AI Technical Summary
In traditional cement mixing pile technology, the equal diameter piles fail to fully utilize the differences in bearing capacity of soil layers at different depths, resulting in limited improvement in pile bearing capacity. This is especially true in deep soft soil foundations where the pile end resistance is low and the side friction resistance is limited.
A variable diameter drill rod device is used, in which the spiral blades on the outer periphery of the drill rod gradually increase in size from one end of the adjacent drill bit to the other, forming a conical pile. Combined with pressure sensors to monitor the grouting pressure and water-cement ratio, the cement grout and soil are fully mixed and solidified, forming a conical mixing pile.
It significantly improves the bearing capacity of the pile body. By increasing the diameter, it utilizes the side friction of the shallow soil and reduces the disturbance to the deep soft soil, thereby increasing the overall bearing capacity by 30-50%.
