Para este autor, crianças e adolescentes podem apresentar desajustes em seu comportamento, quando passaram por algum tipo de ruptura na continuidade dos cuidados exercidos pelo ambiente, ocasionando o que ele chamou de estado de deprivação. Com uma abordagem qualitativa, através de estudos de casos múltiplos, buscou-se identificar indícios de deprivação nestes adolescentes. O enquadre teórico tomado como referência também se baseou nas contribuições dos estudiosos da família, que vêm pesquisando as repercussões da separação dos pais sobre os filhos e nos estudos sobre o divórcio. Os participantes do estudo foram três adolescentes, de 12, 13 e 15 anos de idade; a primeira do sexo feminino e os outros dois do sexo masculino. O acesso aos casos f / This study sought to analyze and understand the characteristics of the relationships between parents and children in the context of divorce, from the perspective of adolescents with indicators of antisocial tendency, as defined by Winnicott’s psychoanalytical theory (1956 / 2000). For Winnicott, children and adolescents who undergo some kind of disruption in the continuity of parental care may display behavioral maladjustments, which cause what he called a state of deprivation. With a qualitative approach, through the study of multiple cases, signs and symptoms of deprivation were sought in these adolescents. The theoretical fundamentals used as reference were also based on studies on divorce and on contributions from family experts and scientists, who have researched the impacts of parental separation on children. The subjects were one female aged 12, and two males aged 13 and 15. The access to these cases was made possible through a private school attended by middle-income students, located in the metropoli

For so, we structured the review in three theoretical moments that organise our bibliographical review: a review of the studies on Measures of Central Tendency that allowed us to identify the obstacles faced by the students and teachers, and a discussion about the teacher's professional development. The methodological process of the research was structured in five stages distributed as follows: the first stage is the settlement of a teaching sequence in a Statistics course arranged in five meetings; the second stage is the elaboration of a task; the third stage is the analysis of the task elaborated; the fourth stage is the implementation of the task in classroom; and the fifth stage is the completion of the analysis process and discussion about the implementation of the task in classroom and the whole process of intevention experienced. Six teachers who taught from the first to the fifth school year of the basic education in the city of São Paulo participated in this study in the period of the development of the project. The results showed that the initial difficulties identified in the protocols built with dialogues and productions of the teachers, in the comprehension of the concepts of median, mode and media and of their properties, were overcome during the process, though the global analysis showed graduation insufficiency to the achievement of this conceptual construction. With respect to the elaboration and analysis of the task, we realised that the teachers had trouble in enunciating the contents of median, mode and media, not identifying the properties, the kind of variant involved in the task and their influence in the development of the task in classroom. In the analysis of a task elaborated by them, the teachers also showed lack of articulation, master and knowledge of the content. The implementation of the task in classroom took place as a positive moment in which the teachers could see not only the good performance of the students, but also could reconsider their conceptions and attitudes towards the Statistics, which was reinforced in the stage destinated to the analysis and discussion about the whole process of intervention. We came to the realisation that the teachers could enlarge their professional development not only in what comes to the contents of the Measures of Central Tendency, but in their conceptions, attitudes and educational knowledge of the content, admitting their difficulties and realising the importance of a continuous graduation process / O presente estudo tem por objetivo investigar que compreensão e desenvolvimento pedagógico e didático do conteúdo podem ser identificados em professores que atuam no Ensino Fundamental, do 1º ao 5º ano, sobre as Medidas de Tendência Central, a partir da investigação de seu desenvolvimento profissional numa formação continuada. Para tanto, estruturamos o estudo em dois momentos teóricos que organizaram nossa revisão bibliográfica: uma revisão dos estudos sobre Medidas de Tendência Central, que nos permitiu identificar as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos alunos e professores, e uma discussão sobre o desenvolvimento profissional do professor. O processo metodológico da pesquisa foi estruturado em cinco etapas distribuídas da seguinte forma: primeira etapa: aplicação