Abstract

 

One of the most utilized techniques for preventing water leaks in fill dam structures is grouting which modifies the soil properties to increase the endurance, reduce compressibility, and reduces the hydraulically conductive of the original soil. This research focuses on grouting and its effect on improving the structure of dams. In order to construct the projects without experiencing significant settlement, it is necessary to stabilize weak soils to meet technical requirements. Grouting is one of the best solutions for this purpose that has emerged recently is rock/soil stabilization. To support the weight conveyed via the infrastructure, the engineers were compelled to modify the soil's properties. The important issues of grouting can be assigned from the complicated geological circumstances and the interactions between the grout and the fragmented rock mass, the geological and geotechnical characteristics of the rock or soil to be grouted which regarded significant factors affecting the grouting's design and present a significant challenge to the analysis of the grouting diffusion mechanism. For better engineering qualities, a variety of grouting procedures involve injecting dry or wet materials into the ground. Increasing strength or decreasing permeability within the treated bulk of ground are common goals. Conceptually, the simplest method involves introducing a fluid grout into the pore spaces, allowing it to set, and then delivering the necessary qualities. The properties of the grouting materials were analyzed in the field and lab for this study, and the findings point to an improvement both before and after the injection. The goal, intended soil strength, toxicity, and rheology are just a few of the many factors that must be considered for rock/soil improvement.
