Abstract

A procedure is described for a laboratory test to determine if a chemical grout will gel while in motion through a soil mass. An experiment is detailed, using sodium silicate grout catalyzed with glyoxal, to demonstrate the use of the test method and the extrapolation of laboratory scale to field scale parameters.

Keywords:
chemical grouts, gels, sodium compounds, glyoxal, sodium silicate, short gel time
