WATER PROOFING TREATMENT USING GROUTING PROCEDURE OF RETAINING WALL

-

 GROUTING PROCEDURE OF RETAINING WALL:-

 Construction & Honeycomb Treatment:-

     Chasing open the joints in ‘’V’’ shape/ ‘’U’’ shape groove of required width and depth as per site conditions.


  • Chasing open the junction of RCC and the masonry surfaces, sealing the groove with repair mortar C:M with Conplast WL equivalent @ 150 ml per bag of cement etc.  
  • The minimum dosage is 125ml and the maximum is 200ml per 50kgs of cement. If maximum dosage is used a minimum of 15% water should be reduced to ensure no loss in strength.
  • The required quantity of Conplast WL is measured and stir into the first or second bucket of water. Conplast WL water mixture shall be added to the concrete or mortar and mixed thoroughly. Mixing shall be continued and further water shall be added until the required work ability is obtained.

Grouting:-

Cementious Grout:-

·    Providing and applying neat cement slurry grouting (Cebex 100) including expandable additive as directed by consultants in proportion of 1:1 by weight with the pressure grouting method by drilling and providing PVC socket pipes around the concrete surface junction etc. and sealing the drill with grout around the socket, to fill up the cracks, fissure, cavities, void, honeycomb, to make substrate consistent, homogeneous and resistant to water seepage / penetration and sealing top of the socket with grout top 1’’ depth etc.



·      Providing and fixing ‘’NRV packers’’ including the drilling holes of 14 mm dia., fixing packers and sealing the leak paths surrounding using rapid setting mortar.

Polyurethane Grout:

  • Injecting single component, closed cell, low-viscosity, hydrophobic, hydro-active, rigid /flexible polyurethane injection grout using high pressure injection Pump which includes cleaning of pump with solvent after every injection, Machinery charges, oil and other consumables like thinner, adopters, removing packers after injection, cleaning region and making the surface good etc. complete.
  •  Areas to be grouted should be prepared to ensure substrates are clean, sound, and then pre-wetted. The unrestrained surface area of the grout must be kept to a minimum. Place the grout within 20 minutes of mixing to gain the full benefit of the expansion process. Adopt usual placing or pumping procedures ensuring a continuous operation.

    Nice Blogs!
    Thanks for sharing this informative blog.
    If you want to add stability and extra strength to your residence, a high quality retaining wall construction in Brisbane will be a good idea. It will not only save your foundations from soil erosion but also safeguard your property against flooding. At Cropper Bros Retaining Walls & Fences we can help you in building a strong retaining wall at market competitive rates. We not only safeguard your property but also try to give it a stylish look. No matter you have a brand new or old place; we would build a wall so that no one will judge that it was built after the construction of the building.

IMPORTANT MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS

Important mechanical properties of materials:- ELASTICITY:-  In this property body regains completely its original shape & size then it is called perfectly elastic body. Elastic limit marks the partial break down of elasticity beyond which removal of load result in degree of permanent deformation. Steel, aluminium, copper, may be considered to be perfectly elastic within certain limit   ·      Plasticity:- The characteristics of material by which it undergoes inelastic strain beyond those at the elastic limit is known as plasticity.   This property is particularly useful in operation of pressing and forging. When large deformation occurs in a ductile material loaded in plastic region, the material is said to undergo plastic flow. Ductility:- It is the property of material in which a material can be drown out longitudinally to a reduced section, under the action of tensile force.   A ductile material must possess a high degr...

Important points & characteristics of good concrete.

  The volume of one 50 kg bag of cement is 34.5 litres   About 19 litres (38%) of water is required to hydrate 50 kg cement in sealed container.   The ordinary Portland cement when tested for its compressive strength at 28 days   according to the method describe by the standard specification, yields a minimum compressive strength of 43N/mm2 is called 43 grade  cement . Too fine cement is susceptible to air set and deteriorates earlier.   The setting time of cement can be controlled by varying the quantity of gypsum in cement. Sometime with the addition of water to cement, a premature set occurs within 5 minutes. This is called false set an is due to  the presence of anhydrous gypsum which is formed due to grinding of gypsum with too hot clinker .this is not to be worried .continuous mixing aggregates , cement and water will break the false set without  harming any property of the concrete .  The ability of cement to mainta...

  Brick:- Basically brick is a type of block which is used for the construction of wall and other building components. Classification of bricks - The brick can broadly be divided into two categories ·          1. Unburnt brick :         T he unburnt or sun dried bricks are dried  with the help of heat received from sun after the        process of moulding .These bricks can only be used in the construction of temporary and     cheap structure.  Such bricks should not be used at places exposed to heavy rains. ·            ·          2 . Burnt bricks- These are classified in four categories. ·         (i) First class Bricks:-   These bricks are table – moulded and of standard shape and they are burnt in kilns.   The surfaces and edges of ...
