Anchor plates may be made of steel plates, precast concrete slabs, poured concrete slabs, timber sheets and so forth. In this study, uplift resistance of strip anchor plates embedded in cohesion less soils was assessed by conducting previous works. The previous experimental works mentioned that behavior of horizontal strip anchor plates embedded in cohesion less soil has been assessed by small-...

There are many methods for calculating the bearing capacity of a pile foundation. The problem is finding most representative method analysis dynamic load testing (PDA) results in field. This study only covers areas West Surabaya and North Surabaya. used to analyse foundation this empirical method, namely Schmertmann, Meyerhof, L. Decourt finite element (FEM.). research precast foundations. init...

In this study, two short precast concrete columns and two cast-in-situ concrete columns were tested under cyclic loads. It was shown that the sleeve grouted connection was equivalent to the cast-in-situ connections for short columns when the axial compression ratio was 0.6. In order to determine the influence of the axial compression ratio and the shear-span ratio on the shear capacity of the h...

The setting and hardening process of concrete can be considered as the most critical time period during the life of a concrete structure. To assure high quality and avoid problems in performance throughout the life of the material, it is essential to have reliable information about the early age properties of the concrete. This paper presents a new method to monitor the hydration process of cem...

Since the 1950’s, prestressed concrete beams have become a factor in almost one third of all new bridge construction in the United States. In Michigan, prestressed concrete was introduced in 1954 and the first prestressed concrete side-by-side box-beam bridge was built in 1955. Pontis data indicates 2,054 side-by-side prestressed concrete box-beam bridges in Michigan; 236 are part of the Nation...

The rehabilitation of structures is a complex process that involves many considerations. This paper presents results feasibility study on the use precast prestressed concrete prisms (PCPs) as near-surface mounted reinforcement for cracked one-way slabs. PCPs were cast with high-strength and concentrically by one 9 mm diameter stress-relieved seven-wire steel strand. Six identical slabs length 3...
