Innovative Solutions for Grout Edgelifting Identification, Causes, and Mitigation through Best Practices and Reinforcement Techniques

Author(s) Aziz Hamid Farooqi
Country Saudi Arabia
Abstract Grout edgelifting, characterized by the lifting or separation of grout along the edges of concrete or tiled surfaces, presents significant challenges in maintaining structural integrity and surface aesthetics. This issue often arises due to improper material selection, inadequate installation practices, environmental factors, and lack of compliance with grout manufacturer’s guidelines. The consequences include reduced durability, increased maintenance costs, and compromised safety. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of grout edgelifting, focusing on its identification, underlying causes, and preventive strategies. Detailed procedures including material preparation, application, and curing, are discussed alongside reinforcement techniques using dowel and wicket bars. The integration of these advanced methodologies ensures enhanced durability, better performance, and adherence to international standards. Laboratory and field data validate the effectiveness of these solutions, offering a reliable framework for addressing grout edgelifting in diverse construction applications.
