[0056] 2. Explanation of Foundation Prestressing Tensioning

[0057] Tensioning can be performed in groups of two or more (or all at once). The following examples illustrate tensioning in groups of two and tensioning all at once:

[0058] ① Two groups of tensioning

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, components 17 and 28 are first tensioned together using steel strands or other effective tensionable cables or reinforcing bars (thick dashed lines). Figure 4 (Two tensioning ducts are shown, i.e., two dashed lines); then tension the cables or reinforcing bars (thick solid lines) between components 28 and 39. Next, connect the elbow bolts between components 17 and 28, and between components 28 and 39, so that components 17, 28, and 39 can form a whole. In this manner, after all the foundation components are tensioned and connected with elbow bolts, all the components will form a whole.

[0060] ② Full tensioning

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 Central cable or reinforcing bar ( Figure 5Only one tensioning line (a thick solid line) is drawn in the diagram, passing through component 17 and all other components, then passing through component 17 again before tensioning, and then connecting the elbow anchor bolts. Finally, the foundation can form a stable whole.

[0065] 2. After on-site assembly, the components are tensioned in groups using steel strands (2 components per group), with a tension force of 150kN;

[0066] 3. Fill the joint with C40 fine aggregate concrete, and set the torque of the elbow bolts to 200 N·m;

[0067] 4. Complete the waterproof coating application and ensure the backfill soil compaction degree is ≥95%.

[0068] Example 4

[0069] Non-standard angle adaptation

[0070] 1. Design 19 non-standard components with an 18.5° angle according to site requirements; the keyway is circular.

[0071] 2. The full-ring tensioning method is adopted, with a single steel strand running through all components, and the tension force is 180kN;

[0072] 3. Epoxy resin adhesive is used at the joints, eliminating the need for elbow bolts;

[0073] 4. The foundation layer is fixed with anchoring agent to enhance the foundation's resistance to settlement.
