Reducing Wall Deflection
Main applications of JGP in deep excavation are:
1. To reduce wall deflection & ground settlement
2. To minimize effect on adjacent structures
3. To improve basal heave stability
4. To improve toe kick‐in stability
5. To control seepage

How does it work?
It acts as a compression member to reduce wall deflection
deflection.
In addition, it can also act as an anchored slab to minimize bottom heave

Conclusions
1. Many uncertainties involving JGP:
• Strength
• Modulus
• Initial stress
• Slab thickness
• Post‐failure behaviour
2. Shallow excavations Æ JGP strength may not be important.
3. Deep excavations Æ JGP strength becomes critical. Proper modeling of post‐failure behaviour becomes important. 4. Use qu=600 kPa and Eu=150 MPa as reference case
Reducing Wall Deflection
67
5. Conduct sensitivity studies on
‐ Modulus
‐ Strength
‐ Slab thickness
‐ Post‐failure softening
6. Do not zero the inclinometer readings at the start of excavation. Always base on the initial readings.
7. Exercise stringent quality control during jet grouting.
8 M it
8. Monitor performance closely during construction.
