AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for treating bulges at the head of soil improvement bodies, such as those made of soil cement, are inefficient and pose safety risks during removal, lacking effective means to separate and reduce the strength of the raised portions for easy and efficient removal.
The method involves excavating the raised portion to a desired depth, supplying humic acid and saccharides like sugar or starch, which act as polymeric organic setting retarders, along with compressed air to reduce hydration reactions, thereby separating the raised portion into upper and lower parts, facilitated by a hollow head device with a jet port for injecting these agents.
This approach allows for easy and efficient removal of the raised portion by reducing its strength and facilitating separation, enhancing safety and efficiency in the removal process.
