THE GROUT LINE
Paolo Gazzarrinni
Overture
38th episode of the Grout Line and
for this issue the annual reminder, for
anyone interested, that the Grouting
Fundamentals Course at the Colorado
School of Mines in Golden, this year
will be held June 22-26, 2015.
For this issue a couple of articles;
first, hot off the presses, from Kath-
leen Bensko, P.G., Geologist, Risk
Management Center, Institute for
Water Resources, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Pittsburgh, PA (Kathleen.
, and second
a short note/reminder about jet grout-
ing spoil, from me.
Kathleen sent me the following
article related to the new publication
of the revised Grouting Technology
Engineering and Design Manual. As
explained in Kathleen’s presentation/
article, the manual, at the time of
preparing this issue for its publication
(January), is in its final review, but,
probably in March, when Geotechni-
cal News is published the manual will
be available on line at the address
below. Stay tuned to the USACE’s
webpage!
I didn’t have the possibility to read in
detail the manual (only.... more than
500 pages!) and I will comment on
it in the future. Of course I will have
something to say! If you have any
comments, for discussion, please send
me your thoughts.
