grout

1. Mortar containing a considerable amount of water so that it has the consistency of a viscous liquid, permitting it to be poured or pumped into joints, spaces, and cracks within masonry walls and floors, between pieces of ceramic clay, slate, and floor tile, and into the joints between preformed roof deck units.

2. In foundation work, mixtures of cement, cement-sand, clay, or chemicals; used to fill voids in granular soils, usually by a process of successive injection through drilled holes.

Cement grout in rock mass is essentially a two-phase flow process of the granular liquid in the fissures.

The rheological parameters of cement grout are time varying and depend significantly on the grouting time, the water-cement ratio, and the water temperature.

There is a critical velocity value, [V.sub.kp], in the flow process of cement grout. When the velocity of grout diffusion is less than [V.sub.kp], the cement particles begin to precipitate, the sediment at the bottom of the fractured wall gradually increases, and the effective opening of the fracture gradually decreases.

Numerical simulation and optimization of hole spacing for cement grouting in rocks

With cement grout you use very little water; too much will ruin it.

That's why pros generally preferred standard cement grouts.

Unlike cement grouts, it's virtually impermeable to every kind of liquid or chemical, so it won't stain or attract as much mold, mildew and dirt.
