The article presents information on a study which analyzed the influence of testing method and sand type on gel time and unconfined compressive strength of the specimen improved by chemical grouting. Experiments for in-situ soils were conducted to determine unconfined compressive strength and gel time in sand. To determine the fundamental properties of the active compound silica colloid, a series of unconfined compressive tests were performed for the plain gel and the improved sand.
