Abstract

Data have been presented which show that electrical resistance of freshly prepared cement-based grouts is linear with respect to grout-mix ratio over a wide range. The data serve to establish the proof of principle for application to the real time measurement of mix ratio utilizing a meter based on the electrical resistance of the grout. The data affirm that special care must be maintained during design and installation to insure that the electrodes are properly sealed.

Keywords:
