Inconsistencies and Improvements in HMG Testing and Reporting
Publication: Grouting 2017
Abstract
This paper points out inconsistencies in grout testing and reports. Many of these topics have been presented in the grouting literature–sometimes even furthering the inconsistency. Reporting issues include water to cement ratio and other testing basis. Many tests have traditions that do not necessarily follow the referenced testing standard–1 liter Marsh as an example. Testing discussed includes set time, Marsh, bleed, and pressure filtration. Set time has been measured many ways including coffee cup tilt, while this paper revives and endorses the use of the easily carried pocket penetrometer. The goal is to provide topics to clarify in presenting and evaluating grout test data and to clarify in specifications.
