LIFTING OF CONCRETE COMPONENTS
A lifting system for a concrete component comprises a void former incorporated into the component during casting and which provides within the component a void which receives a locking pin of a lifting anchor assembly which is locked within the void by rotation of a locking pin. The lifting anchor assembly has a visual indicator to indicate when the pin is in its locked condition within the void, and a pivotal lifting shackle of the assembly is prevented from movement into a position in which lifting can take place until the pin is in its locked condition. Preferably a base of the void former is configured to retain components of a jacking system by which a concrete slab used for road repair can be jacked into a level configuration with the remainder of the roadway when it has been positioned by use of the lifting system.
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FOR QUICKLY AND INTEGRALLY REPLACING DAMAGED PAVEMENT SLAB WITHOUT SUSPENDING FLIGHTS OF CIVIL AVIATION
A construction process for quickly and integrally replacing a damaged pavement slab without suspending flights of civil aviation is provided according to embodiments of the present application, including: a first stage: reinforcing a foundation of a damaged pavement slab by grouting; and a second stage: integrally replacing the damaged slab with early-strength and quick-drying concrete. The construction process of fast overall replacement of a damaged pavement slab in civil aviation non-suspend construction provided by the embodiments of the present application solves the limitations of the traditional pavement slab repair process well. The present application first reinforces the damaged pavement slab foundation through grouting construction to solve the problems of slab bottom vacancy, foundation settlement, and insufficient bearing capacity of the base layer; then uses the early-strength rapid-curing concrete suitable for rapid overall slab replacement of the pavement to carry out overall replacement construction for the damaged pavement slab.
CONNECTION ASSEMBLY, LEVELLING OR LIFTING SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF LEVELLING A SLAB
A connection assembly for connecting a bolt to a slab includes a first connection part and a second connection part. The first connection part and the second connection part may be capable of being assembled to the slab in a manner so as to sandwich the slab with a first clamping member of the first connection part and a second clamping member of the second connection part between two opposite surfaces of the slab. The first connection part and the second connection part may be connected in a manner such that a connection between a first hollow-tubular-connecting-structure of the first connection part and a second hollow-tubular-connecting-structure of the second connection part may be within a through-hole in the slab, which extends between the two opposite surfaces of the slab.

Precast concrete panel patch system for repair of continuously reinforced concrete
A CRCP repair system is provided. The repair system may comprise a precast pavement panel having one or more openings positioned in the bottom, side portions thereof, as well as reinforcing members embedded within the panel. The panel may also include a reinforcing fastening member extending into each of the openings. The repair system may further include a prepared side edge of the CRCP having reinforcing anchoring members epoxy cemented therein and extending therefrom, with the anchoring members configured to extend into the openings of the panel with the panel positioned in the void created by the removed CRCP. The anchoring members may be configured in a pair, with each pair positioned to extend into the opening, with the fastening member extending into the opening between the pair of anchoring members. Each of the fastening members and the anchoring members may have a head on a distal end thereof, with the heads configured to create opposing and overlapping forces within the opening when cementitious adhesive (such as grout) is inserted within the opening and cured.
METHOD FOR MODIFYING CONCRETE SLAB ON SUBSIDED GROUND
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for accurately modifying a concrete slab on subsided ground by injecting an expandable resin below the concrete slab more than once, which also allows for easy control of the work process. The method of the present invention as a means for resolution includes performing the following steps: on a concrete slab in an area including a region where ground subsidence has occurred, determining points to drill injection holes for injecting an expandable resin at a pitch of 0.5 to 2.0 m in a grid pattern or a staggered pattern; injecting an expandable resin below a point where the subsidence of the concrete slab is severest and expanding the expandable resin to push up the concrete slab at most 30 mm more than once.
Method for correcting concrete slab tilting on subsided ground
A method for correcting the tilt of adjacent concrete slabs on subsided ground and connected at a joint part by tie bars or dowel bars caused by the subsidence of the joint part. The method comprises pushing up a tilted concrete slab by: drilling an injection hole for injecting an expandable resin in one concrete slab at a point 10 to 200 cm away from the joint part and also in the other concrete slab at a point 10 to 200 cm away from the joint part, the point in the other concrete slab being on a line that is orthogonal to the joint part and has the point in the one concrete slab thereon; and simultaneously starting an operation of intermittently injecting an expandable resin from both of the injection holes wherein the expandable resin expands below both of the concrete slabs.

SPRAY GUN
A swivel connector for a spray gun includes a first portion, the first portion including a first interior passage that extends entirely through the first portion along a longitudinal axis and a second a second interior passage that extends along a first axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The swivel connector also includes a second portion coupled to the first portion, the second portion including a third interior passage that extends entirely through the second portion along the longitudinal axis, and a fourth interior passage that extends along a second axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The swivel connector also includes a connector pin coupled to both the first portion and the second portion, wherein the connector pin includes a fifth interior passage that extends along the longitudinal axis.
