FUNDAMENTAL PROPERTIES OF SILICA-RESIN GROUT BASED ON THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Abstract

This report presents the development process of silica-resin grout that is diffused as the supplementation method of tunnel excavation. The purpose of this material development was to obtain the grouting material in place of urethane grout that has problem in economic or safety. The present research intended to indicate the fundamental properties of silica-resin grout with showing the applicability of some chemical materials for the development. Furthermore, this paper presents an example of the estimation theory for material development in order to give a contribution for civil engineering in the future.