de uma sequência de ensino em um curso de Estatística organizado em cinco encontros; segunda etapa: elaboração de uma tarefa; terceira etapa: análise da tarefa elaborada; quarta etapa: aplicação da tarefa em sala de aula, e quinta etapa: realização do processo de análise e discussão da aplicação da tarefa em sala de aula e sobre todo o processo de intervenção vivenciado. Participaram deste estudo seis professoras que lecionavam do 1º ao 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental na cidade de São Paulo, no período de desenvolvimento do projeto. Os resultados mostraram que as dificuldades iniciais identificadas nos protocolos construídos com diálogos e produções das professoras, na compreensão dos conceitos de média, moda e mediana e de suas propriedades, foram sendo superadas ao longo do processo, embora a análise global tenha mostrado a insuficiência da formação para a consolidação dessa construção conceitual. Em relação à elaboração e análise da tarefa, percebemos que as professoras tiveram dificuldades em articular os conteúdos de média, moda e mediana, não identificando as propriedades, o tipo de variável envolvida na tarefa e a influência destes no desenvolvimento da tarefa em sala de aula. Na análise de uma tarefa elaborada por elas, as professoras também demonstraram a falta de articulação, domínio e conhecimento do conteúdo. A aplicação dessa tarefa em sala de aula se configurou como um momento positivo em que as professoras puderam observar não apenas o bom desempenho dos alunos, mas repensaram em suas concepções e atitudes em relação à estatística, o que foi reforçado na etapa destinada à análise e discussão de todo o processo de intervenção. Pudemos constatar que as professoras conseguiram ampliar seu desenvolvimento profissional não apenas em relação aos conteúdos das medidas de tendência central, mas nas concepções, atitudes e conhecimento didático do conteúdo, assumindo suas dificuldades e percebendo a importância de um processo contínuo de formação

O presente estudo teve como objetivo principal identificar as tendências de comportamento competitivo de 97 atletas de Judô em relação às suas tendências pessoais em vencer, competir e estabelecer metas. Os dados foram coletados utilizando o Sistema de Avaliação ACS -2 e o Inventário de identificação pessoal e esportiva, junto a 53 judocas do sexo masculino e 45 do sexo feminino, federados e competidores, integrantes das equipes Juvenis e Juniores pertencentes ou não às Seleções Paulista de Judô, oriundos de diversas classes sociais e com idade cronológica entre 14 e 21 anos. Os atletas foram agrupados por sexo e/ou por estarem integrando ou não a Seleção Paulista de Judô, de forma simples ou em múltiplas combinações. O coeficiente de correlação de Spearman foi empregado para analisar as relações intragrupos existentes entre as variáveis qualitativas (tendências em vencer, competir e estabelecer metas), e variáveis quantitativas (idade, tempo de prática e nível de desempenho). Foi utilizado para a análise intergrupos o Qui-Quadrado, para as variáveis qualitativas, e o teste t, para as variáveis quantitativas. Os resultados indicaram que existem evidências significativas de que os atletas federados e competidores de ambos os sexos, pertencentes à Seleção Paulista de Judô, adotam comportamentos com tendências pessoais diferenciadas quando comparados com os comportamentos dos atletas não pertencentes à Seleção Paulista de Judô, sendo que a única variável que não apresentou diferença foi a tendência em competir. Entre atletas federados e competidores, distribuídos em função do sexo, masculino ou feminino, a idade foi a única variável que não apresentou evidência de diferenças significativas. Na análise intragrupos dos atletas que não pertencem à Seleção Paulista de Judô, entre os sexos masculino e feminino, somente foram encontradas diferenças significativas para as variáveis qualitativas. Não foram encontradas correlações significativas entre o comportamento competitivo quanto às tendências em vencer, competir e estabelecer metas, e as variáveis de idade, tempo de prática e nível de desempenho dentro das competições e treinamento, mostrando serem as mesmas variavelmente independentes. Em conclusão, os atletas de Judô com maior idade, tempo de prática e nível de desempenho apresentaram melhores índices para as tendências analisadas, podendo indicar maiores possibilidades de alcançar melhores resultados na competição; enquanto que as atletas femininas mostraram menor expressão para alcançar resultados competitivos em competições de alto nível que os atletas masculinos, o que provavelmente é decorrente do menor tempo de prática, tendências em vencer e estabelecer metas. O Sistema de Avaliação denominado ACS ? 