{ "item_title" : "Modern Grouting Engineering", "item_author" : [" Ok C. Martin "], "item_description" : "Choosing the right grout is only the beginning. Successful grouting depends on reading what the ground is telling you while the work is underway.Does your field team need to interpret pressure, flow, grout take, refusal, and shifting injection behavior before making an expensive decision?Does your project need clearer procedures for troubleshooting, QA/QC, field verification, acceptance, and documentation?Modern Grouting Engineering by Ok C. Martin is built around exactly these demands. Instead of treating grouting as simply pumping material into soil or structures, it lays out a repeatable engineering decision process that runs from site investigation and treatment goals through material selection, mix design, equipment, injection, monitoring, troubleshooting, verification, and documentation.What You'll Learn:Grouting Fundamentals - The engineering principles behind successful treatmentMethod Selection - How permeation, compaction, jet, fracture, curtain, consolidation, and contact grouting compareMaterial Selection - Cementitious, microfine cement, polymer, chemical, bentonite, and specialty systemsMix Design - How mix properties affect injectability and field performanceSoil & Rock Behavior - Pores, fractures, joints, voids, and how they connectInjection Pressure - Treating pressure as a controlled engineering variable, not something to maximizeGrout Take Interpretation - Turning changes in consumption into useful field evidenceEquipment Selection - Pumps, mixers, injection lines, packers, and support systemsField Procedures - Practical workflows for preparation, mixing, injection, and monitoringTroubleshooting - Diagnosing blockages, washout, bleeding, segregation, pressure loss, refusal, and unusual responsesQA/QC - Building inspection, testing, traceability, and acceptance into the processVerification - Confirming whether the treatment actually achieved its goalsDigital Monitoring - Using real-time pressure, flow, volume, time, and data acquisitionCurrent Practice - Newer materials, sustainability, risk management, and emerging technologiesField Decision Tools - Diagrams, decision trees, checklists, tables, and troubleshooting pathways for faster calls on siteExperienced engineers may already rely on standards, company manuals, specialist texts, or online resources. This book doesn't replace project specifications, governing standards, manufacturer requirements, or project-specific engineering judgment. Instead, it gives you a structured technical framework that helps you use those sources more effectively.For senior professionals, it serves as a practical desk and project reference. For junior engineers and advanced students, it offers a clear way to understand why each decision is made. Its focus on visual explanations, practical procedures, troubleshooting, material selection, monitoring, and QA/QC brings together information that practitioners usually have to piece together from many sources.If you want a practical reference that helps you make better grouting decisions, add Modern Grouting Engineering to your professional library.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/817/868/9798178682098_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "139.99", "online_price" : "139.99", "our_price" : "139.99", "club_price" : "139.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
