ABSTRACT
No chemical admixture self-consolidating grout with high percentage Portland cement replacement with Type-F fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag has a potential for a robust and sustainable commercial application. This chapter focuses on mix design refinement where the parameters of cementitious materials percentages and water to cementitious material ratio were varied. The embodied energy benefit occurs by decreasing or limiting the Portland cement required in a grout mix design. By recycling the waste products through Portland cement replacement a cleaner and more sustainable grout is created by decreasing the embodied energy of production. Self-consolidating grout using widely available waste products has the potential for commercial application. Self-consolidating grout eliminates the need for mechanical equipment saving time and therefore reducing labor costs. A test program was designed and conducted to test the initial grout initial strengths while still maintaining self-consolidating flow properties.
