Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily construct a trussed pile by a method in which a custom-made pile is penetrated into soil cement, and while penetrating a truss into the soil cement wall formed, the custom-made pile is connected with the truss. CONSTITUTION:A soil cement column 3a is formed and soil cement columns 3b and 3c are then formed. Soil cement walls 5a and 5b are formed between the columns 3a and 3b and also between the columns 3b and 3c. A steel tubular pile 4 is penetrated into the soil cement column 3a, and cement mortar is poured into the hollow 11 of an angular hollow coupler 9. A truss 6 is penetrated into the soil cement wall 5a, and the flange 14a of a T-shaped coupler 14 is inserted into the hollow 11 to joint the pile 4 to the truss 6 in the soil cement. The construction of the truss portion as a horizontal resistance element can thus be made easier, and the trussed pile for supporting vertical horizontal forces can be stably constructed.

The soil cement construction method involves rotating auger rods mounted on a traveling vehicle using electric power, etc., and injecting cement milk, etc., made of a cement-based hardening agent, from the center of the tip of each auger rod while drilling holes in the ground. A soil cement column or soil cement wall is formed by forcibly stirring using the stirring blades of the auger lot. In the case of soil-cement walls, a steel mold is press-fitted before the cement hardens, and this steel mold is used as a stress-bearing material, and the soil-cement wall functions as a water-impermeable retaining wall.
