A method for constructing an assembled recyclable rectangular working well with preset detachable door openings comprises steps of: (I) designing according to functional requirements for a rectangular working well; (II) constructing by supporting piles; (III) installing prefabricated top beam; (IV) edge protection construction; (V) alternate construction of earthwork excavation, retaining slabs and internal support breast beams; (VI) installing the ladder entering the rectangular working well; (VII) rectangular working well back cover; (VIII) demolition of the detachable subsection support piles in the door part and completing the construction of the assembled recyclable rectangular working well in the preset detachable door hole; (IX) after the operation in the well is completed, during the backfilling process of the rectangular working well, gradually recovering the working well components such as the retaining slab, the internal support girder, the prefabricated crown beam and the supporting piles.

Geosynthetic reinforced wall panels comprising soil reinforcing hoop members and retaining wall system formed therewith is disclosed. Namely, a geosynthetic panel wall system is provided that includes at least one concrete facing panel that has at least one stabilizing hoop coupled thereto and wherein a soil reinforcing element or strip may be coupled to the stabilizing hoop. Additionally, a method of using the presently disclosed geosynthetic panel wall system reinforced with at least one stabilizing hoop and soil reinforcing element is provided.

Provided is an erosion control kit (ECK) comprising: (I) an erosion control block comprising: (a) a degradable box-shaped frame of latticed ligament with a top, bottom and four sides; (b) a degradable fabric framed just inside the top, bottom and four sides of the frame and defining an interior space; and (c) soil substantially filling the interior space; and (II) one or more anchors configured to bind a bottom portion of the frame to a substratum. Related erosion control features and methods are further provided.

A pinned base connector affixing a structural member to a foundation at one or more levels of a construction. The pinned base connector includes a baseplate affixed to the foundation. A column support plate is affixed to the baseplate via a pivot block. The pivot block is affixed to the baseplate to allow rotation of the pivot block relative to the baseplate about a first axis. The column support plate is affixed to the pivot block to allow rotation of the column support plate relative to the pivot block about a second axis orthogonal to the first. A column or other structural member may then be affixed to a surface of the column support plate.

A construction device and method for a lateral bracing in an ultra-deep foundation pit with silt includes a first-layer lateral bracing member, a plurality of suspension rope systems and construction operation plates. The first-layer lateral bracing member is connected with the enclosing structure of the foundation pit. The suspension rope systems include saddles, slings and joists. The saddles are connected with the first-layer lateral bracing member, and the construction operation plates are connected with the joists.

The open end friction pile comprises of four steel plates, four brackets, and one driving head. The steel plates have a first bend line and a second bend line that are equidistant from a distal end. The first bend line and second bend line of the steel plates are equidistant from each other creating a center portion. The brackets have a first bend line and a second bend line that are equidistant from a distal end. The first bend line and second bend line of the brackets are equidistant from each other creating a center portion. The bracket has a third bend line along the center portion. One bracket is connected to one steel plate along the distal ends and center portion. All four steel plates and four brackets concurrently connect along the distal ends to form two open-ends. A driving head is connected covering the top open-end.

Provided are a reinforcing method and a reinforcing structure for a manhole having a neck part in a position shifted from the middle part of an upper slab which allow the buried manhole to be reinforced sufficiently against stress inflicted thereon while reducing the operation and material costs involved in the reinforcement. The manhole reinforcing method according to the invention is a method for reinforcing a manhole including a rectangular trunk part having an upper slab, a sidewall, and a lower slab and a neck part provided in a position shifted from a middle part of the upper slab of the trunk part, the method includes providing a strip-shaped reinforcing member of reinforced fiber at the upper slab and the lower slab while refraining from providing the strip-shaped reinforcing member at the sidewall, and fixing an upper part of the sidewall and the upper slab and a lower part of the sidewall and the lower slab each by a reinforcing member at the middle part of the sidewall in the longitudinal direction of the trunk part.
