Use of cement for grouting in tufa material

Abstract

Possibilities of using microcement in consolidation grouting are considered in the paper. On-site investigations (carried out in the wider Pliva river basin) and laboratory testing results are presented. An analytical overview of the situation prior to and after the grouting work is given. The authors have reached the following conclusions: grouting is not possible with mixes based on Portland cement, partial penetration is possible by using microcement with 40 mm grinding fineness, and good results can be obtained when microcement with the grinding fineness of 20 mm is used.
