Grouting is a widely used method for strengthening and sealing rock, soil and concrete. The possibilities for sealing structures are of great importance from both an economic and environmental point of view. The cost of grouting has in certain projects been as high as the cost of blasting and excavating the tunnel. To improve the technique for grouting with cement-based material, it is necessary to examine the properties of the grout mixture used. This course is intended to provide an introduction to soil grouting materials and procedures for those engineers not familiar with the technology and its application.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the characteristics and applications of primary soil grouts, including portland cement, clay, asphalt, and chemical grouts.
- Explain how admixtures, including accelerators and lubricants, can improve grout performance.
- Identify polymerized grouts, including acrylamide, resorcinol-formaldehyde, calcium acrylate, and epoxy resin grouts.
- Describe grouting procedures, including curtain, blanket or area, contact, and mine/cavity grouting.
- Explain the importance of pressure testing and washing in grouting operations.
- Describe how groundwater can affect grouting operations.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 15 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
