An experimental study of the specimen geometry effect on the axial performance of cement-based grouts

Cement grouts are widely used as construction materials in civil engineering and bonding agents in mining engineering. To reveal the influence of the specimen geometry on the axial performance of grouts, a number of Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) tests on four kinds of grouts were executed. The highlight of this paper is that the grout performance was reflected on different aspects, including the UCS, the axial strain where UCS occurred,...
