Strand Anchor Systems

Our centralizers are made to allow for a minimum of 0.5" (12.7 mm) grout cover or to a specified size. They are available as single wing parts (a minimum of
3 wings is required per location) or as multiple wing elements.
Our strand organizers are fabricated to provide the minimum strand spacing recommended in the PTI manual.

The drill hole size chosen should allow for a minimum gout cover over the corrugated sheath of 0.5" (12.7 mm). If our post-grout pressure lines are used,
allow for a minimum of 1" (25.4 mm) grout cover on the side where the grout pipe is assembled.

Corrosion Protection

Corrosion Protection Classification


In the 2004 Recommendations for Prestressed Rock and Soil Anchors
(Fourth Edition, endorsed by ADSC), the Post-Tensioning Institute,
Phoenix, defines two classes of Corrosion Protection:

Class I,

Encapsulated Tendons
(often referred to as
double corrosion protected, DCP).

Class II,

Grout Protected
Tendons (often referred
to as single corrosion
protected, SCP).

These classes are further outlined

Notes:
1. Clean cut end of strand and debur (chamfer).
2. Mark strand to check proper engagement.
3. Check couplers (inside) to make sure that grippers are clean and springs are in
place.
4. Push strand into coupler and check proper engagement.
5. If strand is not properly engaged, open coupler, push grippers over strand (+1/2,
12.7 mm) and close coupler.
6. To assure proper gripping, coupler may be pre-tensioned with monostrand jack.

Post Grouting System

POST - GROUTING SYSTEMS

PREAMBLE
Post-Grouting improves the bond between the anchor grout and the soil
by creating pressure zones (bulbs) at the location of the valves on the
post-grout line. It is mainly used in cohesive soils to increase the skin
friction.
The CTS post-grouting system is a single line system with an internal
flushing line (ring lines have been used as well in the past but found to
take up to much space in the drill hole).

Installation Sequence
1. After the grout line is assembled (glued together) the line should be
taped to the anchor with the bottom of grout line two ft up from the
bottom of the anchor.
2. Place first stage anchor grout through separate grout line (neat
cement grout or with sand or gravel added). If neat cement grout,
water cement ratio should be W/C = 0.45.

Strand Anchor Systems

The enclosed (full size) drawing shows all the details. A valve section
consists of a 20 ft. PVC pipe C/W 4 valves and one end cap. If required
an additional valve section (20 ft) can be glued to the first one at the
bell end. At the upper end of the grout pipe (PVC) a thread adapter
should be glued on.

3. Immediately after first stage grouting flush out post grout line with
clean water by pushing down the flush line to the bottom of the post
grout line. If water runs out clear, pull out flush line and leave water
inside post-grout line.

Post Grouting System

4. After initial set or max. twenty four hours after the first stage
grouting start pressure grouting through the post grout line with a
high pressure pump capable of 1000 PSI. First start with water to
open the valves, this could take up to 1000 PSI pressure.
5. When pressure drops (valves open up) or no significant pressure
rise, switch over to neat cement grout W/C of0.5 to 0.6. NOTE:
Make sure that grout is mixed thoroughly and is without any lumps.
Pump grout until pressure rises. If pressure does not rise after
several bags of cement, stop pumping and flush out grout line with
water.
6. Twenty four hours later repeat 5 above until a pressure of at least
400 PSI is reached (depending on ground conditions, final pressure
should be between 200 and 100 PSI). Flush out grout line with
water.

7. After anchor is successfully tensioned fill post-grout pipe with grout.

GROUTING SOCK

NOTES:
1. Tape grout tube to anchor, starting
1-0 from bottom of anchor.
2. Place geotextile sock over anchor
and grout tube.
3. Fix and tighten the ends of the sock
by wire or hose clamps.
4. Tape sock (not too tight) to anchor.
5. Insert anchor into drill hole.

CLAMP

6. Pump grout through grout tube


inside sock with 8 to 12 bar (100
psi) pressure and fill and expand
the sock. Effected by this pressure
grouting, the grout mix is dehydrated, the water is pressed out of the
fine mesh leaving the cement to
cure faster.
