Grout must provide structural support under load. Load transfer from columns to bases, bases to foundations, foundations to stable earth cannot tolerate a “weak link” in the chain. Bearing capacity is the most critical requirement of a structural grout in its hardened state. The fresh state properties and placement techniques of a grout govern its ability to harden in place and provide the appropriate load bearing capacity.

For further information request a copy of the Samson explanatory brochure entitled “Structural Grouts”. This brochure contains information on each of the Samson Grouts available including technical data sheets, a Grout selection chart and two case studies.
