Grout is a fluid mixture used to fill gaps, provide support, and create a strong bond between materials, often consisting of cement, water, and sometimes additives. Bolts are grouted to enhance their stability and load-bearing capacity, ensuring they are securely anchored in place within concrete or masonry. This process helps prevent movement, reduces the risk of corrosion, and improves the overall structural integrity of the installation. Grouting also helps distribute loads evenly and minimizes stress concentrations around the bolts.
