Abstract: Post-grouting is a widely used technology for ground improvement and the strengthening of bored pile foundations. In situ experiments have shown that post-grouting is effective in improving the bearing capacity of bored piles. However, due to the cost and complexity of the in situ tests, the total number of test piles is limited. Therefore, it is not surprising that uncertainty is always associated with the collected data. This may significantly affect the conclusion of analyses, and most current studies have neglected this effect. In this paper, statistical analyses were carried out in order to investigate the effect of uncertainties in the data and the impact of post-grouting on the bearing behaviors of bored piles. The results show that post-grouting can significantly improve the bearing behavior of piles. This study is expected to provide technical guidance for post-grouting in foundation engineering.
