A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The present device (10) for charging concrete (25) in tremie pipe (23) comprises a shank (1), ribs (2) hingedly connected to the shank (1), the ribs (2) extending radially from the shank (1). A canopy (6) is attached to the ribs (2). The angular range of motion (P) of the ribs (2) about their connection to the shank (1) in respect of the longitudinal extension of the shank (1) is greater than 120°, preferably greater than 150°. The device (10) is designed for the first charging of tremie pipe (23) with concrete. The device (10) is robust to survive the harsh site conditions and is flexible to be adapted to different tremie pipe diameter and pile length. The device enables controlled descending of concrete to initiate pouring. By controlled descending speed of concrete the mixing of concrete with supporting fluid and the segregation of concrete are avoided.
