Abstract
This paper illustrates the impact of temperature variation on the creep behaviour of sodium silicate–600B ester permeated Leighton Buzzard sand, where the temperature of triaxial cell water in which the grouted sand samples is installed is raised and lowered between 20·C and 30·C at different time intervals during the constant loading tests. It has been found that creep strain is temperature sensitive at nominal silicate concentrations of 40% to 60% by volume and both the magnitude of creep strain and its rate increase with increase in temperature and vice versa. Also described is the temperature controlled apparatus developed for creep testing of grouted soils, where the temperature can be maintained at the specified temperature within ±1·C.
