Macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of nanosilica sol-based composite grout in sealing fractured argillaceous rock: A comparative study with silica sol and cement slurry by Zhe Xiang, Nong Zhang, Dongjiang Pan, Zhengzheng Xie, Peng Wang, Dongxu Liang

“…Additionally, the paper compares the performance of this composite grout with traditional silica sol and cement grout, providing initial insights into the anti-seepage reinforcement mechanism of the composite grout when used in grouting argillaceous soft rock. The research results show that, for composite grouting (1) The porosity and sealing of the grout-rock cementitious body decrease with increasing particle size of the rock blocks, with a minimum permeability coefficient of 2.34 × 10−8 cm/s; (2) The presence and distribution pattern of multi-level pores of grout in rock fractures can be evaluated using the T2 spectrum of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). …”
