What is grouting?
Why it is done?

Answer Posted / smruti ranjan

Grout is a construction material used to embed rebars in
masonry walls, connect sections of pre-cast concrete, fill
voids, and seal joints (like those between tiles). Grout is
generally composed of a mixture of water, cement, sand,
often color tint, and sometimes fine gravel (if it is being
used to fill the cores of cement blocks). It is applied as a
thick emulsion and hardens over time, much like its close
relative mortar.Structural grout is used in reinforced
masonry to fill voids in masonry housing reinforcing steel,
securing the steel in place and bonding it to the
masonry.[1] Non-shrink grout is used beneath metal bearing
plates to ensure a consistent bearing surface between the
plate and its substrate.

In an aggregate blending plant, water is sprayed before blending is performed. If the fine content in aggregate is as high as 25 %, will not the fines form into lumps / balls and distribution will not be uniform ? Further, the fines will stick onto the interior of pug mill and its content will be low. The mixed material is stockpiled for weeks / months before use. Will it not be better that blending is done in dry condition, and water will be added only during compaction at site. Please forward your comments and suggestions.
