Grouting involves injecting a slurry or liquid into soil or rock to fill voids and fractures. There are three main modes of grouting: permeation where grout freely flows into voids, compaction where grout remains intact and exerts pressure, and hydraulic fracturing where grout rapidly penetrates fractured zones. Common grout materials include suspensions of cement and water, emulsions of asphalt and water, and chemical solutions. Important grout properties include viscosity, setting time, strength, stability, and toxicity. Common grouting methods are permeation, compaction, jet, and soil fracture grouting. Grouting is used for applications such as seepage control, soil stabilization, vibration control,

This chapter discusses how meteorological conditions influence the transport and dispersion of air pollutants. It covers key topics such as:
1) Wind patterns from global to micro scales that affect pollutant movement.
2) Lapse rates which describe how temperature changes with altitude. Inversions and stable/unstable conditions impact vertical air movement.
3) Maximum mixing depth, the vertical extent of mixing which influences pollutant dispersion and urban air pollution episodes.
Atmospheric stability and plume behaviourAratiSavant
This document discusses various atmospheric factors that influence the dispersion of air pollutants, including:
1. Dilution effect, dispersion, gravitational settling, absorption, and rainout naturally reduce pollutant concentrations.
2. Atmospheric stability is determined by comparing the environmental lapse rate to the adiabatic lapse rate, with stable atmospheres inhibiting dispersion.
3. Other factors like wind, pressure systems, temperature inversions, moisture, and maximum mixing depth also impact pollutant plume behavior and dispersion.
Air pollutants can damage materials through five main mechanisms: abrasion, deposition and removal, direct chemical attack, indirect chemical attack, and corrosion. Certain pollutants like sulfur dioxide can directly react with and deteriorate materials like marble or silver. Other materials absorb pollutants and are damaged when the pollutants chemically change. Corrosion is an electrochemical process that affects ferrous metals when facilitated by moisture and pollutants. The rate of deterioration depends on factors like moisture, temperature, sunlight, and air movement.

Environmental Engineering (air pollution and its types)Latif Hyder Wadho
Pollution is the introduction of substances or energy into the environment that cause harm. More sophisticated lifestyles, growing population needs, and increased economic activity have led to greater pollution over time. Air pollution occurs when noxious gases and small particles contaminate the air. Major causes of air pollution include emissions from vehicles, industry, power plants, and other sources which can harm human health and the environment through respiratory diseases, acid rain, ozone depletion, and global warming. Laws and initiatives aim to control air pollution through emissions standards, cleaner fuels, and new technologies.
Bulk sand increases in volume due to moisture content forming water films around sand particles. Maximum bulking occurs at 6-10% moisture content, with finer sands bulking more. Beyond 20% moisture content, the volume equals dry sand as water films break. An experiment showed 25% bulking when wet sand was added to a container, compared to dry sand.

