Abstract
Deterioration of the grout supporting the hydrostatic bearing runners in the DSN 64-m antennas has been a continuing maintenance problem. This paper describes an investigation, carried out at the University of California at Berkeley, into the effect of oil saturation on the grout. It is concluded that oil saturation as such did not significantly affect the strength of the concrete in either static or cyclic loading. The possibility is raised that the presence of oil as the concrete is placed may inhibit the development of the full strength of the material.
