Not Used
46-1.01C Submittals 46-1.01C(1) General
Submit a certified calibration chart for each jack and its gauge as an informational submittal.
46-1.01C(2) Shop Drawings 46-1.01C(2)(a) General
Submit 5 copies of shop drawings to OSD, Documents Unit. Notify the Engineer of the submittal. Include in the notification the date and contents of the submittal. Allow 30 days for the Department's review. After review, submit from 6 to 12 copies, as requested, for authorization and use during construction.
Shop drawings and calculations must be sealed and signed by an engineer who is registered as a civil engineer in the State.
Shop drawings for ground anchors and soil nails must include:
1. Your name, address, and telephone and fax numbers.
2. Construction schedule and sequence of installing and grouting.
3. Encapsulation details.
4. Repair procedure for damaged sheathing.
5. Drilling methods and equipment, including:
5.1. Drilled hole diameter.
5.2. Equipment space requirements.
6. Grout mix design and testing procedures.
7. Grout placement equipment and procedures, including minimum required cure time.
8. Details for providing the bonded and unbonded length. If packers or other similar devices are to be used, include the type.
9. Testing equipment, including:
9.1. Jacking frame and appurtenant bracing.
9.2. Method and equipment for measuring movement during testing.
Ground anchor shop drawings must include the following additional information:
1. Details and specifications for the anchorage system and ground anchors.
2. Details for the transition between the corrugated plastic sheathing and the anchorage assembly.
3. If shims are used during lock-off, shim thickness and supporting calculations.
4. Calculations for determining the bonded length. Do not rely on any capacity from the grout-to-ground bond within the unbonded length.

10. Grout quantity and pressure used within the bonded length
11. Anchor end or nail head movement at each load increment or at each time increment during the load hold period
Submit the test data when ground anchor or soil nail testing is complete or when requested.
46-1.01D Quality Assurance 46-1.01D(1) General
Not Used
46-1.01D(2) Quality Control 46-1.01D(2)(a) General
Stability testing and wall zones must comply with section 19-3.
46-1.01D(2)(b) Load Testing 46-1.01D(2)(b)(i) General
The jacking equipment and the movement measuring system must be stable during all phases of loading.
Do not unload or reposition the test equipment during load testing.
46-1.01D(2)(b)(ii) Jacking Equipment and Calibration
Apply the test loads using a hydraulic jack supported by a reaction frame that can support the test equipment without excessive deformation.
Use a calibrated pressure gauge or a load cell to determine the magnitude of applied test loads.
The pressure gauge must have an accurately reading, clearly visible dial or display. Dial gauges must be graduated in 100 psi increments or less.
Each jack and its gauge must be calibrated as a unit under the specifications for jacks used to tension prestressing steel permanently anchored at 25 percent or more of its specified minimum ultimate tensile strength in section 50-1.01D(2)(b).
The load cell must be calibrated and have an indicator capable of measuring the maximum test load. The load cell range must be such that the lower 10 percent of the manufacturer's rated capacity is not used in determining the jacking force.
46-1.01D(2)(b)(iii) Measuring Movements
The equipment for measuring the movement at the anchor end or nail head must be accurate to 0.001 inch and have enough capacity to complete the test without being reset.
46-1.01D(2)(b)(iv) Procedure
At each load increment, including the ending alignment load, measure the movement at the anchor end or nail head relative to an independent, fixed reference point. Record the movements to the nearest 0.001 inch.
Maintain each test load within 5 percent of the specified load throughout each hold period.
The Department may verify the test loads using the Department's load cells. If requested, install and support the Department's testing equipment during testing and remove the equipment after testing is complete.