2 tornou-se um modelo eficaz para identificar e categorizar as diferentes tendências de comportamento competitivo em vencer, competir e estabelecer metas empregadas pelos judocas do sexo masculino de feminino de Judô / The main purpose of this research was to study, categorize and identify the competitive behavior tendency of Judo players according to personal tendencies of competing, winning and setting goals. We analyzed 52 male and 45 female Judo players from São Paulo Federation, competitors, most of them Juniors and Juveniles, included or not in the São Paulo State Team, from different social background and between 14 and 21 years old. The evaluation tools were: Evaluation System ACS ? 2 to collect information about competitive tendency ; and a second one to obtain Sportive and Personal information about age, practice time and performance level. The samples were separated by sex and/or by circumstantially being part or not of São Paulo State Team, in eight different groups. The Spearman Coefficient was used to analyze the intra-group relations between qualitative variables (tendencies of winning, competing and setting goals), and quantitative variables (age, practice time, performance level). The Q-Square was used to analyze the qualitative variables between groups and the test t for the quantitative variables. The results showed that, independent of the sex of the athletes of São Paulo State Team and those who were not in this group, there are significant differences in the variables involved in this study, except for competing tendencies. When the athletes were separated by sex, age was the only variable that has not showed evidence of significant difference. In the inter-group analysis of male and female athletes who are not part of São Paulo State Team significant differences were only found in qualitative variables; in the analysis of the athletes who are in São Paulo State Team significant differences were found in the qualitative tendencies of winning and setting goals. In the intra-group analyses, no differences had been found between qualitative and quantitative variables suggesting independent variability. In conclusion the Judo athletes with more age, practice time and performance level obtain best scores for the competitive tendencies analyzed, these elements can indicate possibilities to reach best results in sport competitions. The female athletes showed minor competences for high level competitions than the males athletes probably because of less practice time, lower tendencies of winning and setting goals. The Evaluation System ACS ? 2 was shown as a good and efficient model to identify and characterize the different competitive behavior tendencies in competing, winning and setting goals orientation employed by male and female Judo players

O apoio do ambiente familiar é considerado um fator determinante para o desenvolvimento infantil. Assim, deficiências nas funções materna e paterna podem acarretar o surgimento de diversas patologias mentais na criança, dependendo do estágio evolutivo e a intensidade em que ocorrem. Dentre essas patologias, a Tendência Antissocial Infantil, caracterizada por um continuum de comportamentos agressivos, opositores e de desobediência, que podem produzir um importante prejuízo nas relações sociais do indivíduo, é unanimemente reconhecida na literatura científica como fortemente influenciada pela vida familiar da criança. Estudos científicos apontam para a existência de vínculos entre a ocorrência de comportamentos antissociais e a ausência da figura do pai. Sendo assim, esta pesquisa visou investigar os efeitos da privação precoce ou tardia da figura do pai no desenvolvimento emocional de crianças com tendência antissocial, de modo a averiguar se existem diferenças em sua forma de expressão em função do momento evolutivo em que a perda ocorreu. Foi compreendido como privação o fato dos pais masculinos biológicos não residirem na mesma casa, nem conviverem diariamente com a criança, devido a abandono espontâneo do lar, morte ou reclusão penitenciária. Através de uma metodologia clínico-qualitativa, foram realizados estudos de caso com quatro famílias participantes, em que o filho apresentava frequentes comportamentos antissociais e vivia apenas com a mãe. Na avaliação foram utilizadas, com a criança, o Teste da Casa-Árvore-Pessoa (HTP) e o Teste de Apercepção Temática Infantil (CAT-A), e, com a mãe, o Questionário de Capacidades e Dificuldades (SDQ-Por), uma Entrevista psicológica semiestruturada e um questionário sócio-econômico. A análise dos dados foi realizada a partir de uma perspectiva clínica psicanalítica de base winnicottiana, além das cotações propostas pelos manuais dos instrumentos. Os resultados apontam a existência de vínculos significativos, no atual momento de vida das crianças avaliadas, entre o desenvolvimento da tendência antissocial infantil, a privação da figura paterna e algumas características do funcionamento psicodinâmico do pai ausente. A presença física do pai não era, por si só, um fator preditivo do bom desenvolvimento emocional dos filhos, mas, sim, a sustentação realizada predominantemente por eles de um espaço de interação altamente responsivo e adaptado às necessidades das crianças, de modo que o processo de transicionalidade dos filhos era facilitado e a consolidação da capacidade de concernimento incentivada. Nesse sentido, os