For demonstrating the suitability of alternate grouting means and/or methods, the grout demonstration panel option detailed in Specification for Masonry Structures (ref. The values for the zeta potential of cement are considered near to the unstable zone (Talero, Pedrajas, & Rahhal, Citation2013). sciencedirect.com 1 0 obj The zeta potential of Portland cement has been assessed at various initial pH values, it was shown that the zeta potential of cement increases with rising pH value, this is due to higher Ca2+ contents in the Stern layer (Ngele, Citation1985).
