10D. DIMENSIONING PART 4/4

CHAPTER 10D 'DIMENSIONING' 56 • Reinforcement with deep grouting The deep grouting method is essentially a method of replacing the old mortar with new mortar with improved mechanical characteristics. This results in an increase in the compressive strength of the masonry in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 8.1.1 of the KADET. As far as the thickness of application is concerned, the requirement is the ratio of the volume of the new mortar of the grout to the total volume of the old mortar. Since the new grout will be applied to the existing joints, we enter the depth of the new grout in this field. If the new grout is to be applied on both sides, this value is multiplied by 2. For example, if the new grout will be 5 cm deep both sides of the wall then enter the value 100 mm. The corresponding results are shown below:
