What is grouting? Why it is done?..

Answer / m. ghailani

Grouting is the application that we utilize a mix of cement
and sand along with other material (such as epoxy) to fill
the spaces that may result during some construction
operation. for example, one type of prestressing in
concrete is the post tensioning process. In this process we
install tubes in concrete beam or slab then we cast
concrete, after concrete hardening we insert steel strands
inside tubes for prestressing. the space that will result
between steel strands and inside wall of the tube is filled
afterwards by grouting.
Grouting is mainly used for filling the spaces rether than
to hold any main stresses.

What is grouting? Why it is done?..

Answer / 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.
