  2. Runway end identifier light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runway_end_identifier_light

    Runway end identifier lights REIL installed near the runway 19 threshold at Teterboro Airport as seen from an approaching aircraft. Runway end identifier lights (REIL [1]) (ICAO identifies these as Runway Threshold Identification Lights) are installed at many airports to provide rapid and positive identification of the approach end of a ...

  3. Displaced threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displaced_threshold

    A portion of the runway behind a displaced threshold has three markings: [1] White arrows along the center line of the runway; White arrow heads across the width of the runway just prior to the displaced threshold bar; A 10 feet (3.0 m) wide white threshold bar across the width of the runway at the displaced threshold

  4. Pile integrity test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pile_integrity_test

    Pile integrity testing using low-strain tests such as the TDR (Transient Dynamic Response) method, is a rapid way of assessing the continuity and integrity of concrete piled foundations. The test measures: pile length, or depth to anomalies; pile head stiffness; pile shaft mobility, which is dependent on pile section and concrete properties

  7. Tieback (geotechnical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tieback_(geotechnical)

    Grouted tiebacks can be constructed as steel rods drilled through a concrete wall out into the soil or bedrock on the other side. Grout is then pumped under pressure into the tieback anchor holes to increase soil resistance and thereby prevent tiebacks from pulling out, reducing the risk for wall destabilization.

  9. Schmidt hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_hammer

    The test hammer hits the concrete at a defined energy. Its rebound is dependent on the hardness of the concrete and is measured by the test equipment. By reference to a conversion chart, the rebound value can be used to determine the concrete's compressive strength. When conducting the test, the hammer should be held at right angles to the ...
