The results show that, firstly, the initial fluidity of sulphoaluminate cement is proportional to water-cement ratio and metakaolin blending ratio; secondly, the higher water-cement ratio is, the lower microexpansion rate is, even with a little contraction. In general , expansion rate increases with metakaolin blending ratio; compressive strength is inversely proportional to water-cement ratio and metakaolin blending ratio; the flexural strength of specimens cured for 7 days decreases with the increasing metakaolin blending ratio, while the flexural strength of specimens cured for 28 days is on the contrary; flexural strength decreases with the increasing water-cement ratio, and the decline rate is relatively large; bonding strength increases first and then decreases with the increasing water-cement ratio; while with increasing metakaolin blending ratio, bonding strength increases overall, and in particular, peak value occurs under water-cement ratio of 0.5. The experimental results provide theoretical basis for the field grouting test in Longmen Grottoes, and also provide reference for grouting repair in similar stone cultural relics. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.11988/ckyyb.20150501