comportamentos antissociais das crianças parecem remeter a uma tentativa de fazer com que o ambiente novamente lhes ofereça holding e condições para retomar os processos transicionais interrompidos com a perda do genitor. Para além da idade em que ocorreu a privação, o fator de maior impacto sobre a sintomatologia das crianças não foi o momento evolutivo em que a ruptura aconteceu, mas o nível de preservação da boa imagem paterna interna que as crianças e suas mães apresentam, bem como a possibilidade ou não de reparação dessa perda por outras figuras. Os indícios mais intensos do entrave da espontaneidade e da integração do Self aparecem relacionados ao maior nível de \"apagamento\" e \"degradação\" da imago paterna, associada à possibilidade de sustentação do gesto espontâneo, do viver criativo e do círculo benigno. A sensação de perda das crianças é amplificada pelas dificuldades de identificação das mães com seus filhos e pelo afastamento da família paterna. Assim, evidencia-se a necessidade de intervenções terapêuticas familiares para que o tratamento da criança seja efetivo. Outros estudos sobre o tema são necessários para ampliar a compreensão do assunto. / The support of the family environment is considered a determining factor in child development. Thus, shortcomings in maternal and paternal functions can lead to the emergence of various mental disorders in children, depending on the stage of evolution and the intensity in which they occur. Among these pathologies, the Antisocial Tendency in children, characterized by a continuum of aggressive behaviour, oppositional defiance and disobedience, which can significantly harm the social relationships of the individual, is unanimously recognized in the scientific literature as strongly influenced by the child\'s family life. Scientific studies point to the existence of links between the occurrence of antisocial behaviour and the absence of the father figure. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of early or late deprivation of the father figure in the emotional development of children with antisocial tendency, in order to find out if there are differences in their form of expression in terms of the development moment in which the loss occurred. It was understood as deprivation when the biological fathers didn\'t live in the same house or didn\'t spend daily time with the child, due to spontaneous abandon, death or penitentiary imprisonment. Through a clinical-qualitative methodology, case studies were conducted with four participating families, in which the child presented frequent antisocial behaviors and lived only with the mother. In this evaluation consisted of the administration, to the child, of the House-Tree-Person (HTP) test and the Children\'s Apperception Test (CAT), and, to the mother, the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ-Por), as well as a semi-structured psychological Interview and a socio-economic survey. The data analysis was performed from a clinical psychoanalytic perspective of winnicottian approach, in addition to the instruments manuals suggested interpretations. The results indicate, in the current moment of life of the evaluated children, the existence of significant links between the development of antisocial tendency, deprivation of the father figure and specific features of psychodynamic functioning of the absent father. The physical presence of the father was not, by itself, a predictive factor in a successful emotional development of the children; what proved more important was the father\'s prevailing support of a highly responsive interactive space, suited to the needs of the child, so as to facilitate the child\'s process of transicionality and to encourage the consolidation of the capacity for concern. Hence, the children\'s antisocial behaviour seems to be an attempt of compeling the environment to offer them holding and the conditions to resume the transitional process interrupted by the loss of the parent. In addition to the age in which the deprivation occured, the factor of greatest impact on symptoms of the children was not the moment of development in which the rupture had happened, but the level of preservation of a good internal image of the father presented by the children and their mothers, as well as the possibility of reparation for this loss by other figures in the life of the child. The most significant evidence of obstacles in the spontaneity and in the integration of the Self appear to be related to the higher level of \"obliteration\" and \"degradation\" of the paternal imago, which associate with the possibility of sustaining the spontaneous gesture, the creative living and the benign circle. The sense of loss which the children experience is intensified by the mother\'s difficulty in identifying with their children and their alienation from the paternal family. Thus, therapeutic interventions with the families are clearly necessary to ensure the efficiency of the child\'s treatment. Further studies are encouraged in order to broaden the understanding of this subject.

