Abstract

Grouting technology is versatile accepted soil improvement technique mostly used in India either for restoration problems to increase special soil parameters and to stop leakage in earthen and rock fill dams. The use of Microfine cement grout along with sodium silicate can easily deal with the problems associated with ground improvement, toxicity & costliness of chemical grouts. The aim of the present research is to develop proper grout mix design using various water cement ratios and various percentage of sodium silicate along with Microfine cement (fineness = 6000 cm2/gm). This paper focuses the effect of sodium silicate on rheological properties of MFC grout.
