Introduction
Limited Mobility Grouting is a North American Practice
It began as Compaction Grouting in California in the
1950’s
New Applications of the Technology Broadened its use
beyond just compaction to include
Void filling
Reinforcement
Structural Supports

LIMITED MOBILITY GROUTING
“The injection of a stiff grout that does not mix with or penetrate the soil, often displaces the substrate into which it is injected, and does not travel very far from the point of
injection”
Evolved from new applications of Compaction Grouting technology
Through control of rheology and injection techniques developed for compaction grouting, the ability to create specific shapes and controlled filling of voids became viable.

COMPACTION GROUTING
Grout injected with typically less than 1 in. (25 mm)
slump. Normally a soil-cement with sufficient silt
sizes for mobility and sufficient sand and gravel sizes
to develop internal friction to cause the grout to
act as a growing mass as injection continues under
pressure.
The grout generally does not enter soil pores but
remains a homogeneous mass
Controlled displacement to compact loose non-
plastic soils

COMPACTION GROUTING
Arose out of grout jacking where mortar grout is
injected under slabs or structures to raise them to
proper elevation. Discovered during grouting to jack
up a pool
Mechanism observed as water was displaced from
the ground in proportion to the grout injected

Compaction Grouting
Injection Rate
Effect on Volume
Slow injection permits greater volume of injection
Higher rate reduces volume of injection
Rates greater than about 2 CFM (55 L/min) will likely cause
hydraulic fracturing and loss of injection control.
Effect on Pressure
Slow injection produces lower pressures
Faster injection produces higher pressures
Slow is required for sensitive applications ~0.5 cf/min (1.5
L/min)

Uses: Compaction Grouting
Sealing of Flowing Channels
Pre-grouting of Large Fractures
Abandoned Mine Filling
Structural Supports
Grout Jacking
Soil Reinforcement
Post Grouting of Deep Foundations

LIMITED MOBILITY GROUTING
Applications
Grout Jacking: Injection of grout beneath slabs
or structures that have settled, to lift them
back into position. The low mobility of the
grout constrains it to the intended lift
locations.
![Page 14: LIMITED MOBILITY GROUTING -- PRACTICE IN NORTH · PDF file · 2014-06-18Limited Mobility Grouting is a North American Practice ... compaction grouting, ... the Compaction Grouting](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020120/5ab751c27f8b9a28468b6c6d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Pre-grouting of Large Fractures:
Low mobility grouting is used to pre-grout large fractures to
reduce opening sizes, in order to make high mobility rock
grouting more effective.
A similar practice may also be used in Karst to construct
grouted hydraulic barriers.
LMG may be used to create barriers to seal off fracture
openings without completely filling all fractures.

LIMITED MOBILITY GROUTING
Applications
Abandoned Mine Filling: Low mobility grout injected to
form high angle of repose conical roof supports that
can be used individually or overlapped to form dams
within mine drifts so that high mobility grout or
flowable fill will be contained to prevent or remediate
mine collapse.

LIMITED MOBILITY GROUTING
Applications
Sealing of Flowing Channels: The injection of
low mobility grouts that include water
reducing and viscosity modifying admixtures
to provide cohesiveness and prevent washout,
can effectively seal off active flow in
subsurface conduits when pumped at rates
sufficient to overwhelm the flow.

LIMITED MOBILITY GROUTING
Applications
Controlled Void filling:
Injections of grout used to fill openings in the
ground such as Karst cavities, mine openings,
subsurface erosion, cavities left from piping failure,
settlement beneath structures, etc.
Control of grout rheology permits limited filling
without loss of grout to areas outside the area of
concern
Limited permeation of open graded materials

LIMITED MOBILITY GROUTING
Applications
Post Grouting of Deep Foundations:
Injection of limited mobility grout is used to
increase the horizontal stress and densify soils
surrounding piles shaft in the ground to increase
the capacity of the foundation element in friction.
Controlled injection of structural grout can be
used to increase the bearing area of the pile tip.
Compaction grouting below the base of drilled
shafts can be used to increase end bearing
capacity.

TYPICAL LMG MATERIALS Primary ingredients include:
Aggregate (Soil)
Sand
Gravel
Silt
Portland Cement
Water
Additives and Admixtures (optional)

LMG Materials – Aggregate
Aggregate most often includes broadly graded sand
Silt is necessary for pumping and to retain cement and
water in the mix, though admixtures may be suitable for
this purpose in less critical applications such as void filling.
Fine gravel is frequently added to improve control of the
mix and reduce mobility
Natural rounded grain aggregates are best

LMG MATERIALS – Portland Cement
Cement is added to provide structural capacity to
injected grout masses
Cement is not required where structural strength of the
grout is not important (e.g. compaction grouting)
Cement is often used as a pumping aid and to increase
the ‘comfort level’ of engineers

TYPICAL LMG MATERIALS New Options:
Additives and admixtures
fly ash, bottom ash, hydrated lime diatomaceous earth, fire clay,
and bentonite
plasticizers, high range water reducers, anti-washout agents,
viscosity modifiers, and air-entrainment
Not typically used for compaction grouting

LMG Materials – Additives
Clays may be added in very small quantities but will increase mobility and may result in hydraulic fracturing and loss of control
Fly ash, diatomaceous earth, or hydrated lime may be added to replace or supplement silt size material where sufficient natural silt is not available Particle size and shape can affect pumpability and internal friction of
grout
Test mixes and test injections are required where silt substitutes are used.
Chemical admixtures may be used for specific conditions to improve performance , though care should be taken to assure internal friction and grout control is not compromised

Shear Reinforcement
Shear strength of grouted pile may be used to resist
unbalanced earth pressures to the extent that it can be
mobilized and transmitted into the unstable mass
Steel reinforcement generally appropriate for shear
loadings to ensure continuity of stress transfer within the
grout pile

Shear Reinforcement
Embedment and anchorage of the base of the grout pile
must be sufficient to mobilize the required shear capacity
at potential shear planes.
Verification testing and construction controls are
required to assure required reinforcement is attained

Shear Reinforcement
Even where the intent is shear reinforcement, the
displacement during injection will produce compaction
that may be considered in the design.

Grout Pile Design
Structural Design as for normal plain concrete
Skin friction equal to soil friction for granular soils
Allowance may be made for densification
Be cautious about use of residual stress
End bearing can be enhanced by enlarging base
Verify sound rock below base

Construction of Grout Piles
1) Drill in riser casing
2) Insert Reinforcing bar into riser (if required)
3) Pump Grout through riser
4) Withdraw riser in small controlled increments with
continuous injection to construct column
