. For example, when the screw 11 having the above-described size is accommodated, the inner diameter is set to about 405 to 1050 mm and the length is set to about 1000 to 10000 mm. Thus, the size (inner diameter) of the casing 12 is preferably configured to be about 1 to 5% larger than the size (outer diameter) of the screw 11. In addition, when the thing of longer size is required as the screw 11 and the casing 12, it is also possible to prepare a plurality of existing screws 11 and the casing 12, and to use them by vertically connecting them. The screw 11 can move up and down and rotate relative to the casing 12 while being housed in the casing 12. A discharge part 15 for discharging the crushed material of the columnar improved pile P crushed by the crushing bit 13 to the ground is mounted on the upper part of the casing 12. The discharge unit 15 is configured to be detachable from the casing 12 by a fastening member such as a bolt. The discharge part 15 has the pipe body 15a covered on the casing 12, and the opening part 15b from which the crushed material of the columnar improvement pile P is discharged | emitted. A cap that seals the periphery of the screw rod 11 a can be provided at the upper end of the tube body 15 a so that the crushed material of the columnar improved pile P pushed up from the casing 12 to the discharge portion 15 does not jump upward. . The opening 15 b is opened toward the side so that the crushed material of the columnar improved pile P pushed up from the casing 12 to the discharge unit 15 does not return to the inside of the casing 12. The process of discharging the crushed material of the columnar improved piles P will be described in detail in the “Method of removing underground buried piles” described later.

  The vehicle 20 is a heavy machine that moves the auger 10 to an excavation point while supporting the auger 10 in a state where the auger 10 stands in a vertical direction with respect to the ground G. That is, the vehicle 20 serves as positioning means for setting the auger 10 at a position above the point where the columnar improved pile P is embedded. The raising / lowering operation (up-and-down movement) of the auger 10 is performed by an elevator 21 provided in the vehicle 20. The elevator 21 is provided with a gripping arm 22 called “Dako-chan”. In FIG. 1, the vicinity of the auger hollow chuck portion 14 of the auger 10 is gripped by the gripping arm 22. The elevator 21 moves the auger 10 up and down. When the elevator 21 is raised with the screw 11 in a free state (a state in which the screw 11 can be completely moved relative to the casing 12), the lifting arm 21 is moved to the gripping arm 22. The gripped auger hollow chuck portion 14 moves upward so that the screw 11 can be pulled out of the casing 12. Thus, the elevator 21 serves as a moving means for moving the screw 11 relative to the casing 12. Further, the grip arm 22 of the elevator 21 can also grip the side surface of the casing 12. In this case, when the elevator 21 is raised, only the casing 12 can be moved upward. Therefore, the elevator 21 also has a function as a lifting means for lifting the casing 12.

The underground buried pile removing apparatus 100 of the present invention conveys the crushed material of the columnar improved pile P to the ground by the force of compressed air. Therefore, the compressor 30 is provided as a compressed air source. The compressor 30 is connected to the proximal end side 11 </ b> B of the screw 11 so as to supply compressed air to the distal end of the crushing bit 13. The compressed air injected into the base end side 11B of the screw 11 passes through the hollow portion 11c in the screw rod 11a, and is jetted around the crushing bit 13 from the tip end side 11A of the screw 11. Thereby, the underground is in a high pressure state, and the crushed material of the columnar improved pile P is conveyed upward through the inside of the casing 12. And the crushed material of the columnar improvement pile P is discharged | emitted from the discharge part 15 provided in the upper part of the casing 12 to the ground. The compressed air discharged from the compressor 30 is adjusted to an appropriate air pressure and discharge amount by controlling the output of the compressor 30 and adjusting the valve 31 of the compressor 30. In order to smoothly convey and discharge the crushed material of the columnar improved pile P, it is preferable to maintain the compressed air discharged from the compressor 30 at an air pressure of 0.6 MPa or more and a discharge amount of 5 m ³ / min or more. In addition, it is also possible to use a high-pressure air cylinder (not shown) instead of the compressor 30 as a compressed air source, and to convey and discharge the crushed material of the columnar improved pile P by compressed air injected from the air cylinder. is there.

[Underground pile removal method]
FIG. 2 is a process explanatory view showing a procedure for carrying out the underground buried pile removing method of the present invention. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an appropriate positional relationship between the auger 10 and the columnar improved pile P in carrying out the underground buried pile removing method. Here, FIG. 3 is a view of the auger 10 from the ground surface side. In order to make the positional relationship with the columnar improved pile P easy to understand, the outline of the columnar improved pile P buried in the ground is indicated by a broken line. It is shown by. 2 and 3, the description of the vehicle 20 shown in FIG. 1 is omitted for simplification of description.

  In the underground buried pile removing method of the present invention, the (a) positioning step, (b) excavation step, and (c) discharge step shown in FIG. 2 are performed, and (d) the drawing step and (e) the filling step. And (f) a lifting step is performed. As a result, the leveling work is completed as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, each process of the underground buried pile removing method will be described in detail.

