Compensation grouting has been attracting attention in recent years to control ground settlement caused by underground construction. A successful and effective application of compensation grouting depends not only on the use of a good monitoring system in the field but also on a fundamental understanding of grout behavior in soils. For compensation grouting in clay, there is a need to consider ...

in this paper, the grouting ability of sandy soils is investigated by artificial neural networks based on the results of chemical grout injection tests. in order to evaluate the soil grouting potential, experimental samples were prepared and then injected. the sand samples with three different particle sizes (medium, fine, and silty) and three relative densities (%30, %50, and %90) were injecte...

This paper discusses field tests developed by the Getty Conservation Institute to evaluate injection grouts for comparison and quality control of materials and mixtures. Field test methods discussed include injection with syringe, flow with syringe, expansion and bleeding, wet density, drying shrinkage, and final setting time. Four commercial grouts and an ICCROM grout with four modified versio...

Acid mine drainage (AMD) from abandoned coal mines continues to be one of the most significant environmental problems. Remediation of AMD requires an addition of lime source to decrease the acidity, and grouting the entire mine and encapsulating the pyrite by calcium-rich additives is often employed. Utilization of alkaline coal combustion by-products (CCBs) has gained acceptance in such remedi...

Abstract This paper designed a special-shaped cross-section hollow self-drilling bolt with discharge grooves, in which Mindlin’s solution of displacement was used the elastic wholly grouted bolt. Theoretically, ultimate pulling force and residual were analyzed by considering average distribution assumption stress. The bolts’ performance 2, 3, 4 grooves compared circular bolts, experimental resu...

This article develops an enhanced UHPC-grout shear connection for steel-concrete composite bridges with precast decks. The primary improvement is the use of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) as grout. To validate constructability and mechanical new connection, two series experimental tests (including grouting push-out tests) were conducted. Results from show that both pressure method self-...

In this preliminary study, the complexity of the corrosion phenomenon of post-tensioning strands in grouted anchorage assemblies was examined and both physicochemical and electrochemical key technical issues were identified. Measurements of oxygen reduction efficiency in high pH electrolytes were conducted to obtain polarization parameters to be used in modeling. The time evolution of electrica...
