Abstract: This article provides recommendations on how to evaluate existing passive anchorage systems for Tainter gates. A review of various types of passive anchorage systems is provided, along with a detailed example problem. The ...

Abstract: This paper reviews the design of accessible anchor galleries that allow the inspection, testing, and replacement of post-tensioned trunnion girder anchorage systems. Various means of egress were reviewed along with features ...

Abstract: An experimental test program was performed on grouted post-tensioned anchor rods to determine if anchors with high rod-to-duct area ratios could reanchor themselves upon fracture. Liftoff testing of the grouted anchors was ...

Abstract: This study proposes a conceptual methodology to determine the axial load within a grouted post-tension anchor system via finite element analysis and calibration. The concept was built on the premise that a plate under axial ...
