The confirmation of the volume of the improved body formed by chemical grouting method is usually performed using the uniaxial compressive strength. However, because the target strength of the improved body is not so high, it is difficult to evaluate the difference in strength before and after the improvement. Therefore, it is required to introduce another indicator representing the difference before and after the improvement more sensitively instead of uniaxial compressive strength. In this study, we focused on the change in resistivity before and after the improvement. In this paper, we report the results of small soil tank experiments and field demonstration experiments conducted in order to clarify the electrical resistivity characteristics of improved sand and the scope of application by the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
