Dam foundations are generally affected by water leakage and seepage, posing a significant threat to the structure's safety. Such an artificial reservoir unconditionally assumes watertight foundation, as perfect possible, ensure its stability. This brings us back thinking about adequate treatment of foundation through injections grout curtain, which ensures watertightness ground good drainage sy...

In bridges, external post-tension habitually comes as cables placed in ducts for which the residual internal space is (imperfectly) filled with a fluid cement grout. Detecting the problems of injection is not practicable visually from the outside, and no effective auscultation tools were found yet. A recent laboratory experiment established that capacitance probes can be employed, but the main ...

Poor fire resistance of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) restricts its further application in construction structures. In this paper, a novel fibre-reinforced cementitious matrix confined concrete column (FRCMCC) using fireproof grout as the fibre matrix was developed, and experiments were conducted to establish its performance and analyse the mechanical properties under axial compression. The te...

In general, it is neither (a) determinative on these matters, typically simply proposing different options for addressing them, nor (b) complete in its discussion of the significant number of complex conceptual and measurement issues (some of which are outlined in the attached note from Professor Grout) raised by a proposal to undertake analysis of this nature. In these circumstances, it is our...

A study was conducted for the flexural retrofit of an old apartment house composed a reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall structure. For wall, vertical performed to both ends targeting slender improve performance. The materials were steel plate, epoxy, and non-shrink grout, they connected existing using post-installed chemical anchors. at broken retrofitted as much necessary maintain wall’s leng...

Newly developed tile grouts are intended mainly for environment with strong chemical loading. For this reason, resistance was one of the key parameters observed. The grout cast basalt polymer based, in particular epoxide binder and it utilized solidified hazardous wastes as fillers. It is well-known that has high to solutions inorganic substances. However, easily degraded by organic compounds. ...