  In the positioning step of FIG. 2A, the screw 11 is set above the columnar improved pile P. About the position of the columnar improvement pile P in the ground, it is preferable to accurately grasp beforehand from a preliminary survey, a design drawing of the building, or the like. Next, the vehicle 20 is steered and moved to the excavation point of the ground G, and the auger 10 attached to the vehicle 20 is accurately arranged above the columnar improved pile P to be removed. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the rotation axis X of the screw rod 11 a of the screw 11 is aligned with the center of the columnar improved pile P. At this time, it is preferable that the casing 12 accommodating the screw 11 is disposed so as to surround the columnar improved pile P in a top view. As shown in FIG. 3, when the auger 10 is set so that the casing 12 completely surrounds the columnar improved pile P to be crushed and the ground G is excavated in this state, the crushed material of the columnar improved pile P is surely casing. 12 is housed inside. Therefore, the columnar improved pile P can be recovered almost entirely in a crushed state.

  In the excavation process of FIG. 2B, the auger 10 is driven to rotate the screw 11. When the elevator 21 holding the auger 10 is lowered in this state, the screw 11 is lowered together with the casing 12, and the crushing bit 13 mounted on the distal end side 11 </ b> A of the screw 11 comes into contact with the ground surface and the ground G Drilling begins. When the elevator 21 continues to descend as it is, the crushing bit 13 is in a position below the lower end of the casing 12, so that the crushing bit 13 reaches the burying position of the columnar improved pile P before the casing 12. And the columnar improvement pile P is crushed finely with the crushing bit 13, and turns into the crushed material p. The crushed material p generated in the ground is accommodated in the inside (inside) of the casing 12 that has descended following the crushing bit 13. In the excavation process, it is preferable that the rotation diameter of the crushing bit 13 is larger than the diameter of the casing 12. In this case, since the crushing range by the crushing bit 13 surely includes the diameter of the casing 12, the casing 12 can be smoothly lowered during excavation of the ground G, and as a result, the crushed material p is surely put inside the casing 12. Can be accommodated. Further, when crushing the columnar improved pile P, for example, even if the columnar improved pile P is slightly inclined and may come off the frame of the casing 12, the crushing bit 13 reliably crushes the columnar improved pile P. Therefore, continuous operation is possible without interrupting excavation work. As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation diameter of the crushing bit 13 is automatically increased only by rotating the screw 11 because the crushing bit 13 is pivotally supported by a pivot 13 a with respect to the screw 11. It can be carried out. That is, when the screw 11 is rotated in the positive direction (excavation direction) that is the direction of the white arrow, the crushing bit 13 receives the resistance of the excavated soil and rotates about the pivot 13a, so that the tip is out of the frame of the casing 12. Projecting to the open state indicated by the solid line. Thereby, the rotation diameter of the crushing bit 13 is expanded. On the other hand, when the screw 11 is rotated in the reverse direction, the crushing bit 13 is pushed inward and rotated so as to retract into the frame of the casing 12, thereby the crushing bit 13 is in a closed state indicated by a broken line. As a result, the rotation diameter is reduced.

  In the discharging process of FIG. 2C, the compressor 30 is driven and compressed air is supplied to the screw 11. The compressed air injected into the base end side 11B of the screw 11 passes through the hollow portion 11c in the screw rod 11a and is jetted around the crushing bit 13 from the tip end side 11A of the screw 11. Thereby, since the underground is in a high-pressure state, the crushed material p of the columnar improved pile P existing in the ground is pushed upward through the space between the screw 11 and the inner wall of the casing 12, and It discharges | emits on the ground from the opening part 15b of the discharge part 15 provided in the upper part. The injection amount of the compressed air from the compressor 30 to the screw 11 is appropriately adjusted according to the discharge amount of the crushed material p of the columnar improved pile P. By balancing the amount of compressed air injected and the amount of crushed material p discharged from the columnar improved pile P, the columnar improved pile P can be removed continuously.

  The excavation process in FIG. 2B and the discharge process in FIG. 3C are actually performed in parallel or alternately. When performing an excavation process and a discharge process in parallel, it is preferable to synchronize both processes. In this case, both steps can be synchronized by driving the auger 10 to rotate the screw 11 and simultaneously injecting compressed air from the compressor 30 to the screw 11. When the excavation process and the discharge process are synchronized, the crushed material p of the columnar improved pile P is not excessively retained in the ground, or the crushed material p of the columnar improved pile P is discharged to the ground at once. It becomes possible to continuously remove the columnar improved piles P in a steady state. When excavation process and discharge process are performed alternately, each work will be performed independently, so even one operator can proceed with the removal work of the columnar improved pile P with a margin, By repeatedly performing the excavation process and the discharge process alternately, the columnar improved pile P can be finally removed completely. Thus, the columnar improved pile P buried in the ground is removed by performing the (a) positioning step, (b) excavation step, and (c) discharge step. In order to complete the leveling work, (d) a drawing process, (e) a filling process, and (f) a lifting process are subsequently performed.

  In the drawing step of FIG. 2D, an operation of pulling out the screw 11 from the casing 12 is performed with the casing 12 remaining in the ground. The extraction of the screw 11 is performed by bringing the screw 11 into a free state (a state in which the screw 11 can be completely moved relative to the casing 12) and raising the elevator 21. The casing 12 from which the screw 11 is pulled out is in a hollow state.

