Grouting Fundamentals and Current Practice
June 2-6 , 2008


COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This short course, founded by Emeritus Professor Norbert Schmidt at the University of Missouri-Rolla, and formerly administered by the University of Florida, covers injection grouting as a method to improve soil settlement characteristics and strength properties, and to decrease permeability of soil and rock masses. Equipment and procedures for cement grouting, structural chemical grouting of soil, grouting rock under dams, chemical grouting for water control, grouting of rock anchors, micropiles, deep mixing, diaphragm walls, compaction grouting, lifting and leveling, slab jacking, and grouting for underground structures are major topics covered. Principles and case histories will be presented. There will be a field demonstration of jet grouting, compaction and permeation grouting, grout mixing, flow of ultrafine cement, grouting of rock anchors, annular grouting, overburden drilling, and use of packers.

The course content is directed toward Owners, Engineers and Contractors that have interest in the application of grouting to a broad array of geotechnical and structural construction and remediation techniques. For attendance of the entire course, 3.5 Continuing Education Units will be awarded.
