A pressure-grouted helical pile (PGHP) is a stiffened helical pile installed by using the simultaneous drilling and grouting technique. The formation of the soil-cement column surrounded by the helical pile is influenced by the multiple installation parameters, including helix number, helix size, and drilling speed. A series of small-scale model tests was carried out in clay to investigate the influence of installation parameters on axial behavior of PGHP and the load transfer mechanism. The model piles were pulled out after the loading tests, and the dimensions of the soil-cement columns were measured. The ultimate compressive bearing capacities of the PGHPs were 260% to 293% higher than the un-grouted helical piles. The ultimate bearing capacities of the PGHPs were proportional to the increase of the helix number and helix size and decreased with the drilling speed. The average bond diameter of the soil-cement column was 1.26 to 1.35 times the helix size. The adhesion between the soil-cement column and the surrounding clay was in the range of 0.8 to 1.2. The overall results examine the feasibility of the simultaneous drilling and grouting technique in clay and the improvement of the axial bearing performance compared to un-grouted helical piles.
