A cement and water mix

B clay suspension

C sodium silicate

D bitumen emulsion

E all the above.

ANS:E - all the above.

  1. Cement and water mix: This is indeed a common fluid used for grouting.
  2. Clay suspension: While clay suspensions might be used in certain specialized grouting applications, they are not as commonly used as cement and water mix.
  3. Sodium silicate: Sodium silicate can be used for certain types of grouting, but it is not as common as cement and water mix.
  4. Bitumen emulsion: Bitumen emulsion is typically not used for grouting purposes.
