Important Considerations When Selecting a Zabuton Frame
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Did you know there are some spots where installing zabuton frames can be risky? The primary function of a zabuton frame is to level out uneven ground, right? They’re used to level the ground when installing load-bearing plates because the unevenness of the natural ground can’t be corrected otherwise.  …
Sequence for Installing and Removing Temporary Ground Anchors
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. What happens after temporary anchors are installed? Well, since they’re temporary, they’re removed once the permanent construction work is complete. They’re removed in the reverse order of installation. In the photo, they were installed from the top down, the lower section was excavated, and temporary anchors were placed at the bottom…
What on earth is 1,230 kg of cement slurry?!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. What Is the Mix Design for Cement Slurry? | A W/C Ratio of 50% Is the Standard for Slope Stabilization Work. To begin with, cement slurry is a paste-like grout made by mixing cement powder and water. In slope stabilization work, it is used in ground anchor work, rock bolt work, rebar insertion work…
Use handy tools to automate tasks so you don’t have to think about them—boost your efficiency and head home early!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. What do you think of this photo? lol This is the job site. lolol If only the weather were better, it would be the perfect job site! I think our technical intern from Nepal will be really happy. Since he’s from a landlocked country, the ocean seems to really “get him going.” ^^ This year…
The holding time during tensioning in ground anchor construction can be reduced!
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I went to the office last Sunday. There, I found a machine standing all alone in the silence. Just one finished machine, standing all by itself. I couldn’t help but grin at the machine’s aesthetic beauty lol. Machines really are great, aren’t they? Anyway, moving on to ground anchors…
Wouldn't it be better for the tension in ground anchor work to be lower than the design anchor force?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. How much tension is typically applied to ground anchors? You probably don’t understand what I mean, do you? lol For example, as shown in the photo above, if the maximum test load is 39 MPa, the test is conducted by applying a load of 39 MPa. …
You should think of pressure impregnation as more of an optional feature.
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The strong winds are blowing pollen right into my eyes—it’s pure hell! It’s times like this when I’m actually glad I’m working indoors lol (sorry). I’m just chugging medicine to cope lol. Anyway, do you have any standards (for yourself) regarding pressure during ground anchor installation? Well…
I’d like to see “Zabuton” frames combined with leveling mats become the standard solution for addressing unevenness in ground anchor construction!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I imagine you use zabuton frames when installing pressure plates in ground anchor construction. I suspect most consulting engineers involved in the design aren’t aware of this, but simply installing these frames doesn’t guarantee that you can completely level the ground.  …
The final and most critical step in ground anchor installation is applying anti-rust oil to the head!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The ground anchor project I worked on for the past three months has finally wrapped up. It was a seawall restoration project at a coastal site. The original seawall had collapsed due to the force of the backwash. The power of backwash is truly incredible, isn’t it? And now…
