Ultrafine Cement in Pressure Grouting presents the technical and
practical information required by engineers to plan and implement
grouting programs that are cost effective and technically sound. As a
key component of modern grouting programs, ultrafine cement is an ideal
solution for geotechnical engineers and construction contractors who are
grappling with the challenges of managing costs while developing sites
that may be less than ideal. Increasingly, the virtues of ultrafine
cement lead engineers and contractors to use it rather than the
less-expensive portland cements. The authors concisely define ultrafine
cement, describe its engineering properties, and explain its
manufacture, packaging, and storage. Mixing and pumping procedures and
quality control issues are covered, as well as recommendations for
specifying ultrafine cement in contracts. An appendix offers 16 brief
project descriptions. Ultrafine Cement in Pressure Grouting is a
fundamental reference that will be consulted frequently by geotechnical
engineers who specify grouting materials for construction projects.
