
Material may be batched and mixed on site or in factory to fabricate Grout.

Cement Water Admixtures Additions (silica fume) will be used in grout as material. All
material will be batched, by mass expect water.

Some test will be done on grout material, sieve test, fluidity, bleeding, volume change,
strength, setting time, fluid density.

For production control properties of material will be checked.

Initial type testing will be performed on grout.
BS EN 445: 1996
Grout for pre-stressing tendons Basic requirements
This Standard describes the methods of test for grout specified in EN 447.

One who is conducting test should have good experience.

For checking fluidity, perform immersion test, Cone method.

Perform bleeding test, used to measure the water remaining on surface of grout.

Perform volume change test for changing volume due to segregation and expansion.
Cylinder and con method are used for this.

Perform compression strength test, prisms and cylinders are used for checking
compression strength of grout.
