INJECTION OF FINE SANDS WITH VERY FINE CEMENT GROUT

A laboratory investigation was conducted on a commercially available, very fine cement grout to generate information on the fundamental properties of suspensions prepared with this material, the penetrability of the grout into the fine sand, and its effectiveness in terms of strength and permeability of the grouted formation. The results showed that suspension grouts prepared with very fine cement are an attractive and environmentally safer alternative to chemical grouting; grouts prepared with MC-500 Microfine cement have substantially better flow properties and bleed characteristics than ordinary portland cement grouts. These and other conclusions drawn from the study are discussed.
