Tie-rods


Calculation Methodology


The self injectable tierod load capacity may be defined by the calculation method proposed by the Engineers Ivan Joppert Jr., William Mallmann and Walter Iorio, presented at SEFE V Seminar of Engineering and Special Foundations and Geotechnics, as:

 

Rrup = 9,2 x Nspt x Ø x L x K, where:

 

Rrup - Tie-rod rupture load
Nspt - SPT average number in the region of anchoring bulb implantation
Ø - diameter of the perforating element (tricone or drill) in meters
L - anchoring length of the tierod in meters
K - coefficient subject to the type of soil defined in t/m2 according to the following table:

Type of soil
Coefficient K (t/m²)
Clay/ Silt
1,00
Very clayish sand /with silt
0,60
Little clayish sand / with silt
0,40
Sand
0,30
