Permeation grouting of a fine-grained pyroclastic soil

Abstract

A research activity was recently started at the University of Napoli Federico II on the unusual application of permeation grouting to low-permeability soils and rocks. The project is aimed at finding a means for remedying some of the geotechnical hazards that involve the subsoil of Napoli, mostly made in its upper part of collapsible, unsaturated pyroclastic silty sands (pozzolana). This paper refers to the results obtained by treating pozzolana with sodium silicate solutions of water and a small percentage of silicates and of an inorganic additive. The results clearly indicate that the very diluted silicate grouts adopted are effective in this case, improving the mechanical properties of pozzolana not only from a physical point of view, by building up a polymeric net within the voids, but also by direct chemical interaction between the grout and the soil grains. The mechanical properties of grouted pozzolana depend on curing time, grout content and surrounding moisture conditions. Une activité de recherche vient d´être lancée à l´Université Federico II de Naples; elle porte sur l´application inhabituelle de la cimentation infiltrante dans des sols et rochers à basse perméabilité. Ce projet a pour but de trouver comment remédier à quelques-uns des risques géotechniques que connaît le sous-sol de Naples, principalement dans sa partie supérieure de sables limoneux pyroclastiques non saturés (pozzolana). Cet exposé montre les résultats obtenus en traitant le pozzolana par des solutions d´eau contenant un petit pourcentage de silicates et un additif inorganique. Les résultats indiquent clairement que les ciments au silicate très dilués qui ont été adoptés sont efficaces dans ce cas, améliorant les propriétés mécaniques du pozzolana non seulement sur le plan physique, en créant un filet polymérique à l´intérieur des vides, mais aussi par une interaction chimique directe entre le ciment et les grains de sol. Les propriétés mécaniques du pozzolana cimenté dépendent du temps de cuisson, du contenu de ciment et des conditions humides ambiantes.
