The method relies on the backward analysis of the temperatures measured inside the column, along the trace of the injecting pipe. Temperature changes in the column are caused by the hydration process of the cementitious grout. 2D axisymmetric unsteady heat conduction initial-boundary value problem is solved for finding the column shape which fits best the reference temperature measurements. The model of the column is solved using the finite element method. The search is performed using the global evolutionary optimization algorithm called differential evolution. It is shown that the proposed method can provide an accurate prediction of the column shape if only the model reflects the physical reality well. The advantage over previous results is that the cylindrical shape of the column does not have to be assumed anymore, and the full profile of the column along its length can be accurately identified.}, type={Article}, title={Shape identification of the jet-grouted column based on the thermal analysis and differential evolution}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/129787/PDF-MASTER/art30_int.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ace.2023.147673}, keywords={jet-grouted column, Transient heat transfer, cement hydration, inverse problem, differential evolution}, }
