Analysis and modeling of grouting and its application in civil engineering

Abstract

Grouting is a popular ground treatment technique, but not so many engineers are familiar with it. And they often have misconception about grouting. The project is to clarify on one hand the basics of grouting, and then on the other hand try to provide a full coverage of all types of grouting mechanisms in practice. For each grouting mechanism, a brief discussion is given to its design considerations, construction and application. Finally, finite element method is used to analyze and model grouting to confirm the extent of grouting in terms of treatment zone and degree of improvement of ground properties required.
