A sealing agent shall be applied around thehole in the base plate to prevent leakage of grout from thesample during casting.5.3.

18、1 The grout shall be made solely from fresh portlandcement conforming to Specification C 150, Type I with awater/cement ratio of 0.45. Water shall be potable. The cementshall be added to the water. Mixing of the grout shall continueuntil the grout is free of lumps and undispersed cement. Thegrout th
