Microfine Cement and Portland Cement With A High-Range Water-Reducing Agent
Microfine Cement and Portland Cement With A High-Range Water-Reducing Agent
APPLICATION: The grouting of foundations which are permeable but have very
small fractures or apertures requires the use of a grout capable of penetrat-
ing these small voids. When the grout is able to penetrate the foundation
voids, it can be used for consolidation, curtain grouting, and deep foundation
grouting. Cement grouts can be used to decrease the permeability and increase
the shear and compressive strengths of the foundation material.
ADVANTAGES: Grouts made with microfine cement and grouts made with portland
cement and a high-range water-reducing agent are able to penetrate finer frac-
ture systems or smaller apertures than grouts made with portland cement alone.
Cementitious grouts cause less pollution of underground waters and soils than
most chemical grouts.
