Abstract: This study develops a green, high-performance, cement-based grout by replacing manufactured sand with iron tailings sand (ITS) at ratios of 0-50% to address resource depletion. Fluidity, mechanical strength, and expansion rates were experimentally evaluated to determine engineering feasibility. The results indicate that while ITS inclusion reduces fluidity due to particle morphology, it significantly enhances compressive strength through a physical filling effect. Specifically, the 30% replacement group achieved a peak 28-day compressive strength of 100.4 MPa. Comprehensive analysis identifies 40% as the optimal replacement rate, where the grout strictly satisfies relevant industry specifications regarding fluidity, early strength, and volume stability. This research demonstrates the practical significance of utilizing industrial solid waste to produce high-performance sleeve grout for prefabricated construction.
