Abstract
Grouting is a special technique generally applied in civil and geotechnical engineering works all over the world. Sustainable development of the grouting sector can be achieved by careful mixing and application of correct quantities of cement and bentonite compounds. In order to improve the efficiency of grout slurries, laboratory experiments were carried out to study the rheological behaviour and compressive strengths of cement–bentonite admixtures due to different volumes of water used in preparing the slurries. Moreover, the choice of grout slurries depends on the geotechnical characteristics of the geomaterial like voids, open cavities, fractures, particle sizes and fissures. This has led to the development of grouts with low water content, as well as the need to avoid problems of durability encountered due to high content of water or cement which would be necessary to reach the best economic solution. Therefore, water–cement–bentonite admixtures with correct ratios of grout materials are preferred over others due to its low production cost and efficiency.
