ACI SP-83:1984 is a comprehensive study and report on the application and use of cement grouting techniques. The standard covers various topics related to cement grouting, including the use of condensed silica fume in grouts, design and grouting of high-pressure tunnels, changes in length and volume of cementitious grouts, drilled pier foundation rehabilitation, acoustic emissions as a nondestructive testing method, low slump compactive tail shield grouting in soft ground, the influence of bentonite on pumpability of compaction grouts, ultrafine cement pressure grouting, and cold weather cement grouting and post tensioning.

The standard is organized into several chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of cement grouting. The first chapter discusses the use of condensed silica fume in grouts and its impact on the performance and properties of the grouts. The second chapter explores the design and grouting of a concrete-lined high-pressure tunnel, providing insights into the challenges and solutions involved in this type of project. The third chapter addresses the changes in length and volume that occur in cementitious grouts, providing guidance on how to account for these changes in grouting applications.

The standard also includes chapters on drilled pier foundation rehabilitation using cement grouting, the use of acoustic emissions as a nondestructive testing method for monitoring grouting, low slump compactive tail shield grouting in soft ground, the influence of bentonite on the pumpability of compaction grouts, ultrafine cement pressure grouting to control ground water in fractured granite rock, and cold weather cement grouting and post tensioning.
