Effect of magnetized water on the fundamental grouting properties of cement grout under varying magnetization conditions by Chao Deng, Liuxi Li, Huanxiao Hu, Zhichao Xu, Yi Zhou, Quan Yin, Juan Chen

“…Additionally, magnetized water notably enhances the flexural and compressive strength of the cement grout stone body, with a particularly significant improvement in early strength. From a quantum mechanics perspective, a magnetization mechanism based on the competition between the strengthening of hydrogen bonds between water molecule clusters and the weakening or breaking of hydrogen bonds within clusters is introduced, providing a theoretical basis for explaining the variability observed in water magnetization experiments.…”