Dewatering process and control in building projectsUmar Faruk
Dewatering is the process of controlling groundwater levels during construction by pumping water out of excavation sites. There are several techniques used for dewatering including pumping methods like sump pumping, well points, and deep wells. Exclusion methods prevent water from entering sites using techniques like ground freezing, sheet piling, slurry trench cut-off walls, and grouted cut-offs. The appropriate dewatering method depends on factors such as ground permeability, excavation size and depth, and proximity to existing structures. Common pumping techniques are sump pumping, well points, and deep wells which use pumps in shallow wells, closely spaced shallow wells, or widely spaced deep wells respectively. Exclusion methods form impermeable
This document discusses various methods for dewatering excavation sites, including open dewatering systems using sumps and ditches, well point systems, deep well systems, vacuum systems, electro-osmosis, freezing methods, and grouting. It explains what dewatering is, why it is required, outlines different dewatering methods and considerations for selecting a method based on the size and depth of excavation, soil characteristics, and other factors. The key methods covered are well point systems, deep well systems, and freezing, with explanations of how each works and when it is suitable.
Grouting and guniting are construction techniques used to fill voids and apply concrete coatings. Grouting involves placing a cementitious mixture into cavities to strengthen structures, fill gaps, and stop leaks. There are different types of grouts for various applications. The guniting process involves mixing cement and sand then projecting it at high pressure onto surfaces using compressed air. It can be used on vertical, overhead and horizontal surfaces to rehabilitate concrete structures. Both grouting and guniting are effective techniques for repairing and strengthening buildings and infrastructure.
This document discusses several special concreting techniques:
- Pumped concrete is concrete that can be pushed through a pipeline and must have a design that prevents blockages.
- Shortcrete or gunite is a mortar or fine concrete pneumatically projected at high velocity, used for thin sections with less formwork.
- Underwater concrete requires special mixes placed via bagging, buckets, tremie pipes, or grouted aggregates to prevent water intrusion.
- Other techniques include pre-packed concrete placed underwater and special considerations for hot/cold weather concreting. Proper mix design and placement methods are essential for successful implementation of special concreting applications.
Dewatering is the removal of water from solid material or soil by wet classification, centrifugation , filtration, or similar solid-liquid separation processes, such as removal of residual liquid from a filter cake by a filter press as part of various industrial processes.
The presentation discussed various methods of dewatering on construction sites, including sump pumping, wellpoint systems, ejector wells, ground freezing, and deep wells. It described the purpose of dewatering, factors that influence selection of methods, and advantages and limitations of each approach. The methods vary in their suitability based on soil type, required depth of drawdown, and other site-specific factors. Proper dewatering is important for construction efficiency and stability.
The document summarizes key aspects of prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) used for soil improvement. It discusses how PVDs work by shortening drainage paths in clay soils to accelerate consolidation from preloading. The document covers PVD installation methods, factors affecting their performance over time, advantages over sand drains, and applications such as embankment stabilization. It also reviews several studies on PVD performance in soft soil improvement projects.
Week 01 Preliminaries Works, Soil Investigate & Ground Water Controlnik kin
The document discusses site preparation for construction projects, including site investigation, soil investigation, and ground water control. Site investigation involves collecting data about the site, including topography, hydrology, and existing infrastructure. Soil investigation determines site suitability and foundation design through methods like trial pits, augers, and sampling. Ground water control includes temporary dewatering methods like sumps and wellpoints, and permanent barriers like grouted membranes, contiguous piling, and diaphragm walls. Preliminaries works establish temporary facilities and ensure safety/compliance for a construction project.
The document discusses different methods for underwater concrete placement, specifically the tremie method. It describes how the tremie method works, including using a watertight pipe filled from the top and emptied from the bottom to place concrete underwater without displacing water. Specifications for concrete mixes suitable for tremie placement are also provided, noting aggregate size, cement type, water-cement ratio, and admixture requirements.
Dewatering is the artificial removal of groundwater or surface water to allow for construction. It plays a vital role in excavation by controlling hydrostatic pressure and soil stability. There are three main dewatering methods: active dewatering uses pumping, interception prevents water from reaching the excavation, and isolation excludes water via cut-off walls. Proper method selection depends on soil type and desired drawdown. Without control, dewatering can cause ground subsidence, flooding, or structural collapse due to increased soil loading.
Groundwater can significantly impact construction projects and cause failures if not properly addressed. There are various techniques to control groundwater, including subsurface drainage systems, underdrains, and permanent barriers. Subsurface drains and underdrains intercept groundwater before it reaches structural layers and are effective when properly designed and installed. Other options for controlling groundwater include French drains, sump pits, retaining walls with filters, and wick drains. Both temporary and permanent techniques are used to control groundwater during and after construction.
Grouting is carried out for three main reasons: 1) to reduce leakage under dams, 2) to reduce uplift pressures, and 3) to strengthen jointed rock foundations. There are two main types of grouting: 1) consolidation grouting which is used to strengthen foundation rock with low pressure injections, and 2) curtain grouting which is used to reduce both leakage and uplift pressures with deeper injections near the heel of a dam. Grouting methods include intrusion, compaction, permeation, jet, and compensation grouting which are used for different soil types and purposes like seepage control, groundwater control, and soil stabilization.
Grouting is the injection of a liquid into cracks and voids in rock masses to improve their properties. The most common improvement methods are grouting and rock bolting. Grouting materials include cement grouts, chemical grouts, and bituminous grouts. Cement grouts use a mixture of portland cement, water, and additives to fill voids, while chemical grouts are solutions that react to form gels and bituminous grouts use asphalt emulsions. Grouting operations involve grouting fractured rock masses and fault zones using methods like permeation, compaction, pressure, and chemical grouting.

