Grout into a tube formed by two I beams

Grout into a tube formed by two I beams

Grout into a tube formed by two I beams

(OP)
We encountered a situation where grout is required to fill into a tube formed by two I beams. The beam is about 39ft long and the tube is about 8"x10" section.

Is the curing of the grout a concern in this case? I mean whether the grout can get strength inside a steel tube permernantly.

The question may be too naive. Thanks.

Certainly it will cure; as it does within the formwork.
You may search for grouting techniques if of special concern in the web. Normally I would look  for low shrinkage grout; anyway there's an entire field of technical literature on grouting.

Seems to me the same as whether the grout would cure in a rock anchor or cmu cell? Yes it would, however may I ask the application of why you are grouting between two I-beams?
