• Slump testing and mixing proportions for grout (ASTM Standards and
Specifications)
Population and Locale of the Study
• Test Samples = 25 rectangular prisms
• Square cross-section = 3” minimum
• Height = twice its width
• Curing = 28 days
• 5 prism tests - composed of 5 prism specimens
• Specimen Testing - BIP Steadfast Ground Inc.
Data Gathering Tools
• Portland cement • Shovel
• Mine tailings • Tamping rod
• Sand • Triple beam balance
• Water • Slump cone
• Standard test sieve • Universal Testing Machine (UTM)
• Mixing pan • Molds
Data Gathering Procedure
• Oven-dried after which is sieved; collecting all samples passing 3/8-
inch sieve and retained on sieve no. 100.
• Mixing proportions for an ordinary grout will be replaced by mine
tailings: 0% mine tailings, 10% mine tailings, 20% mine tailings, 30%
mine tailings, 40% mine tailings.
• Test will be conducted using ASTM C143/C143M-10a (Slump Test) to
determine the amount of water needed for the sample having 0%
mine tailings.
• The same amount of water will be utilized for the other proportions.
Data Gathering Procedure
• The grout mix will be placed inside the slump cone in three layers.
Each layer shall be tamped 25 times using the tamping rod.
• Measure the amount of slump from the bottom of the straight edge
to the top of the slumped concrete at a point over the original center
of the base.
Data Gathering Procedure
• Grout mix samples will be poured in a mold of masonry units
assembled in a form of a pinwheel
• The researchers will leave 25
specimens to cure for 28 days
• Curing of the specimens shall be
in accordance with ASTM C1019 -11
Data Gathering Procedure
• Testing to be conducted shall be in accordance with ASTM C 1314-11
(Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Masonry Prisms).
• The specimens will be subjected to compressive test under the
Universal Testing Machine(UTM).
Treatment of Data
• Results of the tests shall be presented in table form and graphical
form
• Procured data will be analyzed using One-Way ANOVA