Rehabilitation and strengthening of existing structuresShahrukh Niaz
Rehabilitation and strengthening of existing structures involves repair techniques, underpinning, and addressing causes of damage. Repair restores structures to their previous condition while rehabilitation considers strength. Retrofitting modifies structures to increase resistance to seismic activity. Common repair techniques include crack injection, routing and sealing cracks, adding reinforcement, prestressing steel, and grouting. Underpinning strengthens foundations by extending them deeper or wider. Mass concrete and mini-pile underpinning are two types. Causes of damage to masonry buildings include heavy weight, low tensile strength, brittle behavior, and weak structural connections.

Expansive soil & its improvement techniquesUmarSaba1
The document discusses expansive soils, which are soils that swell significantly when water is absorbed and shrink when water is removed. It identifies different types of clay minerals that make up expansive soils, including kaolinite, montmorillonite, and illite. It describes various tests used to identify and characterize expansive soils, such as free swell tests, differential free swell tests, and swelling pressure tests, which measure how much the soil expands with water and the pressure required to prevent expansion.
Lateral earth pressure Theories Design of retainingUmarSaba1
Foundations carry and distribute loads from structures to the ground to prevent excessive settlement. There are several foundation types including strip, pad, and raft foundations which can bear directly on the ground or be supported by piles. The choice depends on ground conditions and the structure's layout and loading. Pad footings support single columns while strip footings support load-bearing walls or closely spaced columns. Raft foundations distribute loads over a large area for poor soil conditions. The document provides an example of designing a square pad footing to support a column based on loadings and soil capacity.
Crack width measurement & Cracks In Concrete.pptxUmarSaba1
Cracks in concrete structures can be either structural or non-structural. Structural cracks endanger safety while non-structural cracks are mainly caused by internal stresses and do not impact safety directly. The main causes of non-structural cracks are moisture changes, thermal movement, elastic deformation, creep, chemical reactions, foundation movement, and growth of vegetation. Moisture changes cause concrete and masonry materials to expand when wet and contract when dry. Thermal movement results from the expansion and contraction of materials with temperature changes. Elastic deformation and creep cause slow deformation over time under sustained loads. Chemical reactions can cause expansion and weakening of materials. Foundation settlement and vegetation roots can also apply stresses leading to cracks.
Crack In Concrete & Crack width measurement.pptxUmarSaba1
The document discusses cracks in concrete structures. It begins by classifying cracks as structural or non-structural and further classifying cracks by width. Common causes of cracking are then outlined, including plastic shrinkage, drying shrinkage, thermal stresses, chemical reactions, weathering, poor construction practices, and design errors. Methods for evaluating cracks, selecting repair procedures, and repair methods such as epoxy injection, routing and sealing, reinforcing, and cement grouting are also summarized.
This document provides an overview of expansive soils, including their mineral composition, interaction with water, and identification and treatment. Key points include:
- Expansive soils like clay can swell up to 30% when absorbing water due to their small particle size and large surface area.
- Important clay minerals include kaolinite, montmorillonite, and illite, which differ in their layered crystal structure and water absorption properties.
- Identification methods include tests of free swell percentage, differential free swell, and swelling pressure.
- Treatment options are soil replacement, moisture barriers, soil stabilization techniques like lime or cement addition, and specialized foundation designs isolated from swelling soils.
Lateral earth pressure Theories & Design of retaining.pptxUmarSaba1
This document discusses lateral earth pressure theories and design of retaining walls. It defines lateral earth pressure as the force exerted by a soil mass on an earth-retaining structure, such as a retaining wall. The document outlines Rankine's theory of lateral earth pressure, which distinguishes between active pressure when a wall moves away from soil and passive resistance when a wall moves toward soil. It also addresses effects of submergence, surcharge loading, and provides two examples of calculating lateral earth pressures.
The document provides guidelines on academic integrity and preventing plagiarism. It defines plagiarism and lists examples such as copying others' work, copy-pasting from multiple sources, and presenting collaborative work as independent. Punishments for plagiarism include repeating assignments, receiving zero marks, warnings, or dismissal. The document is presented in both English and Arabic.
Immediate and time-dependent losses cause the prestress in tendons to decrease over time. Immediate losses occur when prestress is transferred to the concrete and include elastic shortening, wedge draw-in, friction, and member deformation. These can account for around 10% loss of jacking force. Time-dependent losses gradually reduce prestress further over the life of the structure, through mechanisms like creep, shrinkage, and relaxation. By the end of a structure's design life, total losses may reach around 25% of the initial jacking force. Friction in post-tensioning also causes losses along the length of the tendon.

