17、 testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of this standard arecautioned that compliance with Practice D 3740 does not in itself assurereliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; Practice D 3740provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.5. Apparatus5.1 Specimen MoldsMolds are t

18、o be constructed so thatthey may be longitudinally split to allow the removal ofgrouted specimens without the use of a jacking force. Theymay be sized for the preparation of one or multiple specimens(Multiple specimen molds should be externally marked toindicate desired ends of individual specimens,

19、 as an aid inpreparation). Molds shall produce specimens with a length-to-diameter ratio between two and three, (2.5 is recommended)and shall have a tolerance of 60.01 in. (0.25 mm) on theinternal diameter. Molds will have top and bottom capsdesigned to prevent leakage of grout during pressure injec

20、tion.NOTE 4Satisfactory molds, similar to Fig. 1, may be made from anacrylic tube which has been split longitudinally into three pieces (Fig. 2),which allows for the mold to be assembled and disassembled using siliconrubber seals and hose clamps. Equally satisfactory molds can be made bysplitting tu

21、bes longitudinally with one narrow slit (Fig. 3), which is closedby hose clamps around the tubes and will reopen when the clamps areloosened, thus releasing the specimens. Leakage may be prevented bycovering the slit from the inside with tape. Satisfactory seals of end capsmay be made by threading t

22、he tubing and cap or by external tie rods tohold the caps in place (Fig. 4).5.2 Grout Injection SystemA system composed of thefollowing components (Fig. 5):5.2.1 Mixing Tank, capable of being pressurized to 30.0 psi(207 kPa) without leaking and able to contain all of the groutvolume to be injected i

23、n one grouting operation. The tank willhave an internal mixing device (such as a paddle wheel) or beable to accommodate the use of a magnetic stirrer. The tankwill be fitted with a regulated air-pressure source and pressuregage.NOTE 5Alternatively, proportioning pump sets may be used. Suchequipment

24、may be of advantage when the grout gel times are too short foreffective use of pressure-tank injection equipment.5.2.2 Tubing, capable of transporting the grout from themixing tank to the specimen mold or molds to be injected isrequired. A bleed valve located just before the mold injectioninlet allo

25、ws for air bubbles trapped in the grout lines to beremoved before they move into the specimen.5.3 BalanceA balance or scale of 1000-g capacity, sensi-tive to 0.1 g.5.4 Miscellaneous EquipmentTools such as: spoons,weighing dishes, etc., for handling and weighing soil and anydry grout components, grad

26、uate for measuring water and fluidgrout components, tamping rod or vibrating tool or both forcompaction of specimens to desired density, nylon screenhaving openings small enough to retain the soil to be groutedbut otherwise as large as possible, and scissors for cutting.5.5 Leveling DeviceA leveling

27、 plate attached to a rod ofsufficient length such that the plate can be oriented perpendicu-lar to the long axis of the mold at any height within the mold,capable of fitting inside the mold with approximately 0.25-in.(6.0-mm) clearance.5.6 Moist Room or CabinetA moist room or cabinetcapable of maint

28、aining a temperature of 73.4 6 2.0F (23.0 61.1C) and a relative humidity of not less than 96 % for moistcuring specimens.FIG. 1 Specimen MoldFIG. 2 Three piece multiple specimen moldFIG. 3 Split tube multiple specimen moldD43200425.7 Deviations, from standard curing conditions are to benoted in the

29、report.6. Size of Specimens6.1 Compression test specimens shall be right circularcylinders having a minimum diameter of 1.4 in. (36 mm). Theheight shall be between two and three times the diameter (2.3is recommended).7. Molding Specimens7.1 Either single or multiple specimen molds may be used.7.2 Fo

30、rmation of Soil SpecimenThe mold to be used isassembled (with the top cap removed) and held vertically in astable fashion while the soil sample is prepared using thefollowing procedure:7.2.1 A small piece of screen made of inert material isplaced over the grout inlet at the bottom of the mold to ret

