05-PCJPB-C-029

CONFORMED SECTION 02455-8 TIEBACK ANCHORS

F. At locations where caving conditions are anticipated, sufficient casing and auger lengths shall be available on site to maintain uninterrupted installation of ground anchors.

G. At locations where hard drilling conditions such as rock, cobbles, boulders, or obstructions are anticipated, a down hole pneumatic hammer drill rig and drill bit shall be available on site to drill holes for ground anchors.

H. Holes shall be cleaned to remove material resulting from drilling operations. Tieback anchors shall not be inserted in the drilled holes until the holes have been inspected by the Engineer.

I. Tieback anchors shall be installed in drilled holes in an expeditious manner so that caving or deterioration of the drilled holes does not occur. Before installing a tieback anchor, repair or replace any damaged portions of the sheathing.

J. Where a tieback anchor cannot be completely inserted without difficulty, the Contractor shall remove the anchor and clean or redrill the hole to permit unobstructed installation. Partially inserted anchors shall not be driven or forced into the drilled hole and will be rejected. When open-hole drilling methods are being used, the Contractor shall have hole cleaning tools on site suitable for cleaning drilled holes along their full length just prior to anchor insertion and grouting.

K. The diameter of the drilled hole shall be large enough to provide a minimum of one inch grout cover for the full length of the tendon. Centralizers shall be placed at 10-foot maximum intervals for the full length of the tendon, with the uppermost centralizer located 2 feet from the end of the steel tube and the deepest centralizer located 2 feet from the end of the anchor.

L. Pregrouting of bar tendons shall occur at least 48 hours before placing the tendon in the drilled hole.

M. Prior to installing each anchor assembly into the drilled hole, the anchor assembly shall be clean and free of oil, grease, dirt, or other extraneous substances, and any damage to the sheathing shall be repaired or replaced.

N. After placing initial grout, the anchor shall remain undisturbed until the grout has reached a strength sufficient to provide anchorage during testing operations.

O. At each grouting stage, inject the grout at the low end of the void to be filled. Place the grout using grout tubes. Do not place grout in the unbounded length under pressure. Record the quantity of grout and the grout pressures. The grout should be kept in constant agitation prior to pumping. The Contractor shall provide a stable, homogenous neat cement grout or sand cement grout with a minimum 28-day unconfined compressive strength of 4,000 psi. The grout shall not contain lumps or any other evidence of poor or incomplete mixing. The use of compressed air to directly pressurize the fluid grout is not permissible. The grout pressures and grout takes shall be controlled to prevent excessive heave.

P. For post-grouting, grout tubes shall be installed prior to the tremie grouting. Upon completion of grouting, the grout tube may remain in the hole but it shall be filled with grout.

3.03 TESTING

A. Proof test the ground anchors in accordance with ASTM D3689 except as modified herein. The anchor test load, T, shall be based on the demands shown on the drawings for which the anchor was designed.

B. Load testing shall be performed against adjacent tieback anchors using the test reaction frame designed by the Contractor. Load testing shall not be performed directly against the soil or structure. The test frame shall be designed to equally distribute the test load among the reaction anchors. Concrete shall either attain a compressive strength of 2880 pounds per square inch or cure for 7 days before loading. Test loads shall be applied using a hydraulic jack supported by a reaction frame capable of supporting the test equipment without excessive deformation. Each jack and its gage shall be accompanied by a certified calibration chart. Test loads shall be maintained within 5 percent of the intended load throughout hold periods. The magnitude of applied test loads shall be determined with a calibrated pressure gage or a load cell.

C. Movements of the end of the anchor, relative to an independent fixed reference point, shall be measured using a gage capable of measuring to 0.001-inch and recorded to the nearest 0.001-inch at each load increment, including the ending alignment load, during the load tests. The gage shall have sufficient capacity to allow the test to be completed without resetting the gage during testing. Unloading or repositioning of test equipment during testing will not be allowed. The Contractor shall perform the measuring and recording and shall furnish the Engineer copies of the recorded movements.

D. A minimum of 1 tieback anchor shall be proof tested. The Engineer shall determine the location of the anchor to be proof tested.

E. The proof test shall be conducted by measuring and recording the test load applied to the tieback anchor and the tieback anchor end movement during incremental loading and unloading of the anchor in accordance with the loading schedule. The maximum test load shall be held constant for 10 minutes. During the maximum test load hold, the movement of the end of the tendon shall be measured at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10 minutes. If the total movement between one minute and 10 minutes exceeds 0.04-inch, the maximum test load shall be held for an additional 50 minutes. Total movement shall be measured at 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. If the maximum test load is held for 60 minutes, a creep curve showing the creep movement between 6 minutes and 60 minutes shall be plotted as a function of the logarithm of time. The load shall be reduced to the ending alignment load and the residual movement shall be recorded.

G. The jacking equipment, including the tendon movement measuring system, shall be stable during all phases of the ground anchor loading operations.

H. If a tieback anchor fails to conform to the acceptance criteria, the Contractor shall be directed to proof test another anchor in the vicinity and the tieback anchor shall be redesigned or replaced. Modifications to the design or construction procedure might include, but are not limited to, installing replacement anchors, incorporating anchors of reduced load capacities, modifying installation methods, increasing bond length, performing additional post-grouting or changing the ground anchor type. Any modification shall have prior review and acceptance by the Engineer. Tieback anchors shall not be retested, unless the anchor bonded length is post-grouted after the unacceptable test.

I. A proof tested tieback anchor shall conform to the following acceptance criteria:

1. The total measured movement at the maximum test load minus the measured residual movement at the ending alignment load exceeds 80 percent of the theoretical elastic elongation of the sum of the unbonded length and the jacking length.

2. The total measured movement is less than maximum movement shown on the plans.
