System and method for structural stabilization with high-density polymer foam noncorrosive anchors and piers

Abstract

In one or more arrangements a system and method are presented for transfer of tensile and compressive forces in stabilization of retaining walls, foundations, elevated decks, and/or other structures. The anchors support the weight 4′-14′ below the original bearing point. It minimizes the surcharge loads created by the weight of the wall and thus allows them to be spaced closer to one another. The system utilizes a non-corrosive hollow tie-back anchor and a high-density polymer foam injection technique. The system includes a hollow non-corrosive rod, which is used as a tie back anchor by driving the rod into the earth and injecting high-density polymer foam therethrough to form an anchor. A major part of the application is its adaptability to be used in difficult to access areas.
