Reinforcement block construction process and piles prolongation for dynamic pile tests, metallic mold and reinforcement block

Abstract

A reinforcement block construction process and piles prolongation for dynamic pile tests, metallic mold and reinforcement block, which refers to a reinforcement block construction process and piles prolongation for performing dynamic pile tests, implemented by the use of a laminar metallic structure appropriately constructed, in which are provided holes for inserting the anchor bolts, and later on the electronic sensors is provided.

1 . A reinforcement block construction process and piles prolongation for dynamic pile tests, comprising the following steps:
 i) providing two bodies and positioning a metal frame inside of the two bodies;   ii) setting up a shape of the reinforcement block by joining the two bodies to each other and fixing a resulting metallic mold to the ground, keeping its alignment with the use of rods, already with a metal frame disposed internally inside the metal frame;   iii) pre-fixing anchor bolts in holes located in each of the two bodies;   iv) wherein the inside of the resulting metal frame is filled with concrete;   v) waiting for the adequate cure of the concrete so that it reaches a defined resistance, so that the block can withstand the tensions imposed by the hammer strokes and has the ability to transmit these tensions to a top of the pile without damaging it;   vi) unmolding of the metallic mold, separating the two bodies; and   vii) anchoring sensors to the anchor bolts.   
     
     
         2 . A metallic mold, comprising a tubular and laminar metallic mold, which comprises two bodies of half-round formats and of an appropriate thickness. 
     
     
         3 . The metallic mold according to  claim 2 , wherein said bodies comprise, at their distal ends, two tangential prolongations appropriately distributed along said edges, each of the prolongations provided with a through hole. 
     
     
         4 . The metallic mold according to  claim 2 , wherein said bodies are further provided with external longitudinal structural reinforcements. 
     
     
         5 . The metallic mold according to  claim 2 , wherein each of the two bodies comprise at least one of three or six holes appropriately located and dimensioned, for the insertion of the anchor bolts, and later on for the attachment of the electronic sensors. 
     
     
         6 . A reinforcement block obtained by the process according to  claim 1 , wherein comprising a steel frame, a concrete mass which involves the steel frame, and at least one of three or six fixing elements for the sensors, attached to the anchor bolts.
