The procedure described in this guidefocuses on the injection of through-wall cracks, but may beadapted

23、to cold joints, control joints, voids associated withpenetrations, and other voids contributing to water intrusionthrough concrete elements. This guide is intended to assist thebuilding owner, owners representative, architect, engineer,contractor, or authorized inspector, or combinations thereof,dur

24、ing the selection, specification, or installation, or combina-tions thereof, of chemical grout for waterproofing repair.4.2 Prior to attempting any repair, it is important for allparties to have a clear and mutual understanding of thelimitations of the repair and the iterative nature of the process.

25、Injection of chemical grout does not affect the source of a leak.The repair obstructs the infiltration of water at a specificlocation only. The flow of water will be diverted elsewhere,and it is common for water to subsequently appear at a differentlocation that was previously dry. A successful camp

26、aign at agiven location can significantly reduce the amount of waterinfiltration, but may not fully prevent leakage. Given the natureof the materials and application technique, and depending onthe conditions, the repairs should be periodically monitoredand additional repair installations may be requ

27、ired.4.3 This guide is applicable to installations at below-gradewalls and slabs. At above-grade elements, temperature varia-tion on a daily or seasonal basis may lead to significant or morefrequent changes, or both, in the width of a crack or joint. Theuse of injected chemical grout may be appropri

28、ate for manyabove-grade applications, but this guide does not specificallyaddress installation of grout in dynamic cracks or joints.4.4 Cracks in below-grade walls may be a sign of structuraldistress. Prior to the injection of chemical grout, the overallconditions and context of the damage should be

29、 assessed todetermine if a non-structural repair is appropriate.4.5 This guide does not address repairs intended to providea seal against air leakage or air infiltration.4.6 Project-specific or environmental conditions such asexisting construction, prior waterproofing installations, access,water vol

30、ume or flow rate, water chemistry, temperature,humidity, and other factors may warrant the evaluation ofcurtain grouting as an alternative to crack injection.4.7 Practices F2304, F2414, and F2454 describe materialsand procedures related to the use of chemical grout to sealcomponents of sewer systems

31、. While the specific proceduresdiffer from those described in this guide, the standards containgeneral information on chemical grouting materials and meth-ods that may be of interest to those involved with waterproof-ing repair of building elements.4.8 This guide does not address the use of particul

32、ate groutsor epoxy as an injection material.5. Materials5.1 General:5.1.1 The intent of this section is to define the properties thata chemical grout should have to perform effectively in theintended application and under expected field conditions.5.1.2 It is recognized that new and improved chemica

33、l groutmaterials will become available in the future. Sources,manufacturers, formulations, and product names of materialswill change from time to time, and therefore specific manufac-turers and product names are not provided.5.2 Chemical Grout Characteristics:5.2.1 The following are general characte

34、ristics that shouldbe exhibited by the chemical grout.5.2.2 The chemical grout should have documented satisfac-tory performance in similar usage as the intended conditions.5.2.3 The chemical grout should have controllable reactiontimes.5.2.4 The chemical grout should have resistance to theconcentrat

35、ions of chemicals found in the type(s) of water thecured grout is expected to be exposed to (groundwater,stormwater, waste water, etc.).5.2.5 The chemical grout should be non-toxic in cured form.5.2.6 The chemical grout should be non-corrosive.D8109 1725.2.7 The cured chemical grout formation should

36、 not bebiodegradable.5.2.8 The cured material should withstand submergence inwater in the environment in which it is installed withoutdegradation.5.3 Material Selection:5.3.1 ICRI Guideline 340.1 provides additional informationon grout properties; guidelines on the selection of an appro-priate mater

37、ial; and the limitations, advantages, and disadvan-tages of the commonly used materials listed in 5.4.5.3.2 The selection of an appropriate sealing material orcombination of materials for a specific repair applicationdepends on a number of interrelated factors, including but notlimited to those disc

38、ussed below. The chemical grout should beable to adequately penetrate and fill a sufficient extent of thecrack or void prior to setting, and should remain in place whilecuring. The resultant chemical grout formation should preventthe passage of water (infiltration) through the crack or void.5.3.3 Fo

39、llowing the examination and discussion of theexisting conditions by all involved parties, specific character-istics that pertain to the application requirements and desiredperformance of the repair should be defined and approved bythe owners representative or project architect or engineer ofrecord.5

40、.3.4 The ability of the grout to penetrate into a crack isaffected by the width of the crack, and material propertiesincluding: viscosity, cohesion, gel time, and expansion rateduring reaction, among others. Generally, injected material willtravel more quickly through wider cracks, and will require

41、ashorter gel time. Material injected into narrow cracks mayrequire a longer gel time to facilitate travel along the full extentof the cracks. When selecting a chemical grout, a minimumrequired set time should be established that will achieveadequate grout travel under the project conditions.5.3.5 Fo

42、r any given product or formulation, material prop-erties vary due to environmental conditions. The materialproperties will likely change over the course of the injectionprocess, and can vary between laboratory- and field-preparedmaterials. Reaction times are influenced by the component andmix water

43、temperature, the mix water chemistry, and thetemperature of the concrete when injected and during curing ofthe grout. Thus, when comparing various products, it isimportant to understand the stated properties, as well as howsensitive those properties may be to the conditions and physicalstructure of

44、the cracks to be injected. Some products allow forcontrol over gel times through the preparation of the material,while others may be modified with additives (see 5.5).5.3.6 The strength and durability of the cured grout shouldbe compatible with the anticipated demands. Water type(groundwater, stormw

45、ater, waste water, etc.), current or poten-tial wet-dry cycles, ground pressures, hydrostatic pressures,loading of the element, and thermal conditions should bethoroughly reviewed when choosing or approving the appro-priate grout. Consideration of wet-dry cycles and crack move-ment is especially imp

46、ortant when selecting a polyurethanegrout, which are typically classified as either hydrophilic orhydrophobic. Hydrophilic grouts absorb water and form aflexible foam or gel, but many formulations require constantmoisture to maintain an effective seal. Hydrophobic groutsrepel water during and after

47、the reaction, and are better suitedto cyclical exposure to water. However, some hydrophobicmaterials form a rigid formation, and expansion and contrac-tion of the crack will compromise the seal.5.4 Chemical Grout Materials:5.4.1 Acrylics, acrylates, and acrylamides.5.4.2 Hydrophilic polyurethane foa

48、m or gel.5.4.3 Hydrophobic polyurethane foam or gel.5.5 Additives:5.5.1 Gel control agents are commonly used to modify thegel time of a chemical grout. In some instances, it may benecessary to modify the gel time multiple times before a crackis completely sealed. For example, if a crack varies in wi

49、dth,different gel times may be required to achieve a consistentrepair. When injecting very wide cracks, or cracks with a largevolume of flowing water, a common practice consists of aninitial injection of material with a short gel time, followed byan injection with a longer gel time. The rapidly setting materialserves to seal the majority of the opening, while the subsequentinjections are given time to travel into the remaining narrowspaces.5.5.2 Grout additives may also be used for catalyzing thereaction, inhibiting the reaction, buffering the solution, lowe
