Literature Review
Ozurel and Vipulanandan (2005) – Acrylamide Grout with Water
*diluting acrylamide grout with water affects the mechanical properties
of grouted sands, however, diluting grout with up to 50% of water does
not affect the permeability of grouted sand
Tomomi (2004) – Surfactants in Starches
*The final viscosity of cereal starch paste with surfactants was found to
be higher than control; higher surfactant concentration leads to higher
final viscosity of cereal starch paste
Queimada (2003) – Surface tension & Viscosity Relationship
*In 1966, Pelofsky introduced a linear relation between surface tension
and viscosity

Conclusion
With the addition of surfactant in acrylamide grout…
(1) gelling time increased
(2) the viscosity increased
(3) the rate of temperature-increase with respect to time
decreaseddecreased
(4) strength of the grouted sand decreased
>> CTAB surfactant modified the grout properties
>> Grouted sand properties were reduced (or affected) by the
addition of surfactant
