Grout as per ASTM C476 requirements

Flow of 110 5%
Air percentage not more than 8% for non-air entraining cement
Minimun cement content as per Aramco specifications = 250 kg for non-structural concrete
Water-Cement ratio of not more than 0.60 conforming to Aramco non-structural concrete
Grout strength of not less than 2000 psi
Mixing time time of not more than 2 1/2 hour upon addition of water

* Adding chemicals are optional factor since the mixing shall be carried out on the site using 1 bagger mixer.
Should it will be required, addition shall not be more than 2% of the equivalent weight of cementitious material
of the design. Moreover, the chemical to be used shall be a napthalene base.
* Effect of adding chemical material:
An initial trial mix shall be carried out in order to arrived at a desired workabilitywhen mortar/grout is concerned
to fill the CHB cells. Note that 110 5% flow of slump will not be observed when chemical is to be consider.
* Box dimesion is based on a 1 cu.ft. volume (i.e. 30x30x30cm) = 0.027 m3
