Weather Resistance of Polyethylene and Carbon Black | What Does the Future Hold for Leveling Mats!?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Not many people can really explain the weather resistance of those leveling mats that go under the load-bearing plates in ground anchor construction, right? lol That’s because nobody’s interested, lol (it’s the kind of thing manufacturers just mention in passing). “Well, it’s PE (polyethylene), so…”
Should the Injection Hose Be Removed When Inserting Rebar? | The True Meaning of Foreign Matter Contamination
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When it comes to rebar insertion work, quite a few people say that the grout hose tends to come loose. Do you know why that happens? The people who say that are mostly laypeople who’ve outsourced construction management—lol. I don’t think many site supervisors say that. (Though there are a few, of course.) &nbs…
What the heck is weather resistance?!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Continuing from last time, here’s the leveling mat used on the underside of the load-bearing plate. The truth about its weather resistance has finally come to light! lol Claims that it’s “weather-resistant” have hardly been verified at all! However, as for cross-linked polyethylene, it is weather-resistant…
Rates for Leveling Material Installation Work | Cost Estimation Information
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I had a hard time figuring out which leveling mat to use under the load-bearing plate. It wasn’t on-site, but I was stuck because I didn’t know which mat was specified in the cost estimate. These days, there are quite a few types of leveling mats available to place under load-bearing plates…
A Discussion of the Thermal Expansion Coefficients of Steel, Concrete, and Polyethylene
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. A while back, I put together some materials addressing the question: “Is there a reason to use steel spacers (PC spacers)?”—specifically, why they’re made of steel. “It’s because the thermal expansion rates are different, so there’s less risk of cracking.” Well…
Should the Injection Hose Be Removed? | 2018 Guidelines
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The thermometer on site read 40 degrees... It’s absolute hell out here. Please be very careful not to pass out! But anyway, when it comes to rebar insertion work, quite a few people say that the grout hose tends to come loose. Do you know why that happens? The people who say that...
