Study on the Diffusion Law of Grouting Slurry at the Pile Tip of Bored Piles in Gravel Pebble Layers

The post-construction improvement technology of bored pile tips has been widely used in the construction of gravel pebble layers, but the diffusion law of the grouting slurry remains to be revealed. To study the diffusion law of the grouting slurry at the tip of bored piles in gravel pebble layers, an equivalent relationship between the seepage continuity equation and the mass diffusion continuity equation was established based on an in-depth comparative analysis; further relying on the Diluted Species Transport Module in Porous Media of Comsol Multiphysics, a three-dimensional numerical model of slurry diffusion was established to systematically study the impact of key factors such as different porosities, grouting times, grouting pressures, slurry diffusion coefficients, and the ratio of vertical to horizontal slurry diffusion coefficients on the diffusion radius of the slurry. The calculation results show that with the continuation of grouting, the increase in porosity, grouting pressure, and slurry diffusion coefficient, or the decrease in the ratio of vertical to horizontal slurry diffusion coefficients, the diffusion range of the slurry increases accordingly. Furthermore, comparatively speaking, the impact of porosity is the smallest, while the impact of the slurry diffusion coefficient is the greatest. The research findings reflect the diffusion trend of the slurry in the gravel pebble layer, which has guiding significance for the quality control of the actual design and construction of grouting.
