The semi-flexible pavement surface consists of an open-graded asphalt mixture with high percentage voids into which flowable cementitious slurry is allowed to penetrate due to gravitational effect. Several researchers have conducted laboratory, as well as field, experiments on evaluating the performance of semi-flexible layers using different compositions of cementitious grouts. The composition of grouts (i.e., water/cement ratio, superplasticizer, polymers, admixtures, and other supplementary materials) has a significant effect on the performance of grouts and semi-flexible mixtures. A comprehensive review of cementitious grouts and their effect on the performance of semi-flexible layers are presented and summarized in this review study. The effect of byproducts and other admixtures/additives on the mechanical properties of grouts are also discussed. Finally, recommendations on the composition of cementitious grouts have been suggested. © 2022 by the authors. date: 2022 publisher: MDPI official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85137142817&doi=10.3390%2fma15155466&partnerID=40&md5=102d35db061dab7bd138802b72fb75fb id_number: 10.3390/ma15155466 full_text_status: none publication: Materials volume: 15 number: 15 refereed: TRUE issn: 19961944 citation: Khan, M.I. and Sutanto, M.H. and Yusoff, N.I.M. and Zoorob, S.E. and Rafiq, W. and Ali, M. and Fediuk, R. and Vatin, N.I.
