Grouting for Steel Structures

Some expansive grout is used for demolition. demolition technologies expansive-grout

Non shrink grouts are used for setting baseplates and equipment. wikipedia on Non-shrink grout

Usually, non-shrink grouts are also non-metallic.....used under beam & girder bearing plates, under steel column leveling plates, and under machinery as passington has already stated above.

Hi,

Expansive agents are type of admixtures. What properties does expansive agent adds when used in grouting?

a bit of internet research today - tells me that it is used to offset initial shrinkage that is caused due to loss of water and chemical reaction.

Thanks,

Saurav.

"In lieu of use of an expansive agent, settlement shall be reduced by extending the mixing period or by delaying the final mixture to minimize the interval between time of placement an initial set and placement the under static pressure. "
I was trying to understand the above statement friends......!!