In order to achieve this purpose, we elaborated a character study of quasi-experimental design which included two distinct groups of a public school in the state of São Paulo. The first group, called the experimental group(GE), composed of 30 students who underwent a differentiated education based on the significance and estimate measures of central tendency, and the second group, called the control group (GC), composed of 27 students who had their classes routine. Were applied to both groups a pre-test to diagnose the level of prior knowledge of students involved, and a post-test after the teaching interventions, to diagnose the effects of these interventions. The theoretical framework of the study included the Theory of Conceptual Fields of Gérard Vergnaud (1982, 1990, 1993, 1996, 1997 and 1998). We also have some related studies by authors such as Batanero et al. (1997), Cazorla (2003), Echeveste et al. (2006), Araujo (2007), Meyen et al. (2007), Silva (2008), Pagan (2009) and Magina et al. (in press). The study aimed to answer the following question: "What contributions in terms of learning, a teaching intervention guided the significance and estimate measures of central tendency, brings high school students?". To this end, has become based on quantitative analysis of the results obtained in the statistical tests applied to two groups involved in the study. The analysis showed a significant gain with the teaching interventions in both GE and CG, as regards the seizure of the basic concepts of mean, mode and median, but a significantly higher performance was presented by students in the experimental group after intervention education. The result showed that the learning process of statistical content, guided by the significance and estimation proved to be effective on the cognitive gain by students on information presented as graphs and tables, and also how to gain strength in regarding knowledge of the statistical study, more specifically, Mean, Mode and Median / O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar as contribuições de uma intervenção de ensino, pautada na significação e estimativa de Medidas de Tendência Central, com base na da leitura de gráficos e tabelas. A fim de atingir o objetivo proposto, elaborou-se um estudo de caráter do tipo quase-experimental que contou com dois grupos distintos de uma escola da rede pública estadual da cidade de São Paulo. O primeiro grupo, denominado Grupo Experimental, composto por 30 alunos que sofreu uma intervenção de ensino diferenciada, baseada na significação e estimativa de Medidas de Tendência Central, e o segundo grupo, denominado Grupo de Controle, composto por 27 alunos, que teve suas aulas rotineiras. Foram aplicados a ambos os grupos um pré-teste, a fim de diagnosticar o nível de conhecimento prévio dos alunos envolvidos, e um pós-teste, após as intervenções de ensino, visando a diagnosticar os efeitos dessas intervenções. O quadro teórico do estudo contou com a Teoria dos Campos Conceituais de Gérard Vergnaud (1982; 1990; 1993; 1996; 1997 e 1998). Contamos ainda com alguns estudos correlatos de autores como Batanero et al. (1997), Cazorla (2003), Echeveste et al. (2006), Araujo (2007), Meyén et al. (2007), Silva (2008), Pagan (2009) e Magina et al. (no prelo). O estudo propôs-se a responder à seguinte questão: Em termos de aprendizagem, quais as contribuições que uma intervenção de ensino pautada na significação e estimativa de Medidas de Tendência Central traz aos alunos do Ensino Médio? . Para tal, tomou-se por base a análise quantitativa dos resultados obtidos nos testes estatísticos aplicados aos dois grupos envolvidos no estudo. As análises apontaram um ganho significativo com as intervenções de ensino nos dois grupos GE e GC, no que diz respeito à apreensão de conceitos básicos sobre Média, Moda e Mediana, contudo um desempenho significativamente superior foi apresentado pelos alunos do grupo experimental, após a intervenção de ensino. O resultado permitiu inferir que o processo de aprendizagem de conteúdos de Estatística, pautado na significação e estimativa, mostrou-se eficaz quanto ao ganho cognitivo por parte dos alunos em informações apresentadas na forma de gráficos e tabelas, e, também, quanto ao ganho adquirido no que diz respeito ao conhecimento dos elementos estatísticos estudados, mais especificamente, Média, Moda e Mediana

This research concentrates on the visual aesthetics of a website, investigating the web user's affective/emotional reactions to different designs of web homepage aesthetics and their influence on subsequent behaviors of web users. Drawing on the existing theories and empirical findings in environmental psychology, human-computer interaction, aesthetics, and marketing research literature, a research model is developed to explore the relationships between the visual aesthetic qualities of a website homepage - webpage visual complexity and order, induced emotional states in users, and users' approach behaviors toward the website. The model predicts that the visual aesthetics of a web homepage elicit specific emotional responses by provoking intrinsic feelings of pleasantness / unpleasantness, arousal, as well as motivational pleasantness / unpleasantness in web users. These elicited emotional responses, which mediate the effect of homepage aesthetic features, in turn affect web users' subsequent behaviors toward the website, such as further approaching/exploring or avoiding the website. A set of pilot studies and a main laboratory experiment were conducted to test the model and its associated hypotheses. Based on the results of pilot studies, 12 versions of a Gift website's homepage, which varied at four levels of complexity and three levels of order, were selected the stimuli materials for the main experiment. A total of 467 undergraduate students participated in the main study. During the main study, we instructed the participants to browse the homepage stimuli for a goal-oriented web search activity or an excitement/enjoyment-seeking web browsing activity, measured how they felt about the homepage and their degree of approach/avoidance tendencies toward the entire website. The results of the study generally confirmed the belief that a web user's initial emotional responses (i.e., pleasantness and arousal) evoked by the aesthetic qualities of a website's homepage he/she first encounters will have carry-over effects on his/her subsequent approach behaviors toward the website.

