The methodology proposed here for testing grout injectability in a porous media like masonry is a logical tool to use in grout optimization.
To ensure an adequate flow of the grout and a correct filling of the internal voids inside the masonry, it is essential to assure good fresh grout properties.
This has to be considered when the viscosity of the grout is essential.
The grout utilized has suitable mechanical characteristics and efficiency.
Results showed a satisfactory performance of the grout concerning fresh and hardened mortar properties as well as injectability.
This study has shown that grout properties do vary and should therefore not to be regarded as uniform.
The research shows that there are differences in the grout behaviour, especially in rheological properties, when different mixing procedures and/or grout composition (different water/binder or fly ash/binder ratios) are used and that fresh grout properties may be optimized for injection purpose.

Based on the identified parameters that define the grouting time-scale and grout penetration, an effective design of grouting operations can be set up.
The paper shows that there are differences in the grout behaviour when different mixing procedures are used and that fresh grout properties may be optimized if a proper mixing procedure is chosen.

What is Grout Column Diameter?3 answersGrout column diameter refers to the size or width of a column created through the process of grouting. Grouting is a technique used to fill voids or stabilize soil or rock formations by injecting a fluid material, known as grout, into the desired area. The diameter of the grout column is an important parameter in various applications, such as jet grouting systems for soil erosion control, grouting machines for concrete seepage crack repair, and magnetic separation columns for mineral processing equipment. The diameter of the grout column can affect the effectiveness and efficiency of the grouting process, as well as the stability and performance of the treated area. Therefore, accurate prediction and control of the grout column diameter are crucial in these applications.
What is grout column for Contiguous Bored Pile Wall?5 answersA grout column for a Contiguous Bored Pile Wall is a construction method that involves injecting grout material into the space between piles to strengthen the wall. This method is used to improve the stability and load-bearing capacity of the wall, particularly in soft soil areas. The grout material, which can be a mixture of blast furnace granulated slag and ordinary Portland cement, is injected into the piles using a grout liquid. The grout column construction method provides physical and chemical reinforcement to the pile-earth boundary, increasing the unit pile bearing capacity by 20-30% compared to routine cast-in-place piles. It also helps in increasing pile side friction resistance and changing the properties of the bearing stratums. This method is particularly effective in emergency management treatment engineering and can be used for landslip anti-slip engineering and various other structures.
