Suggested Video

[BigH]

I've been able to view a number of geotechnical videos and would urge any interested in grouting to see the Don Bruce's Terzaghi lecture (2015).

Thanks BigH, here is the YouTube link:

SRE...you beat me to it! I tried from my tablet but didn't work....probably my lack of tablet capability!!
It's a good lecture.

Ron - Yes, I wanted to see this video and watched it over the weekend. We had Hayward Baker do quite a bit of grouting at one of our coal-fired station sites in the early 1980's. I was surprised when Dr. Bruce mentioned the first use of a Hydromill in the U.S. (1983). This was on an unrelated Corps on Engineers project (St. Stephen Dam, image shown below) located on our hydroelectric reservoir:

SRE....yes, the video is good. It was popular in the 80's to fill subsurface voids in Central Florida by grouting. That has waned over the years because of expense and the unknown quantities required to fill some of our "never ending" voids!

Great to see that the Tube includes some geotechnical vids, I even saw that there are Buchanan lectures on the vid list.
