GE-26 use of jet grouted pile in deep braced excavation
This project is a study of the behavior of the wall in braced excavation system in the presence of the jet grouted piles (JGP). Jet grouting is the soil-improvement technique that aims to improve the soil characteristics. In Singapore, it is widely used to treat weak soil, especially in soft clays....

This project is a study of the behavior of the wall in braced excavation system in the presence of the jet grouted piles (JGP). Jet grouting is the soil-improvement technique that aims to improve the soil characteristics. In Singapore, it is widely used to treat weak soil, especially in soft clays. PLAXIS 2D, one of the finite element software was used in this study. The analysis model is a 30.6m depth excavation supported by a 44.3m long diaphragm wall with two layers of JGP. Thickness, stiffness and strength of the JGP were varied in different analysis to study the effects of the JGP. It was conducted by making comparisons of the soil displacements, lateral wall displacements, bending moment of the wall and strut forces. Nicoll Highway was studied in this project and it was found out that Method C showed more critical results and Method A was not suitable to use for Nicoll Highway case.
