2 4 Ground Improvement Solutions Introduction Ground Improvement Solutions Keller Ground Engineering s ground improvement systems are designed to reduce the costs of developing problem ground and brown field sites. Their ground improvement techniques are designed to both densify and strengthen weak or poorly compacted soils. Thus saving on construction time and cost by removing the need to by-pass problem soil with piles or deep foundations. Piling Solutions Keller Foundations provides a comprehensive range of piling systems suited to a wide range of soils and a wide range of building and civil engineering applications. Highly efficient and cost effective, Keller piling systems are also designed to be environmentally friendly by reducing the amount of spoil generated to a minimum.

3 Ground Improvement Solutions 3 Vibro Stone Columns Construction methods Keller s Vibro Replacement method of constructing stone columns through fill material and weak soils, to improve their load bearing and settlement characteristics, provides an economic and technically sound solution to a wide range of geotechnical and foundation problems. To construct the stone columns, the vibrator is allowed to penetrate to the design depth and the resulting cavity is filled with hard inert stone, free of clay and silt fines. The required interaction between the stone columns and the surrounding soils, is developed by the stone infill being introduced and compacted in stages, each charge of stone being thoroughly compacted. The stone columns and the confining soils form an integrated foundation support system having low compressibility and improved load bearing capacity. In cohesive soils, relatively rapid consolidation is achieved through excess pore water pressures being readily dissipated by the stone columns. The stone column layout can be arranged to suit varying combinations of load, soil type and required settlement performance. In general, column spacings are in the range of 1.2 to 2.3 metres beneath main load bearing foundations, and up to 3.0 metres beneath floor slabs.
4 4 Ground Improvement Solutions There are two principal methods for constructing Vibro Replacement stone columns: The conventional Top Feed process This is where the hole formed by a purpose built base machine with a vibrator mounted on the mast or crane suspended vibrator remains open and the stone infill is added and compacted by the vibrator in stages, assisted by compressed air. 1. Vibrator penetrates weak soils under action of vibrations and compressed air jetting medium and forms a hole to design, usually a competent bearing stratum. 2. After being held at depth for a short time, the vibrator is withdrawn and a charge of stone is placed into the hole The vibrator is reintroduced into the hole, the stone is compacted, forced out and tightly interlocked with the surrounding ground. 4. by adding successive charges of stone and compacting each one, a column of 2 3 very compact stone is built up to ground level. The reinforcing and compacting action of the stone columns serves to significantly improve the load bearing and settlement characteristics of the ground. 4 The Bottom Feed process This is a dry process used to treat unstable soils and/or soils with a high ground water level. 1. With the vibrocat stabilised on hydraulic outriggers, the leaders are elevated to the vertical and the vibrator located on the ground at the stone column position. The skip is charged with stone. 2. The skip travels up the leaders and automatically discharges stone into the reception chamber at the top of the vibrator. 3. The vibrator penetrates the weak soils to the design depth under the action of the vibrations, compressed air and pull-down winch facility At the required depth, stone is released and compacted by small upward and downward movements of the vibrator, the pull-down being employed on the downward compacting action With stone being added to the system as necessary at any stage of the construction procedure, a stone column of very high integrity, tightly interlocked with the surrounding soil, is built up to ground level.
5 Ground Improvement Solutions 5 Technical application In granular and mixed materials the stone columns densify the surrounding soil. Whereas, in cohesive soils, the stone columns, often stronger than the surrounding soil, act initially as reinforcement with excess pore water being dissipated through the stone column to achieve a rapid consolidation. The confining action of the ground surrounding the stone columns determines the settlement performance. The bearing pressure offered in weak soil is determined therefore by the settlement requirements of the performance specification. Vibro column spacing and treatment dept is a function of soil type, load and performance criteria. Column spacing generally ranges from 1.2 metres to a maximum of 3 metres and fully dimensioned stone column layout drawings are produced as part of the treatment design process. A guide to achievable bearing pressures for differing soil types along with a guide to anticipated settlement performance are shown in the table.

