Hello everyone. I've just found this very interesting reply made by a fine fellow, on a threat posted on this topic a few years back: "In my experience, if the anchor passes its load test, the anchor is acceptable despite low grout test results."
Given that, in addition of the importance of the mechanical properties, say compressive strength, of cement-based grouts for the final shear capacity developed through the interface grout-soil/rock, this grout also plays a significant role in determining the longevity of the anchoring system, what are your thoughts on this very important subject? Thank you.