  In the filling step of FIG. 2 (e), new soil S is filled in the casing 12 (cavity). The soil S used in the filling process is preferably the same type of soil as the soil that constitutes the ground from which excavation is performed, from the viewpoint of restoring the land to an almost original state, as long as the soil can secure the strength of the ground. It may be soil brought in from other places. Examples of such soil that can be used include sand, river sand, natural crushed stone, and mountain scraps. A filling process is performed using the filling means which can handle soil efficiently, for example, the backhoe 40. FIG. If the soil S is filled using the backhoe 40, the removal work of the plurality of columnar improved piles P can be efficiently performed. In addition, when the inner diameter of the casing 12 (that is, the diameter of the excavation hole) is small, it is not necessary to use the backhoe 40, and an operator may fill the inside of the casing 12 with the soil S manually. .

  In the lifting process of FIG. 2 (f), an operation of lifting the casing 12 to the ground is performed. The casing 12 is lifted, for example, by attaching the gripping arm 22 of the elevator 21 to the side surface of the casing 12 (not shown) and raising the elevator 21 in this state. At this time, if the lifting is performed while applying vibration to the casing 12, the friction with the ground G in contact with the outer surface of the casing 12 is reduced, so that the lifting operation can be easily performed. When the underground casing 12 is lifted, the soil S filled in the casing S remains in the ground as it is. Thereby, the backfilling of the hole formed by excavation of the ground G is completed.

  In addition, in the (f) lifting process, when the casing 12 is lifted from the ground, a cylindrical gap corresponding to the volume (thickness) of the casing S is instantaneously generated in the ground G, and the backfilled soil S is outside. And the ground G may loosen or dent. Therefore, in order to prevent such a problem in advance, it is preferable to excessively fill the soil S to a position slightly higher than the surrounding ground surface in the (e) filling step. If such measures are taken, when the casing 12 is lifted from the ground, the excessively filled soil S compensates for the volume reduction of the casing 12 and prevents the ground G from loosening or dents. it can.

  According to the underground pile removal method of the present invention, (a) positioning step, (b) excavation step, (c) discharge step, (d) drawing step, (e) filling step, and (f) lifting step are performed. By carrying out, the columnar improved pile P buried in the ground is completely replaced by the soil S, and the land is restored to its original state as shown in (g).

  As described above, the underground buried pile removing method and the underground buried pile removing apparatus according to the present invention do not forcibly pull out the fragile and easily crushed columnar improved pile, but dare to crush it in the ground, It adopts a completely new technology that discharges to the ground by force. According to this new technology, the excavation site does not become muddy with water or contaminated with chemicals, so that it is possible to minimize ground damage and contamination when restoring the land. Moreover, since the underground buried pile can be reliably removed at low cost, the present invention can be a construction method particularly suitable for leveling a general residential area.

  The underground buried pile removing method and the underground buried pile removing apparatus of the present invention can be used for removing the columnar improved piles constructed in the ground improvement work for ordinary houses, but do not include the reinforcing material or the wire. If it is a buried object, it can also be applied to the removal of other buried objects.

It is to include.

As mentioned above, columnar improvement piles constructed for ground improvement work for ordinary houses are a relatively new technology, so there are not many cases of dismantling buildings and leveling land where columnar improvement piles are buried. Not many. Therefore, the removal technique of the columnar improved pile buried in the ground is a technique that will be studied in earnest, and a new technological development different from the existing pile removal method is desired.
Therefore, the present inventors paid attention to the property that the columnar improved pile not including the streak or the wire is brittle and easy to break compared to the conventional known piles, and as a result of earnest research, the columnar improved pile was targeted. A new removal method was developed.
According to the underground pile removal method of this configuration, the columnar improved pile buried in the ground is crushed with the crushing bit attached to the screw, then injected from the proximal end side of the screw, and from the distal end side. By the force of the compressed air injected, it is discharged to the ground from the upper part of the casing that houses the screw. That is, the pulling-out work of the pile which was necessary when removing the existing pile is unnecessary in the present invention. The present invention has been made on the basis of a completely new technical idea that it is easy to remove from the ground by daringly crushing it in the ground instead of forcibly pulling out the fragile and easily crushed columnar improved pile. Since the fragments of the crushed columnar improved piles are light because they do not contain any streaks or wires, they can be discharged to the ground by the force of compressed air. Moreover, since compressed air is used for conveyance of crushed material, the excavation site is not muddy with water or contaminated with chemicals. Therefore, in restoring the land, damage and contamination of the ground can be minimized.
Furthermore, according to the underground pile removal method of this configuration, since the crushing range by the crushing bit surely includes the diameter of the casing, the casing can be smoothly lowered when excavating the ground, and as a result, the inside of the casing The crushed material can be surely accommodated. Also, when crushing the columnar improved pile, for example, even if the columnar improved pile is slightly inclined and tends to come off the casing frame, it can be reliably crushed with the crushing bit, so without interrupting the excavation work, Continuous operation is possible.
