TIEBACKS and TIEDOWNS can be
installed in virtually any ground condition using rotary, percussion or
down-the-hole hammer tooling. The critical design elements are the
capacity (Kips), length of unbonded zone, corrosion protection (Class I or
II or none), grout cover (usually 1/2"), and testing
specs. The contractor usually selects the bonding length, grout
additives, tendon supplier and provides a shop drawing. |
