This study was conducted as part of research and development of high-strength grout. Accordingly, dolomite aggregate was used as a filler incorporated into the high-strength grout. Dolomite aggregate has a disadvantage of increasing the viscosity of the grout due to higher generation of fine powder than other aggregates. Accordingly, in this experiment, it was confirmed that the viscosity, flow time, and flow of high-strength grout change according to the volume composition ratio of dolomite aggregate and cement-based material. All experiments were conducted based on the Korean Industrial Standard KS F 4044, and the mixing factor was applied according to the composition ratio of the binder and the filler. In the experiment, the amount of fine powder contained in the dolomite aggregate rather than the silica sand used in the past is grasped, and after mixing with the grout accordingly, the mixture is proceeded to measure the viscosity in an unhardened state. In addition, the flow and flow time of the grout are evaluated according to the viscosity. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the viscosity and flow time decreased and the flow increased as the volume composition ratio of the dolomite aggregate to the cement-based material increased.

Many construction projects adopt grouting technology to prevent the leakage of groundwater or to improve the shear strength of the ground. Recognition as a feasible field procedure dates back to 1925, Since then, developments and field use have increased rapidly. According to improvement of grout materials, theoretical study on grout penetration characteristics is demanded. Fluid of grout always tends to flow from higher hydraulic potential to lower and the motion of grout is also a function of formation permeability. Viscosity of grout is changed by chemical action while grout moves through pores. Due to the increment of viscosity, permeability is decreased. Permeability is also reduced by grout particle deposits to the soil aggregates. In this thesis, characteristics of new cement grout material that is developed recently is studied: injectable volume of new grout material is tested in two different sizes of sands, and the method to calculate injectable volume of grout is suggested with consideration of change in viscosity and clogging phenomena. The calculated values are compared with injection test results. Viscosity of new grout material is found to be an exponential function of time. And lumped parameter $\theta$ of new grout material to be used for assessing deposition characteristics is estimated by comparing deposit theory with injection test results considering different soil types and different injection pressure.

This paper presents a comparison between experimental measurements and numerical estimations of penetration length of a cement grout injected in discrete joints. In the experiment, a joint was generated by planar acryl plates with a certain separation distance (; aperture) and was designed in such a way to vary the separation distances. Since a cement grout was used, the grout viscosity can be varied by controlling water-cement (W/C) ratios. Throughout these experiments, the influence of joint aperture, cement grout viscosity, and injection rate on a penetration length in a discrete joint was investigated. During the experiments, we also measured the time-dependent variation of grout viscosity due to a hardening process. The time-dependent viscosity was included in our numerical simulations as a function of elapsed time to demonstrate its impact on the estimation of penetration length. In the numerical simulations, Bingham fluid model that has been known to be applicable to a viscous cement material, was employed. We showed that the estimations by the current numerical approach were well comparable to the experimental measurements only in limited conditions of lower injection rates and smaller joint apertures. The difference between two approaches resulted from the facts that material separation (; bleeding) of cement grout, which was noticeable in higher injection rate and there could be a significant surface friction between the grout and joint planes, which are not included in the numerical simulations. Our numerical simulation, meanwhile, could well demonstrate that penetration length can be significantly over-estimated without considering a time-dependency of viscosity in a cement grout.

1925년 이후 지반개량공법은 많은 발전을 거듭해 왔으며, 많은 건설현장에서 차수의 목적 또는 지반강도 증진의 목적 등으로 그라우팅이 적용되어왔다. 지반개량공법의 발전과 더불어 그라우트재의 종류 또한 그 수가 증가되었으며, 그라우트재의 침투특성과 관련된 이론적인 연구의 필요성이 요구되었다. 전수두차에 의해 그라우트재의 흐름이 발생되며, 그라우트재의 이동은 지반의 투수계수의 영향을 받는다. 그라우트재가 지반의 간극을 지날 때, 그라우트재의 화학반응에 의해 점도가 변화되며, 따라서 점도 증가로 인하여 투수계수는 감소하게 된다. 또한 현탁액형의 그라우트재의 경우 그라우트재 입자에 의한 지반 간극의 폐색으로 투수계수가 감소하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 새로 개발된 그라우트재의 물리적-화학적 특성을 연구하고, 입경이 다른 두 종류의 모형지반에서 실시된 신개발 그라우트재의 주입실험 결과와 비교하여 점도변화와 폐색현상을 고려한 그라우트재의 침투 가능성을 이론적으로 제시하고자 한다. 측정된 신개발 그라우트재의 점도는 시간의 지수함수 형태를 보였으며, 실험결과와 비교하여 폐색현상과 관련된 계수 $\delta$를 추정하였다. 그라우트재의 점도 변화는 시간에 따른 주입량에 많은 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 간극의 크기가 작은 지반에서 주입실험을 실시한 결과 폐색현상의 영향으로 주입량이 현저하게 감소되는 것으로 나타났다.

