Grouting of Rock Masses
نویسنده
چکیده
The grouting of rock used to be a quite empirical constructional technique aimed to improve somewhat the physical properties of the masses, which are actually part of the civil engineering project. Different "grouting schools" or "ways of thinking" did develop and a considerable number of recipes were dictated by "great old men" and enforced later on by regulations of any kind. Only in the last decades the grouting process started to be studied in a more scientific way and a number of well-founded results are now on hand. Nevertheless, improvements are still possible and even required so to be put into practice in order to optimise the grouting process in adapting it better to the actual rock conditions as well as to the real objectives of the project.

Use of fly-ash slurry in backfill grouting in coal mines
Cave backfill grouting implies grouting of the caving rock mass prior to it being compacted. The filling materials strengthen the caving rock and support the overlying strata to achieve the purpose of slowing down the surface subsidence. The broken roof will fail and collapse during mining operations performed without appropriate supporting measures being taken. It is difficult to perform conti...
متن کاملAnchorage performance of a high-pressure pre-tightening resin anchor with a compressed grouting body
Supports for deep mine roadways located in soft surrounding rock face several problems: difficulty in applying pre-tightening force, low bearing capacity, and poor initial support. To solve these problems, this study proposes a high-pressure pre-tightening resin anchor with a compressed grouting body for use in soft and fractured rock surrounding a deep roadway. Using model experiments, we anal...

This study aims at presenting a numerical model for predicting grout flow and penetration length into the jointed rock mass using Universal Distinct Element Code (UDEC). The numerical model is validated using practical data and analytical method for grouting process. Input data for the modeling, including geomechanical parameters along with grout properties, were obtained from a case study. The...
متن کاملPredicting the Occurrence of Hydraulic Fracture in Grouting Operations Based on the Pressure in the Penetrated Cement Grout
Cement grouting is an operation often carried out to consolidate and seal the rock mass in dam sites and tunnels. The quality and efficiency of a grouting operation depends on various factors such as water take, grout properties and grouting pressure. One of the parameters which have the highest effect is pressure since the application of excessive pressure causes the hydraulic fracture phenome...

A large-scale water capsule was formed after 8 times inrush of mud and water in Yonglian tunnel. The capsule seriously inhabited the construction of the tunnel. By combining with the geological conditions in tunnel site, the causes and characteristics of the water capsule were analyzed. Its spatial location and size were explorated by comprehensive exploration methods. In order to control the w...
