Grouting mortar test before using

Grouting mortar should be test before using at site. The test method are following
1. Fluidity test
2. Expansion or bleeding
3. Compressive test with 5x5x5cm samples by 3 samples at 7 days and 3 samples at 28 days
For item 1 and 2 can be adjust proportion until test results are pass. For compressive test
will be test by age of mortar.
Grouting mortar test while using

While grouting on site, we should test by this following
 Check fluidity every 3 hour
 Check expansion or bleeding 2 times/day
17
WORKING PROCEDURES
Grouting procedure
After grouting mortar is pass for all test, we can start grouting while the temperature not exceed 30
degree celcius.
Grouting method
 Inject mortar to sheath at grout vent
 Control pump pressure by pressure guage
 When mortar run out of grout vent at other side let it flow out for clear bubble and disguise
 Fold grout vent and tighten remain pressure 7 bar for beam and 3 bar for slab until pressure value is
constant.

STRESSING CONCEPT AND ELONGATION MEASUREMENT
80
STRESSING CONCEPT
 Stressing Sequence
 Elongation measurement and Anchorage Slip
Stressing Sequence
 Step 1 Stressing strand 50% of group of tendon in band direction except extra tendon, extra
tendon around opening or lift core (Stressing in step 3)
 Step 2 Stressing all strand in uniform direction by start with tendon near column to mid span
tendon.
 STEP 3 Stressing remained strand in band direction Band and extra tendon, extra tendon
around opening or lift core.
REMARK
In case of irregular plan stressing sequence will be change by structural engineer.
Animation : Stressing Sequence
81
Elongation measurement and Anchorage Slip

1. Start hydraulic pump for stressing strand until pressure reach 37.9% of fpu and stop to set
zero elongation point.
2. Start hydraulic pump again for stressing strand until pressure reach 75.8% of fpu and stop to
measure elongation (OA). The total elongation are two time of OA
3. Compare total elongation with theoretical elongation
3.1 If total elongation within ±5% of theoretical elongation then go to next step
3.2 If total elongation greater than theoretical elongation over 5% find out the cause of error
and report to inspector
3.3 If total elongation less than theoretical elongation over 5% then start hydraulic pump for
stressing again until pressure reach 80% of fpu measure the total elongation(OB). The final
total elongation equal to OA+OB and compare with theoretical elongation. If final
elongation still less than theoretical over 5% then report to engineer for re-calculate force
of this strand.
4. Push wedge to anchorage by hydraulic jack and calculate anchorage slip
Anchorage slip = X-Y-3mm.(not exceed 3mm in each side)
X= The final elongation
Y= The final elongation after pushing wedge
3mm = The elongation of strand measure from face of anchorage to jack wedge in
hydraulic jack

Jacking Force – Tendon Extension Curve
Elongation at 37.9%
Elongation at 75.8%
Note
1. OA=OA’
2. Sag is the displacement between strand sag to tight exactly.
3. Elongation measurement compare with theoretical elongation for confirmation that
strand force equal to calculation and for checking something wrong in each strand
