Grouting Requirements in Concrete Foundations
Grouting refers to all work to be carried out to properly fill the space between concrete surfaces and base plates of equipment, steel structures or concrete prefabricated elements. In concrete foundations (particularly machine foundations) grouting is used to achieve adequate transfer of horizontal and vertical forces. Generally grouts are used for repair works, bonding of … [Read more...] about Grouting Requirements in Concrete Foundations
