4. WHAT IS GROUTING ?
 The lean mortar used for filling spaces ( SUCH AS JOINTS IN
MASONRY ) any of various other material( SUCH AS MOISTURE OF
CEMENT AND WATER ) used for similar purpose and this process is
known as GROUTING.
-OR-
 Grout is generally a mixture of water, cement, and sand and is
employed in pressure GROUTING, embedding rebar in masonry
walls, connecting sections of pre-cast concrete, filling voids, and
sealing joints such as those between tiles

5. TYPES OF GROUTING
Followings are the types of GOUTING
 Cementitious Grouting
 Epoxy Grouting
 Tile Grouting

6. WHAT IS CEMENTITIOUS GROUTING ?
 Cementitious Grouting is used for grouting materials with a high permeability.
 Neat cement and water or a mixture of sand (4 parts) to cement (1 part) is the usual
composition.
 It is the most Common Type of Grout used for grouting.
 It has further two types;
• Sanded Grouting
• Un-Sanded Grouting

7. TYPES OF CEMENTITIOUS GROUTING
 Sanded Grouting:
 Cement based grout containing fine sand.
 Used for filling wider grout lines.
 Which have width 3.0 mm or more.
 Un-Sanded Grouting:
 Does not contain sand.
 Used for filling thinner grout lines
 Which have width 1.5 mm to 3.0 mm.

8. WHAT IS EPOXY GROUTING ?
 Provides an impermeable layer.
 Used in wet areas such as bathrooms.
 Having resistance to chemicals and greases.
 Used in industrial flooring.
 Has high durability.

9. WHAT IS TILE GROUTING ?
 Used for tile adhesive.
 Used for tile grout.

10. FUNCTIONS OF TILE GROUTING
 Fills the spaces between the tiles.
 Provides a finishing look of floor or walls.
 Holds the tiles in position.
 Act as water proofing agent.
 Available in different colours to match with shades of tiles.

11. GROUT MATERIALS
 Suspensions:
 Cement + Water , Clay etc.
 Emulsions:
 Asphalt or Bitumen with Water.
 Solutions:
 Homogeneous mixture of two or more materials – Chemical Grout.

12. STEPS OF GROUTING

13. METHODS OF GROUTING
 Permeation Grouting / Pressure Grouting.
 Compaction Grouting.
 Fracture Grouting.
 Jet Grouting.
 Vacuum Grouting.
