معرفی کتاب Practical Handbook Of Grouting

When I entered grouting in 1952, it was a generally undeveloped art with most of the players professing magical powers. Work was performed on a somewhat hit or miss basis with results that varied from excellent to complete failure. Little equipment specifically built for grouting was available, and most work was accomplished with simple water-cement suspensions, typically based on high water:cement ratios subject to large bleed, shrinkage, and poor durability.
Fortunately, that has all changed. Although we still have players that profess magical powers, grouting has become well-established science, and work today can be designed and performed according to sound engineering principles with a good understanding of the processes that occur.
To cover all pertinent subject matter and facilitate its review, the handbook is divided into three parts. Part I discusses the grouting process in a general way and should be of interest to all readers. Here, the many conditions for which grouting can be a solution are described, as are both grouting materials and injection fundamentals. The five general types of grouting—permeation, compaction, fracture, replacement, and fill—are discussed as is the pertinent methodology for the main applications of grouting, in rock, soil, and into concrete and masonry structures. Separate chapters discuss specialized applications such as Grout Jacking, Grouting in Pipes and Conduits, Leakage Control in Structures, Grouting of Underground Structures, and Grouting in Extreme Environments. Following a discussion of the very specialized but seldom used application of Use of Explosives in Grouting, the section ends with a discussion of Emergency Response Grouting.
Part II will be of particular interest to designers, engineers, and those responsible for quality control, although the material presented should be useful to all grouting participants. This part discusses the criteria upon which a grouting program should be based. Design issues including required surface and subsurface investigation are covered, as are monitoring and control of the actual work. Included are the numerous activities that ensure proper performance, including chapters on Understanding Geology, design and specification of grouting, quality control and verification, and Numeric Analysis for Grouting. This part ends with discussion relative to the preparation of contract documents, pay items, and The Games Contractors Play, which must be considered when preparing those documents.
Part III addresses the details of both drilling and grouting equipment and is certainly essential to contractors as well as field personnel. Because many grouters build their own equipment or significantly alter that which is commercially available, the section starts with a chapter on Understanding Power Transmission, which includes thorough coverage of the many facets of direct, hydraulic, and pneumatic power transmission. The specifics of drilling equipment, including details of the many different types of drill rod, casing, bits, and core barrels are provided. In Pump Mechanics, a thorough review of the different types of pumps used, and their relative advantages and limitations is given. Ample space is devoted to discussion of the minor though critical items of equipment, including Delivery Lines and Fittings, Gauges, Gauge Savers, and Flow Meters, and Packers.
Chapter 38 describes some personal experiences as well as some thoughts on the future of grouting technology.
