The load test program for the Audubon Bridge project provides a comparison of the performance of base grouted and ungrouted shafts on large diameter foundations in sand. Comparison of several field load tests at the two pylon foundations indicate that the ...

<p>Measurements on back-fill grouting at Groene Hart Tunnel (GHT) are described and analysed. The research utilises TBM data, monitored grout pressures and measured rheological properties of tunnelling fluids. Grout injection strategy and vertical grout pressure ...

The development of strain and long instrumented postdriving grouted cylinder piles is presented.

This paper discusses some of the problems encountered with water ingress on the 72km of tunnels on this project. Grouting is always a significant portion of dam projects and with the quantities of water expected in the tunnels, was also going to be an important ...

Drilled displacement piles are installed by the displacement of soil and subsequent placement of fluid cement grout within the evacuated volume. Depending on the soil grain-size characteristics, soil behavior, in situ soil density, pile spacing, and pile diameter, ...

The use of base grouting (tip grouting) to enhance the axial capacity of drilled shaft foundations can achieve improvements in economy and reliability for many types of projects and soil profiles. Recent experiences on a range of different construction projects ...

The subsurface conditions for a proposed six-story $94M medical facility in Knoxville, Tennessee, consisted of a thick clay layer overlying an irregular weathered limestone bedrock surface. Because the design loads were significant and because of the sinkhole ...

The paper presents a decision making process for the determination of the numerous grouting parameters during design and the necessary corrective and evaluation actions during field trials or systematic grouting. Special application of design and execution ...

<p>The rock itself is a significant barrier against groundwater movement if it has low porosity and is unweathered. The existence of discontinuities in the rock mass however increases the permeability and it may vary widely. In the Himalayas, active tectonic ...

<p>Taksim&ndash;Kabatas&cedil; Funicular System Project is planned to integrate the metro system and sea transportation routes by connecting the Taksim Station of the Metro System and the Kabatas&cedil; Sea Bus Pier. The system is also connected to the tramway ...
