Abstract:
Mixtures of portland cement and water have been used in foundation grouting for over 150 years and portland cement grout continues to be the most commonly used and most economical grouting material. The basic physical properties of both fluid and hardened portland cement grout have remained essentially unchanged throughout this time, but advanced grouting methods and techniques have been developed to permit optimum use of those properties. It may now be possible to change the flow properties of fluid grout to suit the foundation conditions and the objectives of the grouting project. 148-293
