Download or read book Grouting Theory and Practice written by E. Nonveiller and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-06-11 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grouting is a construction process by means of which the highly erratic permeability and deformability of foundation rock and soil are homogenized. The main parameter governing the design and construction of grouting works is the permeability of the rock or soil, which is established by means of field permeability tests. This book assembles information on rock and soil grouting from various sources, together with the author's personal experience on several grouting projects. Some aspects of permeability testing of rock and soils are elaborated, and the use of theoretical ground water percolation studies for clarification of design options for grout curtains are presented. The results achieved by grouting are presented and analysed on examples of constructed grouting works (curtains, tunnels, foundations, lifting of structures).Particulars of the performance of the permeability tests and their evaluation are studied in some detail, since they can very much distort the results obtained, and thus lead to erroneous design assumptions. Systematic grouting and adjustment of the injection process to the development of grout consumption and pressure during injection is discussed in connection with the achievement of the required permeability standard. The application of grouting to reduce the permeability and the deformability of the foundation of dams and hydrotechnical structures is presented, together with a number of illustrative examples. Characteristics of contact and consolidation grouting of dam foundations and tunnel linings are described. The possibilities and examples of rock prestressing by means of grouting are reported, and the results from several applications are discussed. Examples of lifting and levelling leaning structures by means of grouting are also reviewed. The book is illustrated by 180 drawings and 20 photographs, and a list of symbols used in the formulae, plus a glossary of specific terms used in grouting, are included at the end of the book.The book is intended for organizations, civil engineers and geologists involved in the exploration, design, construction and supervision of large dams, hydroelectric power projects, tunnels and other underground works. Teachers and students of civil engineering courses in geotechnics, building and construction, rock mechanics, soil mechanics, engineering geology, and some aspects of mining engineering will also find the book useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the permeability of the foundation of dams, how to determine their state and how to tighten permeable rock to achieve safe foundations for large dams. It includes theoretical fundamentals as well as lessons learned in their application in practical construction work in eminent projects. It also discusses aspects such as the permeability of the rock mass at the dam site, including the hydraulic characteristics of water conducting openings and their effect on the reliability of water pressure test (WPT) results; the influence of particular geological factors on the hydrogeological regime at the site, as well as the hydrofracturing behavior and individual groutability; and the relationship between quantities of grout takes and the degree of impermeabilization.

Download or read book Practical Handbook of Grouting written by James Warner and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2004-04-05 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first complete handbook for every aspect of grouting technology The Practical Handbook of Grouting offers the most comprehensive, single-source reference covering all facets of grouting technology, including its application for control of water movement, strengthening of both soil and rock, and a wide range of structural applications. Richly illustrated with hundreds of informative photographs, graphs, and figures, this handbook provides invaluable advice on all stages of a project from initial investigation and design, through execution, monitoring, and quality control. Broad coverage in the Practical Handbook of Grouting begins with a general overview of the topic and includes design and quality control issues, injection techniques, and a thorough discussion of drilling and grouting equipment, with practical focus on building custom equipment. Enriched with real-world insights from the author, the Practical Handbook of Grouting features the latest information on: * Cementitious and noncementitious grouts, including new admixtures and polymers * Special construction requirements, including grouting inside structures, underground spaces, in extreme environments, and for emergency response support * Grouting equipment, including pumps, mixers, agitators, and delivery and monitoring systems * Pump mechanics, including the advantages and limitations of all pump types * "The Games Contractors Play," including marketing efforts, proposal trickery, on-the-job issues, and defending bad work Complete with an extensive bibliography and references, the Practical Handbook of Grouting is a valuable resource for civil, structural, and geotechnical engineers, geologists, contractors, and students in related fields.

This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pressure grouting is an essential construction procedure that is practiced by contractors and engineers around the world. Used since the 19th century, grouting reduces the amount of leakage through rock for dam foundations and underground works. It also strengthens soils to provide a stable foundation to support the weight of surface structures, such as buildings, bridges, and storage tanks. In addition, it is frequently used to repair deteriorated concrete and to produce concrete underwater. This manual introduces various types of equipment employed in pressure grouting applications performed in geotechnical works and examines the operating principles and maintenance issues relative to each equipment type. The term pressure grouting encompasses a wide variety of applications and operations, including dam foundation grouting, soil stabilization and permeation, consolidation and compaction grouting (except low-mobility), water cutoff and structural stabilization in rock tunnels, deep foundations via drilled piers, underwater concrete, structural concrete repairs, raising of settled slabs and structures, rock and soil anchors, and machine foundations and bases. The applications for pressure grouting operations are almost limitless, as the equipment can be employed anywhere fluid grout can be used. Primarily intended for machine operators and maintenance mechanics, this manual will also prove useful to specification writers, engineers, contractors, purchasing managers, and others who have a responsibility to specify, acquire, operate, or maintain pressure grouting equipment. Topics covered include mixers, agitators, pumps, delivery systems and accessories, but not electronic monitoring and other ancillary equipment.
