*The expansive pressure of Bustar develops in a progressive manner and is proportional to the time elapsed since loading (Fig 1). Power increases as time passes. Although fragmentation takes place within 12 to 24 hours, the progressive action of Bustar expansive grout continues for four days in summer and eight days in winter reaching a pressure of over 7000 T/m2 (rock and concrete break at between 1500 and 3000 T/m2).