7 Ground Improvement Solutions 7 Construction sequence Stage 1 At full water pressure, the vibrator penetrates to design dept and is surged up and down as necessary to agitate sand, remove fines and form an annular gap around the vibrator. Stage 2 Once at depth, the water pressure is reduced and with the vibrator remaining in the ground, sand infill is added from ground level and compacted a the base of the vibrator. Stage 3 When the required compaction resistance is achieved, the vibrator is raised and more sand infill added and compacted as before. This procedure is repeated until compaction point is built up to ground level. 100 Silt Sand Gravel Passing by weight (%) Vibro Replacement Vibro Compaction Particle size (mm)
8 8 Ground Improvement Solutions Dynamic Deep Compaction Dynamic deep compaction (DDC) is an important ground improvement technique, capable of compacting a wide variety of weak soils. The improvement results in increased bearing capacity and reduced settlement. In this way soil conditions on many marginal sites can be improved to the point where shallow foundations can be used without recourse to deep excavation or piling. Whilst the principle of dynamic deep compaction is of considerable antiquity, it is only in the past 15 years that the technique has been seriously applied on a large scale to the solving of problems by ground improvement. Keller have been actively engaged in successfully applying the system internationally during this period, and are able to offer DDC alongside their other geo-technical techniques to provide a complete ground engineering service. With DDC, the ground is subjected to repeated surface tamping using a heavy steel and concrete weight. Typically the tamper weighs between 5 and 20 tonnes, dropping in free fall from heights of up to 25 metres. The tamper is dropped a set number of times on a grid pattern over the site to form a pass. Two to five passes on a site, dependent on soil type and condition, can be required. The imprints formed at each drop position are infilled with granular material after each pass.
9 Ground Improvement Solutions 9 The treatment pattern, energy level, number of passes and phasing of passes must be designed to take into account the soil conditions, type of development and required bearing capacity and settlement characteristics. It is essential to have a thorough understanding of the soils prior to treatment, and to maintain very close geo-technical control during all phases of the work. Typically, insitu testing by borehole or static cone penetrometer, allied with measurement of print volume and site surface settlement is performed during the dynamic deep compaction contract.

10 10 Piling Solutions Driven Cast in Situ Piling Keller Displacement Piling systems are in growing demand, particularly on contaminated sites where the cost of spoil removal is becoming increasingly expensive. Driven Cast Insitu Highly efficient, the Keller Driven Cast Insitu Pile is designed to make maximum use of the available skin friction and end bearing potential of the surrounding soil. It is capable of achieving high working loads in a variety of weak subsoil conditions, regardless of water table. Robust, the construction method used is ideally suited to piling brownfield sites where obstructions can frequently create programme and cost control problems. The Keller Driven Pile system can frequently drive through obstructions that would create problems for other piling techniques. Environmentally Friendly Apart from the key benefit of not producing spoil, the cast insitu construction process also provides a tight bond to the surrounding soil and limits the potential of vertical migration of soil contaminates. Soil Types The Keller Driven Pile is ideally suited to granular soils above or below the water table but it also develops high working loads in weak rocks such as marl and chalk. In addition, the pile can be used effectively in silty or sandy clays. The driving resistance and the soil profile are correlated to control the length of each pile to ensure that the design requirements are achieved. Driven Pile Sizes and Capacities Keller Driven Piles are constructed in a range of sizes.
11 Piling Solutions 11 First the robust drive tube is fitted with a flat heavy steel shoe and driven to either a length or set in to the bearing stratum. In highly contaminated areas or when driving in to rock a pointed shoe can be used. Head of Head of Head of Head of concrete concrete concrete concrete When the required depth has been reached, full length reinforcement designed for axial, shear or uplift loads is placed inside the casing which is then filled with high slump concrete.

13 Piling Solutions 13 Vibro Concrete Columns The Keller Vibro Concrete Column (VCC) system provides a quiet, economical, mess free piling solution for sites underlain by weak alluvial or organic deposits such as peat and soft clays. Extremely quiet with low vibration, the Keller VCC piling system is an environmentally acceptable alternative to driven precast or cast insitu systems. Vibro Concrete Columns are constructed with enlarged bases and designed to develop the full potential of the founding strata. Highly Efficient VCCs are ideal for weak alluvial soils such as peats and soft clays overlying competent founding stratum such as sands and gravels, soft rocks etc. Working loads up to 750kN can be achieved in appropriate soils. The bulb end and frictional components of the VCCs enable high safe working loads to be developed at much shallower depths than alternative piling systems and thus generally provide a far more economical solution. Rapid Installation Programme benefits can be gained from the highly efficient VCC construction process which can produce over 1,000 metres of concrete column per rig week. Mess Free The VCC system is a quiet low vibrationdisplacement process with none of the mess and high cost of spoil removal associated with continuous flight auger and bored piling systems. Cut offs With the VCC system it is possible to reduce pile heads to cut off level prior to placing reinforcement, thus providing considerable savings in trimming costs and time. Construction Sequence 1. The purpose built Keller Vibrocat rig is stabilised by hydraulic outriggers and the guide leaders positioned for verticality/ tremmie system is connected to a powerful mobile concrete pump. 2. Before penetrating, system is charged with concrete. The poker then penetrates the soil until the required resistance of depth has been achieved. 3. The founding layer, if granular, is further compacted by the vibrator. Concrete is pumped out from the base of the tremmie at positive pressure. After raising the poker by up to 1 metre, it re-enters the concrete shaft displacing it into a bulb until a set resistance has been achieved. 4. Once the bulb end is formed, the poker is withdrawn at a controlled rate from the soil whilst concrete continues to be pumped out at positive pressure. 5. Once completed the columns can be trimmed and reinforcement placed as required. To form an enlarged head the poker is reintroduced into the top of the finished column, whilst maintaining a concrete flow.

