What is grouting?
Why it is done?

Answer Posted / smruti ranjan

Grout is a construction material used to embed rebars in
masonry walls, connect sections of pre-cast concrete, fill
voids, and seal joints (like those between tiles). Grout is
generally composed of a mixture of water, cement, sand,
often color tint, and sometimes fine gravel (if it is being
used to fill the cores of cement blocks). It is applied as a
thick emulsion and hardens over time, much like its close
relative mortar.Structural grout is used in reinforced
masonry to fill voids in masonry housing reinforcing steel,
securing the steel in place and bonding it to the
masonry.[1] Non-shrink grout is used beneath metal bearing
plates to ensure a consistent bearing surface between the
plate and its substrate.
