This paper is experimental study on the effect of improved soil strength which was grouted by pressure grouting method for prevent collapse the tunnel's face during excavate tunnel. This study performs to investigate the proper grouting pressure and grouting method through pressure grouting laboratory model tests using loose dense sandy soil using specially designed and fabricated device($180cm{\times}220cm{\times}300cm$) under changing condition of injection in this test The investigation is carried out through measuring the size and shape of grout bulb, elastic modulus by pressure-meter test Elastic modulus was estimated using relation stress with strain which is result the uni-direction compressive strength test for cured grouted bulb under water during 28days. From these test results, the amount of increased elastic modulus of grouted zone was suggested.
