In geotechnical engineering, a tieback is a structural element installed in soil or rock to transfer applied tensile load into the ground. Typically in the form of a horizontal wire or rod, or a helical anchor, a tieback is commonly used along with other retaining systems (e.g. soldier piles , sheet piles, secant and tangent walls) to provide ...
Soil nailing evolved from the New Austrian tunnelling method, which is a system for underground excavations in rock.This method consists of passive steel reinforcement in the rock followed by the application of reinforced shotcrete.
Tieback may refer to: Tieback (geotechnical) , a method of supporting retaining walls Tieback (subsea) , a connection between a new oil and gas discovery and an existing production facility, such as the Brae oilfield
To prevent the concrete wall from collapsing into the newly excavated area, temporary supports such as tiebacks or internal crossbeams are installed. When completed, the structure built within the walled-off area usually supports the wall, so that tiebacks or other temporary bracing may be optionally removed.
Additional vertical and horizontal rebar is then secured to the new elements, a form is erected, and an additional layer of concrete is poured. This modification may be combined with additional footings in excavated trenches and additional support ledgers and tie-backs to retain the span on the bounding walls.
If you're traveling for the holidays, you're probably feeling a bit worn-down—but is it just fatigue, or could it be COVID-19?. It’s probably been a minute since you last thought about COVID ...
Rebar (short for reinforcement bar or reinforcing bar), known when massed as reinforcing steel or steel reinforcement, [1] is a tension device added to concrete to form reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures to strengthen and aid the concrete under tension.
