Abstract
A large cooling tower sits partially on bedrock and partially on very stiff clay, up to 14 m thick. Jet grout columns were installed in the clay beneath the tower foundations. This paper describes the selection of the jet grout installation parameters and the testing and production installation of the columns. An extensive settlement monitoring program allowed values of the elastic modulus of the grouted and nongrouted clay and the bedrock to be computed.
