A review of geopolymer binder as a grouting material

Abstract

The utilization of geopolymer as a grouting material has gained significant attention in research and construction applications. Geopolymer grout is a type of binding material that differs from traditional grouts, typically based on Portland cement. Researchers have explored its effectiveness and potential applications in grouting processes, considering its unique properties and characteristics. In this paper, various studies employing and utilizing geopolymer as a grouting material are reviewed. The emphasis is on mixture design of geopolymer grout, physical property, chemical composition of geopolymer grout, rheological behavior of geopolymer grout such as yield stress (in case of Bingham fluid) and viscosity, and engineering properties such as compressive strength, expansion, shrinkage, etc.
