Abstract
In the present study, the effect of sodium silicate stabilizers on the flowability and soil volume reduction are investigated. Two secondary additives are also admixed in order to assess their effects. Accordingly, a series of viscosity, shrinkage limit, and pH tests were performed to assess the effects of the mentioned cationic reagents as a suitable grout. It is observed that the sodium silicate grout has a viscosity higher than water and causes a very high soil volume reduction during the air curing. The reduction in the soil's volume was reduced significantly when secondary additives were used. The microstructure analysis performed to help understanding the reason of highly soil's volume reduction due to presence of sodium silicate reagent.
