Jet grouting (JG) is a soil treatment technique which is the best solution for several soil improvement problems. However, JG lacks design rules and quality controls. As a result, the main JG works are planned from empirical rules that are too conservative. The development of rational models to simulate the effects of the different parameters involved in the JG process is of primary importance in order to satisfy the binomial safety-economy that is required in any engineering project. In this paper, we present a new approach to predict the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of JG materials based on data mining techniques. This model was developed and verified using data from a JG laboratory formulation that involves the measurement of UCS. The results of the proposed approach are compared with the EC2 analytical model adapted to the JG material, and the advantages of the new approach are highlighted. We show that the novel data-driven model is able to learn (with high accuracy) the complex relationships between the UCS of JG material and its contributing factors.
Research highlights

► Key parameters to predict jet grouting strength are identified.
► New model for 28 days strength prediction without laboratory tests.
► Knowing 28 days strength, Eurocode 2 model is accurate in strength prediction.