31、ainfilter material.NOTE 6The term “inert” refers to a material which does not interactin any way with the components of the specific grout being used.7.2.2 The lower portion of the mold is filled with a layer(approximately 0.5 to 1 in. (12.5 to 25.4 mm) of coarse sandor pea gravel to serve as a filt

32、er to disperse grout over the entirearea of the specimen.7.2.3 Insert the leveling device and smooth the surface ofthe filter material perpendicular to the long axis of the mold.Remove the leveling device and insert a piece of inert screen,having a diameter no more than 0.1 in. (2.5 mm) smaller than

33、the inside of the mold. Position the screen flat on the filtersurface.7.2.4 The soil to be grouted is placed in layers and com-pacted to the desired density.NOTE 7Compaction may be done by tamping, tapping, or vibration.The method used shall be noted in the report. Satisfactory density controlcan be

34、 obtained by weighing sufficient soil to produce a 1-in. (25-mm)layer at the desired density and compacting this soil until a 1-in. layerthickness is obtained. If a multiple specimen mold is used, an inert screenshall be inserted at the interface between the specimens, as noted on theoutside of the

35、mold. When the top specimen is compacted and the inertscreen is in place, construct the top filter as in 7.2.2 and assemble the topcap.FIG. 4 Schematic Diagram of Specimen Preparation MoldD43200437.2.5 Alternatively, inert porous discs may be placed on topand at the bottom of specimens prior to grou

36、ting, so that thesamples will not require future capping. Discs shall haveporosities equal to or greater than that of the ungroutedspecimen and shall fit the specimen molds with a clearance ofbetween 0.01 to 0.02 in. (0.25 to 0.5 mm). When molds formultiple specimens are used, inert screens shall be

37、 usedbetween adjacent top and bottom discs.8. Grout Injection8.1 Fill the grout injection tank with enough water torepresent three times the volume of voids in the soil specimens,and pump this water through the specimens from the bottom tothe top under a pressure of 5 psi (34.5 kpa) or less to enhan

38、cesaturation. If this process takes less than 30 min, let the sampleremain filled with water until 30 min has elapsed.8.1.1 Tap water may be used whenever its composition issimilar to site ground water, or whenever it does not changegrout characteristics from those obtained with deionized water.Deio

39、nized water may be used, when the use of tap water isquestionable. Site ground water or site supply water may alsobe used.NOTE 8Presaturation is not required for soils expected to be groutedabove the ground water table.8.2 Pour the predetermined quantities of the grout constitu-ents into the empty i

40、njection tank and mix as required, but forless than 20 % of the gel time. Using a mixing propeller or amagnetic stirrer is permissible during the injection period forthose grouts which would be similarly handled in the field.8.3 Apply the design injection air pressure to the injectiontank (10 to 20

41、psi (69 to 138 kPa) depending on grout viscosityand gelling time) and maintain constant during the pumpingprocess. Injection should continue until the effluent shows thatthe water in the specimens has been replaced with grout. Aspecimen of this material shall be taken for a gel time check.8.4 Leave

42、specimens within the molds for at least longenough so that they can be removed without physical damage.For low concentration silicate-based grouts, this period may beas long as 48 h. For acrylamide and acrylate grouts, this periodmay be only a few minutes longer than the gel time.9. Curing Specimens

43、9.1 Leave the specimens in the molds when they are to betested within 16 h. After 16 h, the specimens may be removedfrom the mold provided that they have cured sufficiently to beundamaged by handling. Specimens removed from molds shallbe sealed in plastic or cured in a moist room, as specified insec

44、tion 5.6 from the time of gelation until tested.NOTE 9Other curing environments, such as soaking in water, airdrying, alternate wetting and drying, may be specified depending upon theintended end use of the data. These procedures shall be given in detail inthe report.FIG. 5 Schematic Representation
