ABSTRACT

The flow of grout through a formation is governed by the properties of the formation and the grout, as well as the hydraulic gradient. While much has been written about the theory of flow through porous media, soils are so heterogeneous in nature that it is difficult to apply such theories, and with the exception of Darcy's law, little application has been made to grouting practice. Nonetheless, there are theoretical considerations that can be studied advantageously.