The document also covers flexural design basics like assuming a triangular stress distribution, calculating resistance moment using prestressing steel properties and depth parameters, and working through examples to determine moment capacity.
This document discusses the analysis of singly and doubly reinforced concrete beam sections. It begins by defining singly reinforced sections as having tension reinforcement only, while doubly reinforced sections have reinforcement in both tension and compression zones. Design steps are provided for both section types, including calculating loads, moments, reinforcement areas, and shear reinforcement. Formulas and assumptions used in the design process are also outlined. The goal is for students to learn to properly design reinforced concrete beam sections based on given structural loads and material properties.
This document discusses the analysis of singly and doubly reinforced concrete beam sections. It provides definitions and design approaches for singly reinforced, doubly reinforced, and flanged beam sections. The key steps in the design process are outlined, including calculating loads and moments, checking for section type, sizing tension and compression reinforcement, and designing shear reinforcement. Design examples are provided for a singly reinforced and a doubly reinforced concrete beam according to BS 8110 design code standards.
The document provides information on the bisection method and Newton-Raphson method for finding roots of equations. The bisection method involves repeatedly bisecting the interval between two values where the function changes sign to zero in on a root. The Newton-Raphson method estimates successive approximations of a root by taking the tangent line of the function at the current point. An example applies the bisection method to find the depth a floating ball is submerged.
The document discusses procurement planning for World Bank projects. It explains that procurement planning involves identifying procurement needs, deciding on contracting strategies, considering technical and supply factors, packaging of items, and choosing procurement procedures. The planning process also includes developing a procurement schedule that assesses lead times, administrative requirements, and contract performance to determine critical paths. The resulting procurement plan is an important tool that serves as an execution guide for procurement and a basis for reviews and audits.

Sri Guru Hargobind Ji - Bandi Chor Guru.pdfBalvir Singh
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
• On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
people’s freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
• He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days

GROUTING
Injection of a slurry or a liquid solution into a soil or rock
formation
The grout subsequently hardens - increases the strength and
decreases compressibility and permeability.
3. MODES OF GROUTING
3
Permeation or Penetration- Grout flows into soil voids
freely with minimal effect
Compaction or Controlled displacement- Grout
remains more or less intact as a mass and exerts
pressure on soil
Hydraulic Fracturing or Uncontrolled displacement-
Grout rapidly penetrates into a fractured zone created
when the grout pressure is greater than tensile
strength of soil or rock
6. Groutability
6
To obtain satisfactory performance, grain size
distribution should be known because it shall show
the relationship between the grout particle size and
the void dimensions.
Pumping pressure should not be large enough for
particles of soil to be disturbed.
Grouting pressure is limited to 20 kN/m2
Quality of a grout must be sufficiently fluid to enter
the soil quickly
The movement should not be too fast
Rate of injection of a grout depends on
Viscoity of the grout
Permeability of soil
Shear strength of soil

Desirable properties of grout
Suitable viscosity
High Viscosity for Coarse and Moderately Permeable
soils
Low Viscosity for Fine grained soils of low
permeability

