Lower slump grouts are usually more difficult to place. The particle size varies between 0.2 and 200m for bentonite, the particle size range for cement is 0.2 to 100m. Reinforced masonry construction, however, requires grout to be placed around the reinforcement. To better define the mineralogical composition of materials, we need to determine the nature and quantity of the various impurities contained therein. In most cases the measurements required are in the axial direction of a borehole and where reasonably large quantities of grout are used and for extensometers for example it is best to have a softer rather than stiffer grout.
