Development of Grouting Method by Electrophoresis

Abstract

Although chemical grouting has been widely used as a simple and useful ground improvement method, it has a difficulty in drilling to fix a grouting tube near or under the ground of structures. If the permeation of grout can be controled, the substructure of buildings and tanks can be improved substantially. So, an attention was paid to the ionic property of metal acrylate that had been developed as a durable grout, and its utility for electrophoresis was examined by attempting to control the permiation electrically.
