Provided is an anchor assembly having a pre-stressed mandrel, which consists of an inner pre-stressed concrete mandrel and an outer cast-in-place anchoring slurry, wherein pre-stressed tendons are arranged inside the concrete mandrel and are prefabricated by a pretensioning method; the anchoring slurry wraps the pre-stressed concrete mandrel, and the cast-in-place anchoring slurry is formed by placing the pre-stressed concrete mandrel in a pile hole, and solidifying after primary grouting or secondary grouting. According to the anchor assembly, the pre-stress is not required to be tensioned and locked on site, so that the quality of the pre-stressed mandrel can be ensured, the on-site construction period can be greatly shortened, and the existing pre-stressed and common non-pre-stressed anchors can be replaced.

Provided are a testing apparatus for a pile end settlement of a rock-socketed driven PHC tube pile and an installation method thereof. The testing apparatus comprises a PHC tube pile, two measuring tubes, a cross pile tip, a pile tip steel plate, a fixer fixed in the PHC tube pile, a perforated steel plate located at a pile top of the PHC tube pile and a jack pressed on the perforated steel plate. The two measuring tubes are symmetrically arranged, the fixer is provided with two first measuring tube outlet holes, and the two measuring tubes respectively pass through the first measuring tube outlet holes of the fixer; and the perforated steel plate is also provided with two second measuring tube outlet holes, and the two measuring tubes respectively pass through the second measuring tube outlet holes of the perforated steel plate.

Near-Surface Mounting Bar (NSMB) Pile Splice systems and methods are provided as an alternative splicing method to connect driven precast concrete pile segments. These systems are applicable to both unforeseen and preplanned splicing needs and provide excellent advantage especially for the unforeseen condition when other splice systems fail to provide the required capacity. These systems offer completely unique and new methods of connecting and splicing precast prestressed concrete pile segments and all other prismatic precast concrete elements.

The subject invention pertains to a completely new pile splicing system called Grouted Sleeve Coupler Splice (GSCS) for Precast Concrete Piles (PCPs) as an innovative alternative splicing method for connecting driven PCP segments. The provided splicing method is applicable for preplanned situations and provides a durable, labor-friendly, rapid, and economical foundation construction method. In this system, to improve the structural performance, the entire sleeve coupler and a portion of the dowels are partially debonded in short lengths from surrounding concrete. This connection system is novel in conjunction with PCPs and for connecting separate precast pile segments. The provided system offers a completely unique and new method of connecting and splicing PCP segments and other prismatic prefabricated piles.

A post-tensioned tube foundation for supporting a structure subject to high upset forces is described herein. The post-tensioned tube foundation includes an outer CMP, an inner CMP, and a tubular concrete base positioned between the inner CMP and the outer CMP. The outer CMP includes an inner surface that defines a cavity extending between a first open end and an opposite second open end. The outer CMP is positioned within an excavated hole defined along a ground surface. The inner CMP is positioned within the cavity of the outer CMP such that an annular space is defined between the inner CMP and the outer CMP. The tubular concrete base is positioned within the annular space defined between the inner CMP and the outer CMP. A plurality of bracing beams extend radially outwardly from the tubular concrete base.
