FAQ#036 – Which is the right mix for inclinometer casing grouting?
There is not an exact ratio for each kind of soil. It depends from many factors that could change for every geological and geotechnical situation. Anyway the grouting should be similar to the soil even if is not really possible to match both characteristics. Approximate Cement/Water/Bentonite mix ratio are: – for hard and medium soil: […]
FAQ#026 – What can we do when the inclinometer casing ‘float’ during installation?
If the water filled casing is lighter than grout backfill the uplift force of grout varies with the height of the grout column. If the column is short, the uplift force is low and the casing can be held in place by its own weight or with very little down-force applied from the top. When […]
FAQ#023 – For obtaining best results with inclinometer, must the borehole be very close to the vertical?
Borehole should be drilled as close to the vertical as possible, however 2/3 degrees from vertical are normally accepted in specifications.
