This study aims to analyze the engineering properties of cementless grouting materials (CGMs) and derive optimal binder types and compositions that can ensure superior material performance in comparison with ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The presented CGM is an environment-friendly inorganic binder based on ground granulated blast-furnace slag. The material properties of three CGM types with different chemical compositions were evaluated. To assess the possibility of using CGMs in grouting-construction methods, this study followed special grouting-method specifications of the J company in Korea, and tested whether CGM satisfies the performance requirements of a gel time of 20-50 s and homogel strength greater than 2 MPa after 7 days. For OPC and CGM, gel time increased and homogel strength decreased as the water/binder (W/B) ratio of Liquid B increased or as its replacement ratio decreased. Additionally, gel time decreased while homogel strength increased as the absolute weight of the Liquid B binder increased, and a negative correlation was observed between gel time and homogel strength. CGM2 was the optimal binder to ensure excellent material performance compared with OPC. Optimal mixing proportions were 117.8-167.7% W/B ratio, 42.6-56.7% Liquid B volume ratio, and 20.4-43.7 kg binder weight.