15 Piling Solutions 15 Continuous Flight Auger Keller s Augercast Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) piling system provides a quiet low vibration form of piling that is ideal in built-up areas. Keller s CFA rigs can construct piles in most soils including sands, gravels, silts, clays, chalk and weak bedrock, in high water tables without the need for temporary support systems. Instrumentation Constant monitoring is essential to the success of the CFA system. Keller s sophisticated in-cab instrumentation allows the monitoring of the movement and position of the auger digging head as well as the rate of flow, amount and pressure of concrete delivered during formation of the pile shaft. Reinforcement The reinforcement cage has to withstand the rigours of placement through the recently pumped high slump concrete. Typically, Keller Augercast Bored Piles are reinforced with a rigid six metre long cage as a minimum. However, there is the ability to install much longer cages as and when required by the design or specification. A specially developed vibrator unit assists with the placing and accurate location of the reinforcement cages. Concrete cover is afforded to the reinforcement by the effective use of Keller s 75mm plastic sledge spacers clipped onto the main bars. Enlarged Head CFA Piles When CFA piles are required to support floor slabs or loads from embankments etc. the connection would traditionally be made through a pile cap or network of ground beams. With the Keller CFA system however, the piles can be installed with insitu, enlarged heads of predetermined diameter (typically around 900mm). This innovative approach can save considerably on slab reinforcement and the cost/time involved in trimming pile heads.

17 Piling Solutions 17 Secant Bored Pile Walls Keller can install hard/soft Secant Bored Pile Walls with piles up to 0.9 metres in diameter. The walls provide excellent performance in terms of stiffness and ground water control and are ideal for where basements have to be formed in areas of high water table. Keller have full design and construct capability with state of the art rotary piling rigs enabling construction of the deepest of city centre basements in all soil types possible. Secant walls can be combined with Jet Grouting for either underpinning adjacent foundations or sealing the base slab. Secant hard/soft Bored Pile Wall Secant hard/stiff Bored Pile Wall

19 Piling Solutions 19 Innovations Keller Foundations have an impressive record of introducing new systems to the foundations market. This is helped by technology transfer from around the globe where other regions or group companies are particularly experienced in a technique. Using Recycled material Some 50% and rising of Keller vibro projects are now undertaken with a certificated recycled material forming the stone columns and on this housing site (below right) the recycled material was a by product of a waste incinerator i.e. the hard inert materials such as brick and china left as the waste is burnt. These materials can attain a high friction value necessary for maximum integrity of stone columns and of course behave in the ground in exactly the way natural aggregates do. So, if a project has recycling targets to achieve we can try to find an approved material for use in the stone columns. This could be better for the BREEAM rating of the project and may reduce costs. Environmental Stone Columns (ESC) In the long term, developments such as retail parks and supermarkets are covered with hard standing and this surfacing and the buildings are effectively a barrier to downward percolation of surface water. However, it is during the construction period that stone columns could provide a small risk to an aquifer below with flash storms or similar. Keller can mitigate this risk by installing ESC s. ESC s have a minimum one metre thick lean mix concrete plug at their base installed with a modified bottom feed vibro rig. This technique prevents contact of the stone column with any permeable stratum which could be an aquifer but allows the benefits of vibro to be taken advantage of. Vibrex Piling was first used by Keller in Poland and brings the benefits of displacement piling without the noise and vibration. The system uses a top vibrator to vibrate a tube in place and thereafter construct a pile in the same way as a Driven Cast In Situ Pile. Rigid Inclusions (Inclusion Rigide) is a system which has been offered by Keller France for many years and utilises a concrete column or pile which is topped off by a minimum 3m long stone column. On top of this improved zone conventional floor slabs or pad foundations can be placed. This enables sites with deep deposits of very soft clays and organic bands, normally unsuitable for conventional ground improvement, to be developed utilising the advantages of ground bearing slabs. Several high profile sites for international clients have been undertaken with this system in mainland Europe. Liquid Soil is technology that Keller Foundations will be sharing around Europe where the pressure to avoid spoil removal is less. This system was developed to treat piling spoil enabling it to be re used either as drainage excavation infill or as the soft piles in secant walls. By carefully mixing the patented chemical we can create a material ranging in strength from 0.5N/mm2 to 10N/mm2 according to the end use.
