Compensation grouting is a technique to offset settlement induced during tunneling and underground excavation. The main idea of compensation grouting is to inject grouts into the zone between tunnel and overlying building to compensate for ground loss and stress relieve owing to underground excavation. The injection of grout changes the in-situ stress state and influences the soil deformation.

Compensation grouting could be implemented by fracture grouting and compaction grouting. Normal grouting can be carried out in situations such as post-grouting of mini-piles and filling of voids without the effect of compensation of ground loss and stress relieve.
