Anchorage Performance of Multiple Split Grouting of Prestressed Anchor Cable

Volume 35, Issue 11
Abstract
In order to study the influence of split grouting times on the anchorage performance of prestressed anchor cable, a field test of multisplit grouting was carried out using fiber Bragg grating monitoring technology. The ultimate bearing capacity, displacement, axial force, and shear stress distribution of the anchor cable under different split grouting times were studied. The test results show that (1) compared with conventional grouting methods, multiple split grouting can increase the bearing capacity of the anchor cable by two to three times, and the improvement effect is most obvious in secondary grouting; (2) the number of split grouts has no effect on the axial force of the anchorage section and does not change the shear stress distribution of the anchorage section. The axial and shear stresses of the anchor cable are mainly concentrated at the first 8 m of the anchorage section. With the increasing tension load, debonding and sliding will occur at the front of the anchorage section, and the peak shear stress will move to the depth of the anchorage section. (3) When the anchor cable fails, the total displacement increases with the increase in splitting and grouting times. The conventional grouting anchor cable begins to produce plastic displacement early, while the plastic displacement of the split grouting anchor cable occurs when the external load is close to the failure load. (4) The multiple high-pressure split grouting technology is applicable to the reinforcement of foundation pits or slope engineering and is a valuable support and reinforcement technology.
