A Study on the Effect of Permeation Grouting With Cement and Lime in Sandy Soil

Permeation grouting is an effective way to improve the engineering properties of the sandy soil. In this technique the grout is injected into the ground without disturbing the soil structure. In this investigation an attempt is made to study the comparison of permeation grouting with cement and lime grout. The cement grout and lime grout are injected into the soil specimen by changing weight of cement and lime which will be at 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, & 10% by the soil weight. Grouting is conducted in a tank of size 30 x 30 x 30cm. The grouted samples are tested in triaxial test after 1, 7, & 14 days of curing period. The permeability test also conducted on the grouted samples. The test results revealed that the shear strength properties are improved for grouted soil, where as the permeability is reduced
