| Abstract | Bored pile with shaft grouting is a new topic in the construction industry of Vietnam. Although this construction technique is well-known in many countries and has been applied widely due to the beneficial increase of the load bearing capacity of bored pile, this technique has only been introduced to Vietnam within the last 5 years. Due to the nature of the technique itself, there is no certain method to predict the increase of bearing capacity of piles. In many cases, it is down to the result of test piles with shaft grouting to deduce an increase factor to be used for the design process. This research will provide a general explanation if the technique, geological information of the formation of soil in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Case studies of bored piles with shaft grouting from countries in the region with similar soil conditions will also be presented. Result from test piles of a project in Ho Chi Minh city will be review and compare with these case studies to justify the increase factor of pile’s capacity. Recommendation for further studies will also be provided. |
