Abstract: In order to improve the impermeability of ordinary “cement–water glass” double-liquid grouting material, this study prepares a composite grouting material with sodium bentonite, cement, and water glass as the main materials, water-reducing agent, and early strength agent as activators. In this study, orthogonal tests were conducted using an L 16 (4 5 ) orthogonal table and the test results were analyzed using regression analysis. Using bentonite instead of partial cement, the experimental factors of the bentonite ratio, glass slurry ratio, water-reducing agent admixture, and early strength agent admixture were used to study the laws of single-factor and two-factor interactions on the initial apparent viscosity, setting time, and compressive strength of composite grouting materials. After obtaining the optimal ratio of composite grouting materials, the mechanism of formation of material strength and seepage resistance properties was revealed. The results show that the mass ratio of bentonite to cement and the mass ratio of water glass to slurry have a large effect on the material properties, and there is an interactive effect of several factors at the same time. The optimal ratio of the material is 28.42% water, 36.58% cement, 6.20% bentonite, 0.04% water-reducing agent, 0.9% early strength agent, and 27.85% water glass. The microstructural analysis shows that the denseness of the stone body structure is enhanced, and thus the strength and impermeability of the material are improved. This composite grouting material improves injectability and seepage resistance and is more suitable for underpinning grouting of weakly cemented soft rocks, but the ratio optimization method and model used in this study can be applied to other materials.
