Abstract: A seawall barrier comprising a relatively massive elongate wire cable reinforced concrete structure with a shank and diverging feet that has reinforcing cables embedded in the structure barrier and being threaded through a reinforcing member at the feet portion of the structure.
Abstract: A method of making a prestressed concrete pole, including placing a heat softenable plastic pipe in a metal tube or pipe and filling the space between the pipes with concrete, rotating the metal pipe-concrete assembly rapidly to center the plastic pipe therein, applying hot fluid pressure to the interior of the plastic pipe, longitudinally prestressing the concrete pipe assembly for several hours while the concrete sets, and gradually releasing the fluid pressure and prestressing pressure to obtain a prestressed concrete pole.
Abstract: The invention relates to a precast monument base which is made from precast concrete, and is capable of being installed during any kind of weather conditions. The idea basically involves the utilization of a resilient layer between the base and the base cap to allow proper leveling, and to prevent the entrance of moisture to create problems under freezing conditions. The base extends below the frost line, and hence is not effected by freezing of the ground or excessive amounts of water or moisture.
