2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a slurry composed of organic acids or organic acids and alkali carbonates, calcium aluminate, gypsum, and water is referred to as solution A, and a slurry composed of cement and water is referred to as solution B. A ground improvement method has been proposed in which the solution B and the solution B are mixed by a confluent pipe, poured into the ground, and gelled in a few minutes (JP-A-59-121144).
However, with this method, when the temperature at the time of construction and the temperature of the mixing water are high, when the wastewater such as cement is mixed in the mixing water used for the liquid A, and when seawater is used instead of ordinary water In the above, the time during which the solution A can be stirred becomes extremely short, and only solution A gels, or when solution A and solution B are mixed, gelation occurs, but the strength of the gel is weak and time elapses. However, there were problems such as poor strength development.

As a result of various studies, the present inventor has completed the present invention by obtaining the knowledge that the above problems can be solved by using a specific setting modifier together with a rapid hardening cement.

The present invention will be described in detail below.

In the present invention, a specific setting modifier is used in combination with a rapid hardening cement containing cement and a quick hardening material.

Here, as the cement, normal, early strength,
It is possible to use various portland cements such as super early strength, various mixed cements obtained by mixing these portland cements with blast furnace slag or fly ash, and further, fine particle cements. Of these, as the injection material,
It is preferable to use fine particle cement because the particles are fine and the permeability is good.

The rapid-hardening material is a material that loses fluidity and gels within a few tens of minutes when it is singly or mixed with cement together with water to form a slurry. using the well of comprising a titanate or calcium aluminate and gypsum.

Here, calcium aluminate means Ca
When O is C and Al ₂ O ₃ is A, for example, CA, C ₃ A, C ₂ A, and
It is a mineral substance shown as C ₁₂ A ₇ etc., and either crystalline or amorphous can be used. Further, it is also possible to use alkali solid solution calcium aluminate, fluorine-containing calcium aluminate, silica-containing calcium aluminate, fluoroauin, ahuin and the like. The particle size of the calcium aluminate is not particularly limited, but the Blaine value is preferably 3,000 to 9,000 cm ² / g, and usually 6,000 cm ² / g is more preferable in consideration of reactivity and the like.

As gypsum which forms a hardened material when used in combination with calcium aluminate, anhydrous gypsum, semi-water gypsum, dihydrate gypsum and the like can be used, and natural gypsum can also be used. The grain size of gypsum is not particularly limited, but the Blaine value is from 3,000 to
8,000 cm ² / g is preferable, 5,000 cm ² considering reactivity etc.
/ g is more preferable. The amount of gypsum used is preferably 80 to 300 parts by weight, more preferably 90 to 200 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of calcium aluminate. If it exceeds 300 parts by weight, poor curing may occur.

The amount of the rapid hardening material used is preferably 5 to 60 parts by weight, more preferably 20 to 40 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of cement. If it is less than 5 parts by weight, gelation may not occur within several tens of minutes, and if it exceeds 60 parts by weight, rapid hardening may be too strong and it may be difficult to adjust the gelling time.

The setting modifier used in the present invention is one which adjusts the setting of the rapid hardening cement and contains organic acids, alkali metal carbonates and phosphates .

Examples of the organic acids used in the present invention include oxycarboxylic acids such as citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid and gluconic acid, and alkali metal salts such as sodium salts and potassium salts thereof. The particle size of the organic acid is not particularly limited, but any commercially available one can be sufficiently used. The amount of the organic acid used is preferably 0.01 to 10 parts by weight, and more preferably 0.05 to 5 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the quick-hardening cement composed of cement and a quick-hardening material. If it is less than 0.01 part by weight, it may be difficult to obtain sufficient coagulation performance, and if it exceeds 10 parts by weight, gelation does not occur even if liquids A and B are mixed, or strength development is impaired even if gelled. There is a case.

Examples of the alkali metal carbonate used in the present invention include carbonates such as lithium carbonate, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, and bicarbonates such as sodium hydrogen carbonate and potassium hydrogen carbonate. The particle size of the alkali metal carbonate is not particularly limited, but any commercially available one can be sufficiently used. The amount of the alkali metal carbonate used is preferably 0.01 to 10 parts by weight, more preferably 0.05 to 5 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the rapid hardening cement. If it is less than 0.01 parts by weight, the effect of promoting the strength development after gelling may not be expected, and if it exceeds 10 parts by weight, the retarding effect may be too large and the strength development may be hindered.

The phosphate used in the present invention has a pH of less than 7 when it is made into an aqueous solution or slurry.
In the present invention, the calcium ion rapidly reacts with calcium ions generated by the hydration of calcium aluminate or cement, and the gel-like insoluble calcium phosphate having a large surface area covers the surface of the cement or calcium aluminate and exerts a large retarding effect. using the monosodium or monopotassium phosphate as <br/> phosphate. In the present specification,
"Phosphoric acid
Also called "salt." The amount of phosphate used is 100
0.01 to 10 parts by weight is preferable, and 0.05 to 5 parts by weight.
More preferably parts by weight. If it is less than 0.01 parts by weight, it may be difficult to exert a sufficient retarding effect, and if it exceeds 10 parts by weight, the retarding effect may be too large and strength development may be impaired.

Organic acids, alkali metal carbonates, and phosphorus
The method of mixing the acid salt is not particularly limited, and any method is possible.

In the present invention, for example, a slurry containing a rapid hardening material, a coagulation modifier, and water is referred to as liquid A, a slurry containing cement and water is referred to as liquid B, and the liquids A and B are mixed. Inject into the ground.

The water used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and ordinary tap water or sea water can be used, and for example, drainage containing cement components at the construction site can be used. The amount of water mixed with the rapid hardening material and the coagulation modifier is preferably 150 to 600 parts by weight, and more preferably 200 to 500 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the rapid hardening material. If it is less than 150 parts by weight, the pump of the slurry may become clogged and it may not be possible to quantitatively feed it, which may impair the pumpability, and if it exceeds 600 parts by weight, the water-cement ratio is too large and strength development is poor. May be. In addition, the amount of water mixed with cement is 9 parts with respect to 100 parts by weight of cement.
0 to 250 parts by weight is preferable, and 100 to 200 parts by weight is more preferable. If it is less than 90 parts by weight, the viscosity of the slurry is too large and pumpability may be impaired. If it exceeds 250 parts by weight, the strength of water may be poor because the water-cement ratio is too large.

The method for mixing the setting regulator of the present invention is not particularly limited, but it may be added to the rapid hardening material in advance, or it may be dissolved in water to be a slurry and then mixed with the rapid hardening material. It is possible to do so.

In the present invention, a water reducing agent may be used in combination depending on the soil condition.

The method of injecting the mixed solution or mixed slurry of the liquids A and B into the ground is not particularly limited. For example, the liquids A and B are separately fed under pressure and passed through a Y-shaped tube. It is possible to mix the liquids A and B and inject them into the ground from the tip of an injection bolt that has been drilled and inserted into the ground in advance.