Stability
Capacity of grout to remain in a fluid state and not
segregate into separate components
Setting Time
Time required for the grout to set into cemented mass
or gel
Early setting causes difficulty in the grout reaching its
destination
Late setting causes the grout being washed away if
seepage is occuring through soil
Permanence
Resistance the grout possesses against being
displaced from the soil voids with time
Toxicity
Capacity of grouts to contaminate the grout water
10. GROUT MATERIALS
10
Suspensions – Grout particles in suspension in a
liquid medium- Cement+ Water, Clay etc
Emulsions – Minute droplets of liquid in
suspension- Asphalt or bitumen with water
Solutions – Liquid homogenous mixture of two or
more materials- Chemical Grouts
11. SUSPENSION GROUTS-GROUTING WITH
SOIL
GR > 20
Soil can be used to fill up voids in coarse grained soils
Soil used as grout- very fine grained
Clay grouts – to reduce permeability
Kaolinite and Illite based clays – low viscosities – filler grouts
Bentonite – to control viscosity strength and flow properties
Mud jacking – to raise pavement slabs and to underpin shallow
building foundations
12. SUSPENSION GROUTS-GROUTING WITH
CEMENT
Uitable for cracks or voids wider than 0.2 mm
Usually formed from OPC and Water
Water cent ratio – 0.5:1 to 5:1
Rapid hardening cement – prefered in ground
with flowing water
Super sulphated cement – for fissured rocks
Admixtures such as bentonite used to keep the
cement particles in suspension
Seepage cut off beneath dams, ground water
control
13. EMULSION GROUTS – ASFALT
EMULSION
Anionic or cationic asphaltic globules are
manufactured by choosing proper emulsifying
agent
The globules (1 to 2 µm dia) along with water
used as grout to fill soil voids and rock fissures
Rock fissues of 10 µm size and medium silts can
be grouted
Slow setting emulsions generally chosen – they
can travel longest distnce into the material
14. 14
SOLUTION GROUTS – CHEMICAL GROUTING
Chemical grouts like silicates and acrylic resins
Solidify by chemical reaction
Seepage barriers, stabilisation of soils around
tunnels
Principle of injection-permeation grouting
17. 17
ONE SHOT
SYSTEM
All chemicals are injected
together after premixing
Setting time is controlled
by varying the catalyst
concentration according
to the grout concentration,
water composition and
temperature
TWO SHOT
SYSTEM
One chemical is injected
followed by injection of a
second chemical which
reacts with the first to
produce a gel which
subsequently hardens
This is slower and require
higher injection pressure
and more closely spaced
grout holes
18. Grouting Procedure
18
Depending on the material to be grouted (Rock, natural
soil or fill), its quality and the purpose of grouting, a well
planned procedure has to be adopted to attain the
desired result
Ground Investigation
Grout Holes pattern
Grouting Plant and Equipment
Grouting sequence

19. 19
Ground Investigation
Provides information regarding the ground- whether
it can be grouted or not
Choice of grouts-type and amount
Include a geological survey, Drilling boreholes,
Collection of samples for laboratory tests
20. Grout Holes Pattern
20
Based on the nature of work, the number of drill
holes, depth and pattern to be decided
Follows a grid pattern such that radius of penetration
is sufficient to cause slight overlapping between
adjacent holes
21. Grouting Plant and Equipment
21
Measuring Tank – To control the volume of grout
injected
Mixer – To mix grout ingredients
Agitator – To keep solid particles in suspension until
pumped
Pump – To draw the grout from the agitator to deliver to
the pumping line
Control fittings – To control the injection rate and
pressure so that the hole can be regularly blend with
water and thin grout
Piping connected to grout holes
25. GROUTING SEQUENCE
GROUTING
FROM BOTTOM
A grout hole of 50 to 75 mm diameter is
drilled to full planned depth.
In rigid soils or in intact rock strata a self
expanding packer is placed directly above the
lowest zone and grout is pumped in.
The procedure is repeated after the packer is
raised and fixed to the next zone
Thus the drill hole is grouted successively
upwards
GROUTING
FROM TOP
Holes are drilled down to the seam closest to
the surface and grouting is carried out.
Holes are then cleaned by washing and
drilling continued to the next seam.
Grouting process is then effected.
Subsequent washing followed further drilling
and repeated grouting are done until the
entire operation is completed. [Fig. 6.11(a)]
Grouting is facilitated in a particular zone by
fixing packers on the top and bottom. [Fig.
6.11(b)]
27. Permeation Grouting
27
• Grout fills the pores without any volume
changes. Include Cement grouts, bentonite
grouts and chemical grouts.
• Grouting into an open hole in self-supporting
ground through pipes at the surface through an
injection pipe held in place in the hole or casing
by a packer.
• From a pipe driven into the ground and
withdrawn as injection proceeds
• Through a pipe left in place in the ground as with
a tube
30. Applications of Permeation
Grouting