This study analyzes the changes in the physical properties of grout by irradiating it with ultrasonic energy and assesses the injectability of the grout into deep rock fractures. The materials used in the research are OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) and MC (Micro Cement), and are irradiated depending on the water/cement ratio. After irradiating the grout with ultrasonic energy, viscosity, compressive strength, and particle size are analyzed, and the results of the particle size analysis were applied to Nick Barton's theory to evaluate the injectability of the grout into deep rock fractures under those conditions. It was found that the viscosity of the grout decreased after ultrasonic wave irradiation, and the rate of viscosity reduction tended to decrease as the water/cement ratio increased. Additionally, an increase in compressive strength and a decrease in particle size were observed, indicating that the grout irradiated with ultrasonic energy was more effective for injection into rock fractures.

Generally, OPC(ordinary portland cement) is used for grouting in Korea, and bentonite has usually been added to prevent the deposition of cement particles. The dispersion of CB(cement bentonite) grout is influenced by variable factors i.e. water to cement ratio, particle size of cement, kind of bentonite, adding volume, methods of adding, viscosity of CB grout materials and curdling time. Among variable factors, the viscosity of CB grout materials is influenced by the dispersion, and dispersion is improved as increasing the mixing speed. In this paper, described a suitable mixing speed of the High Speed Mixer in field, engineering characteristics of CB grout materials vary with the water to cement ratio and the mixing speed as well as confirming the state of dispersion.

본 연구에서는 프리스트레스트 콘크리트용 고품질 그라우트를 개발하기 위한 기초 자료로 활용하기 위해 그라우트의 화학 혼화제로 고성능 감수제와 증점제의 양과 사용방법이 유동성, 블리딩률, 체적변화 및 압축강도에 미치는 영향에 대해 검토하였다. 증점제와 고성능 감수제가 유동성에 미치는 영향에 대해 검토한 결과, 증점제와 고성능 감수제를 조합사용한 경우에는 고성능 감수제의 사용량이 너무 적으면 응집현상이 발생하여 유동성이 저하되나, 고성능 감수제 사용량 0.1% 이상부터 유동성이 크게 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 증점제의 사용량이 증가할수록 블리딩률이 감소하며, 고성능 감수제는 0.05%까지 블리딩률이 증가하나, 0.1%부터 블리딩률이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 고성능 감수제와 증점제를 각각 0.15%를 조합한 그라우트의 배합이 유하시간, 플로우, 블리딩 및 체적변화 측면에서 가장 양호한 것으로 분석되었다.

The thermal conductivity and viscosity(or workability) of graphite-added bentonite grouts and cementitious grouts have been evaluated and compared to determine the suitability of these materials for backfilling vertical boreholes of ground heat exchangers. Seven bentonite grouts from different product sources and a portland cement grout with various mixture ratios were considered in this paper. As a new additive for grout, we choose graphite which has high thermal conductivity. The bentonite grouts indicate that the thermal conductivity and viscosity increase with the content of bentonite or with an addition of Graphite compared with that of silica sand. In case of cementitious grout also increase the thermal conductivity and decrease the workability dramatically though an addition of Graphite. Therefore, we cautiously select the amount of graphite and mixture ratio of bentonite and cement considering not only thermal conductivity but also viscosity for the optimum condition of backfilling material.

In order to characterize the thermal conductivity and viscosity of grout materials used for backfilling ground heat exchangers, nine bentonite grouts and cement grouts being adapted in the United State have been considered in this study. The bentonite grouts indicate that the thermal conductivity and viscosity increase with the content of bentonite or filler (silica sand). In addition, material segregation can be observed when the viscosity of grout is relatively low. The saturated cement grouts appear to possess much higher thermal conductivity than the saturated bentonite grouts, and the reduction of thermal conductivity in the cement grouts after drying specimens is less than the case of the bentonite grouts. Maintaining the moisture content of grouts is a crucial factor in enhancing the efficiency of ground heat exchangers.
