Abstract
The effectiveness of using microfine cement grout injected into three different gasoline-contaminated sands was evaluated. Experiments were conducted to determine the bleed capacity and microstructure of neat grouts containing various percentages of gasoline, and it was found that the presence of a small amount of gasoline significantly reduces the bleed capacity of the grout and that the discrete entities of gasoline were encapsulated within the grout microstructure. Six grouting scenarios were investigated: four involved gasoline-contamination to model the effect of water table fluctuations on the residual saturation of the gasoline, and two involved no contamination to establish reference conditions.
