摘要:
The invention relates to a method for providing mechanical continuity and the transmission of stresses between two adjacent panels of a reinforced concrete wall cast in the ground, which is characterized by the use of a plurality of jacks the bodies of which are embedded in the concrete of a panel n and the stems are embedded in the concrete of the panel n+1. The invention is useful in the field of civil engineering constructional work.

The invention relates in the first place to a soil and/or water-retaining wall.In accordance with the invention this wall is composed of at least partially prefabricated load-bearing uprights and intervening curved shells, formed in the soil of concrete or similar hardenable material, which connect on both sides in jointless fashion to the uprights.The invention furthermore comprises a method for the formation of this soil and/or water-retaining wall.According to this method prefabricated uprights are introduced into the soil at a distance from each other, whereafter, for the formation in the soil of an intervening curved shell, a forming mould is introduced into the soil between consecutive uprights and is subsequently withdrawn again, whereby during this withdrawal a mortar is fed into the cavity underneath the mould and fills this cavity.Finally the invention comprises a forming mould suitable for use with this method. This mould has such dimensions that the same is introduced between the uprights with a clamping fit.
摘要:
A method and a device for obtaining a water-tight shield in a soil apt to being disintegrated by liquid jets, by driving a tool into the soil and filling the furrow left by the tool while it is taken off, by a settable mortar, the operation being repeated step by step so that the tool every time encroaches upon the shield portion obtained during the preceding operation. The tool is driven into the soil through the injection of a settable grout used for disintegrating the soil, which supports the walls of the excavation and is mixed with the disintegrated soil so as to provide a mortar which after setting will form the impervious shield, the injection of grout being carried on during taking off of the tool.

There is disclosed a tool for squaring off and reaming the walls of an elongated trench excavation which has been previously formed utilizing the slurry trench excavation method. The tool is constituted by a pair of spaced parallel steel beams which are connected and maintained in their space relation by a plurality of connecting steel lattice bars. The lower edges of the beams and the lower connecting lattice bars have cutting and smoothing edges formed thereon for smoothing and squaring the walls of the elongated excavation. The tool may be left in the last excavation of a series and serve as the connected H-beam pair as disclosed in the article appearing in the October, 1973 issue of Roads and Streets Magazine entitled "Slurry Wall, Special Equipment Solved `No Room` Excavation Problem".

There is disclosed an improved method of constructing an underground reinforced concrete wall utilizing the slurry trench excavation method. According to the invention, at least a pair of spaced elongated primary excavations each adapted to receive a pair of H-beams rigidly joined together by steel lattice work; and a rebar cage. The channel or space in each H-beam at the outer channel between the flange and webs is filled with a polystyrene foam attached to the cage by steel plates and angles. These elements are lowered into the primary excavations and concrete is poured therein filling the spaces in the excavations and displacing any bentonite slurry from the trench to form primary wall elements. Thereafter, intermediate excavations are performed between the concreted sections and the H-beam portions thereof, the polystyrene foam being easily removed from the outer channel and the H-beam channel with the flanges thereof serving as guide elements for the excavating tool. According to a preferred procedure, the spaces between the first two primary wall panels have a length at least equal to a multiple greater than one of the primary wall panel excavations for secondary wall elements to be formed in the intermediate space. In this way, the same excavating tool can be used for forming equally spaced elements and the excavating tool will not in any way be impeded by engagement with steel H-beams since at least one end of the tool will be free to bite into earth or the space of an adjacent excavation. In order to form a reinforced excavation around and below underground utilities, and other obstructions, the earth between the two previous excavations is excavated, two beams are placed on either side of the utility or obstruction and the intervening excavation panel is cast with concrete without the use of a reinforcing cage or is cast using a steel fiber reinforced concrete in place of the reinforcing, is inserted to thereby form a reinforced wall in combination with the H-beam. There is also disclosed a novel method and apparatus for reducing wall thickness and decorating and improving surface finish of cast-in-situ underground concrete walls.

A method of forming a row of concrete piles in ground is disclosed wherein it is possible to position piles sufficiently close that additional concrete shoring on either side or between piles is unnecessary. A hole for a pile is first bored, the ground forming the hole is hardened and thereafter filled with concrete. This process is repeated for subsequently drilled holes until the row is completed. A drill is also disclosed which includes jet means to force ground hardening liquid under high pressure into the ground surrounding the hole. The jet means may be rotatably and/or axially moveable within the hole.

The expression ''''headwall'''' refers to the reinforced concrete structure which supports one end of a large pipe and retains earth fill on one side. Instead of building concrete forms on the site the headwall is poured into a form made from two identical lightweight plastic concave sections which are made to shape and size by vacuum forming identical plastic sheets placed back-toback to produce the mold which is a shell having the two sections attached together by plastic strips or the like. Each concave plastic section is vacuum formed with an intricate shape to produce an outwardly extending base and an upright retaining wall which may have a circular or oval-shaped hole passing through the walls to accommodate the drainage pipe. The plastic walls around the hole may be weak so as to distort around the pipe or may be split. The completed form has openings at the top through which concrete is poured. The bottom may be open so that concrete can come into contact with the irregular terrain or soil.

METHODS FOR OVER-WATER CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGE PIERS, AND THE LIKE, ESPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR USE AT DEEP-WATER, SHALLOW-OVERBURDEN SITES UTILIZING A UNITARY FULL-DEPTH CAISSION WHICH IS PREFABRICATED OFF SITE. FLOATATION AND BALLAST CHAMBERS IN THE CAISSION FACILITATE MOVEMENT TO LOCATION, ACCURATE PLACEMENT ON SITE, AND INITIAL SINKING. A PLURALITY OF FULL-DEPTH CAISSIONS ARE INTERLOCKED LONGITUDINALLY DURING ON-SITE ASSEMBLY TO PRODUCED A PIER OF DESIRED CROSS-SECTIONAL CONFIGURATION. LENGTHS OF INDIVIDUAL CAISSIONS ARE SELECTED TO CONFORM TO SUBTERRANEAN SUPPORT TOPOGRAPHY. A WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION BLOCK IS CASTANCHORED TO THE CAISSIONS.
