Upon installation, tiebacks are tested and usually pre-loaded. In specific, a combination of proof tests and performance tests are performed on every job. Proof testing involves the application of successively larger loads on the tieback with a loading jack, allowing for the recording of a load-elongation curve according to gauge readings.
A schematic of a grout curtain, see drill holes and grouted area. A grout curtain is a barrier that protects the foundation of a dam from seepage and can be made during initial construction or during repair. [1] Additionally, they can be used to strengthen foundations and contain spills.
Non-shrink grout being applied to tiles. Non-shrink grout is a hydraulic cement grout that, when hardened under stipulated test conditions, does not shrink, so its final volume is greater than or equal to the original installed volume. It is often used as a transfer medium between load-bearing members.
Grout sealer is a water-based or solvent-based sealant applied over dried grout that resists water, oil, and acid-based contaminants. Grout cleaner is a basic cleaning solution that is applied on grout lines and removes the dirt and dust. [9] A die grinder is used for faster removal of old grout compared to a standard grout saw.
Pressure grouting or jet grouting [1] involves injecting a grout material into otherwise inaccessible but interconnected pore or void space of which neither the configuration or volume are known, and is often referred to simply as grouting. The grout may be a cementitious, resinous, or solution chemical mixture. Some types of injected grout may ...
Solid bars are usually installed into pre-drilled holes and then grouted into place using a separate grout line, whereas hollow bars may be drilled and grouted simultaneously by the use of a sacrificial drill bit and by pumping grout down the hollow bar as drilling progresses. Kinetic methods of firing relatively short bars into soil slopes ...
