The present study "Dynamic Properties of Chemically Grouted Sand" aims to provide the knowledge required in the area of soil reinforcement. The objectives of this study are to experimentally quantify the changes in the properties of the grout and the sand with the cure time, to evaluate the contribution of the sand and the inclusions and it’s overall behavior, to develop endurance “relationships” for both grout and sand under loading conditions and the use of the properties, of the components in the pattern formulation to predict the response of the injected sand. The study consists of experimental research on the physical and mechanical properties of chemically injected sand with water-soluble epoxy-resin and the theoretical information of the individual materials - resin, bentonite. The content is split into 6 chapters, each of which has its own particularity:  The first chapter reports the oretical information on the category of resins, and in particular epoxy-resin, which includes resin chemistry, general characteristics, concrete crack repairs and applications.  The second chapter contains theoretical information on Bentonite  The third chapter analyzes sand’s granulometry  The fourth chapter consists of the experimental process. Particular reference is made to the production of specimens, maintenance, but also to the various tests they have undergone.  The fifth chapter presents the results of the tests in which the samples that were stressed. Detailed tables and charts of each test are included and also the experimental process and its results are analyzed through tables and diagrams.
