Original Abstract

At the earth dams, malfunctions, leaks and loss of stability can occur during use. Chemical grouting of the dams is one of the repair options. It is possible to use fly ash within this technology. The use of fly ash in the grout significantly improves the rheological properties of the mixture, reduces costs to repair and also fulfils environmental requirements. It has been shown that, thanks to a suitable granulometry and mineralogical composition of the fly ash, using it in the grout can partially replace clay, which is a base material, while maintaining the technical characteristics of the mixture.