Seepage Control
For making vertical seepage barriers beneath
hydraulic structures
Stoppage of seepage through joints of underground
structures such as tunnel lining/ basement wall, etc.
Soil Solidification and Stabilization
For stabilization of soil around tunnels and shafts
31. 31
Compaction grouting
A good option if the foundation of
an existing building requires
improvement, since it is possible
to inject the grout from the side
or at an inclined angle to reach
beneath the building
A bulb shaped grouted mass is
formed.
Soil-cement grout
Can be performed as
pretreatment before the structure
is built
32. Applications of Compaction Grouting
32
Densification of loose stratum
i) underlying dense soil
ii) beneath foundations or floor slab-slab jacking
Filling of large underground cavities
Densification of collapsible soils
Densification of soils showing organic
degradation
33. 33
Jet Grouting
Involves the injection of low viscosity liquid grout into
the pore spaces of granular soils. This creates
hardened soils to replace loose liquefiable soils
Jet grouting is used as replacement technique, in which
soils ranging from silt to clay and weak rocks can be
treated
This method consists of lowering a drill pipe into a 150
mm dia bore hole
The drill pipe is specially designed which
simultaneously conveys pumped water, compressed air
and grout fluid.
Three systems of jet grouting
Single, Double & Triple
36. Triple Jet Grouting
36
At the bottom end of the pipe two nozzles are
provided at 500 mm apart.
The upper nozzle (1.8 mm diameter) delivers
water surrounded by a collar of compressed air to
produce a cutting jet.
The grout is delivered through the lower nozzle (7
mm dia)

Encapsulating contaminants in the ground to
reduce or prevent contamination off site or into
sensitive water systems
Providing lateral or vertical barriers to
contaminant flow
Introducing reactive materials into the ground to
treat specific contaminants by creating permeable
reactive barriers
44. Circuit Grouting
44
Based on the principle
of grouting from the
top downwards.
A drill hole is bored to
the depth of the
bottom zone and grout
is pumped down the
grout pile and returned
up the drill hole.
45. Point Grouting
45
In shallow work of 10 to 12 m deep the grout is injected from the
points of a driven or jetted lance.
Injections are delivered at pre-determined positions along the line
of drive and also on the return in systems where a second reacting
grout ingredient is to be placed independently of the initial injection.
46. Electrokinetic Injection
46
Stabilization of silty soils may not be possible by chemical or
admixture perhaps because of lack of confinement or the necessity
to avoid disturbance of the ground.
Chemical stabilizers are introduced at the anode and carried
toward the cathode by electro-osmosis.
Direct current electrical gradients of the order of 50 to 100 Volts/m
are required.
47. 47
Soil Fracture Grouting
Root-like zones of grout material is formed in the
soil mass
Sleeved pipe grouting technique is used
Used for restoration of verticality of a tilted building
51. General Applications of Grouting

structures
Stoppage of seepage through joints of underground
structures such as tunnel lining/ basement wall, etc.
Soil Solidification and Stabilization
For stabilization of soil around tunnels and shafts
Vibration Control
Chemical grouting through machine foundation soil will
alter the elastic properties of the soil and results in
increased rigidity of the base resulting in decrease of
amplitudes.
