PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS OF INJECTION

PRINCIPES ET APPLICATIONS DE L'INJECTION

The study described reviews the problem of soil injection. The main characteristics are indicated (suitability for decanting, time of setting, viscosity, rigidity) for the main types of slurry: unstable, stable, liquid, foam-slurry. Their modes of action are analyzed, by impregnation or by bursting. On the basis of these data are determined the criteria of choice of slurry to use in terms of the medium to be processed (split rock or sands and gravels) and of objective sought: drying up, consolidation, filling of large cavities, lifting of a structure. A certain number of examples of application of injections is presented concerning in particular the treatment of pressure tunnels, the filling of large cavities and the lifting of a structure.
