What Is Ground Anchor Construction? | 23 Practical Q&As Explained by a 30-Year Slope Engineering Expert [Complete Edition]
Summary of this page: Ground anchor construction is a method in which anchor bodies are installed in stable soil deep underground, and the tensile force of prestressed steel is used to stabilize slopes and structures. Speaking from my experience as a slope engineer who has designed, constructed, and supervised ground anchor projects on-site for over 30 years, I will cover drilling, grouting, tension control…
How to Use the Grout Calculation Tool | Automatic Calculation Based on Drill Hole Diameter and Length
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s that time of year again for the labor cost survey. This is such a hassle. The office staff… lol. They grumble about it every year. The office staff, lol. Plus, since we get assigned to several locations at once, we end up turning down a bunch of them and only going to one—but honestly, it’s a pain. Construction CALS, and…
Cement Slurry Pressure Test (Part 2) | Video Demonstrating the De-watering Effect of the Packer
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. This is a repost from Ameblo. I don’t really watch TV, but my kids told me they saw on TV that penguins squat, so I looked it up and it had me in stitches lol. Anyway, moving on—the other day, I tested the compressive strength of the packer I made…
Cement Slurry Pressure Test (Part 1) | Experiment to See If Strength Increases Under Pressure
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. This is a repost from Ameblo. People say that applying pressure during grout injection concentrates the grout and increases its strength. I don’t think it makes any difference, lol. Does concentration really increase strength?? And it’s not like the pressure is maintained after injection either…
Standards for Cement Slurry Compressive Strength Tests | Why Three Tests in the Morning and Three in the Afternoon?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve switched to WordPress to replace my “New Enta’s Slope Management School,” but I’m still not used to it yet, haha. I’ve been writing on Ameblo for eight years now. Getting used to something can be kind of scary in a way, haha. I just don’t know how to navigate the software’s features yet, lol. Anyway…
Glycerin-Filled vs. Standard Pressure Gauges | How Slope Engineers Choose Between Them
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The whole world is abuzz with talk of President Trump these days. Personally, when I look at President Trump’s background and career, I can’t help but think he’s had an incredibly tough life, don’t you agree?