Abstract Title: Study of Transformational Leadership, Organizational Justice, Job Insecurity, Turnover Tendency, Organizational Commitment, and Self-Efficacy: Taking C Bank as An Example University: National Sun Yat-sen University, Institute of Human Resource Management Date: 2nd Semester of Year 2006 Graduate student: Ching-Chung Chen Advisors: Drs. Liang-Chih Huang & Cheng-Chen Lin In Year 2000 and 2001, the respective passage of the Financial Institutions Merger Act and Financial Holding Company Act encouraged the merger of financial institutions to reach the effect of scale economy with a view to developing capital efficiency, cost saving, and cross selling, the 0so-called 3C. Along with the rapid change of the external environment, the privatization of state-owned banks is both a trend and the way to increase competition. When the environmental changes, the organizations will be merged or have to transform if the service provided are not competitive anymore or substituted by other service. In order to increase the competition of banking industry, the purpose of the study is to explore the relationships among transformational leadership, organizational justice, job insecurity, turnover tendency, affective commitment, and self-efficacy in the banking industry. Accordingly the subjects of this study were the current employees of C bank in Kaohsiung city, Kaohsiung county, Pingtung area, and Taitung area. Data was collected through the survey with a 447 valid questionnaires. Through the statistical analysis including t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression, the findings were as follows. 1. Job insecurity which employees felt significantly differed from their ages, working years for current company, working years for banking and years of colleague with director. However, it showed that demographic statistics variables didn¡¦t make any difference for transformational leadership and organizational justice. 2. With diverse ages, working years for current company, working years for banking and years of colleague with director, employees would show great difference in turnover tendency and affective commitment. 3. Transformational leadership and organizational justice had no significant effect on job insecurity, but there were strong negative correlation with turnover tendency and significant positive correlation with affective commitment. 4. Self-efficacy did not have a significantly moderating effect on referring transformational leadership and organizational justice to job insecurity, turnover tendency, and affective commitment. Key Words: transformational leadership, organizational justice, job insecurity, turnover tendency, ffective commitment, self-efficacy

Grouting as a method of strengthening and sealing rock, soil and concrete is widely used. The possibilities of sealing structures are of great importance from both an economical and environmental point of view. The cost of grouting has in certain projects been as high as the cost for the blasting and excavation of the tunnel. To improve the technique of grouting with cement based material, it is necessary to focus on the properties of the used grout mixture. The ability of a grout to penetrate cavities, channels and porous material, the penetrability, depends on two things, the theology and the filtration tendency. Extensive laboratory tests on stable, low w/c-ratio, injection grouts show that the most significant limitation to their penetrability is the tendency of cement grains to agglomerate into an impermeable filter cake. The properties of a grout that may prevent passing obstructions in the flow path without the cement grains clogging and preventing further penetration is in this work called filtration tendency. An inert material mixture and a cement-based mixture are used for the investigations in this work. The inert material, which is crushed dolomite stone, does not react with the added water in the mixture. The used cement grouts are based upon three types of commercial available Portland cements and four Portland cements with modified grain size distribution curves. Performed tests show that the grain size and grain size distribution is of great importance for the filtration tendency. According to performed experiments with inert and cement material, it seems to be advantageous for the penetrability to have a grain size distribution that contains neither too many fine or coarse grains. It is reasonable to believe that the grain size distribution should be relatively steep (narrow grain size range) between minimum and maximum grain size. The maximum grain size is of importance in terms of for example d95. Too large maximum grain size will prevent penetration of the mixture through obstructions in the flow path. According to performed tests, the value of d95, should be between 4-10 times smaller than the aperture to be penetrated by the cement based mixture. The small grain sizes are also of importance in order to achieve a low filtration tendency of the grout. This is because of the increased tendency for the small grains to flocculation into larger agglomerates, compared to larger grain sizes. The filtration experiments with cement based grouts show that influences of parameters like surface chemistry (use of superplastisisers) and cement chemistry (hydration of cement grains) will strongly affect the filtration tendency of the mixture. To visualize the phenomenon of filtration tendency it can be investigated on a larger scale than usually takes place. Filtration experiments in the scale of approximately 100:1 have been performed in order to see influences of grain concentration, grain shape and the penetrated slot aperture. It can be seen that used grain sizes (monodisperse and inert mixture) should be approximately at least 2-3 times smaller than the aperture to be penetrated by the mixture. Numerical experiments of filtration tendency have also been performed to investigate the possibilities to numerically simulate the influence of grain concentration and slot aperture. The numerical experiments are based on Eulerian flow modelling. / QC 20101007
