Pressure-grouted helical pile (PGHP) is an innovative piling system that allows a significant increase in capacity with relatively low additional cost. The constructed by applying pressurized grout during the installation of conventional piles. injected into ground through two nozzles welded to hollow shaft. This paper presents comprehensive laboratory study investigate effect three different n...

Unreinforced masonry is that in which the tensile strength of the masonry is taken into consideration in design. Allowable out-of-plane tensile stress values are a function of the mortar type, such as Portland cement/lime mortar vs. masonry cement mortar or type M or S mortar vs. type N mortar. The allowable tensile stress is also a function of the masonry construction, such as tension parallel...

In the impact-echo method, the presence and the locations of defects in concrete are estimated from identifying peak frequencies in the frequency spectra, which are responsible for the resonance due to time-of-flight from the defects. In practical applications, however, spectra obtained include so many peak frequencies that it is fairly difficult to identify the defects correctly. SIBIE (Stack ...

Prefabricated concrete structure is an important aspect of the building development in China, while grouted sleeve connection represents a key tool for on prefabricated parts. Various grouting defects may arise during prefabrication and actual construction processes, thereby causing unsafe among components. Here, we report determination mechanical properties full-grouted with defects，using defe...

In this preliminary study, the complexity of the corrosion phenomenon of post-tensioning strands in grouted anchorage assemblies was examined and both physicochemical and electrochemical key technical issues were identified. Measurements of oxygen reduction efficiency in high pH electrolytes were conducted to obtain polarization parameters to be used in modeling. The time evolution of electrica...
