Method and apparatus for consolidating earth and anchor setting device

Details

Inventors: Collins, James S.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Friedman; Carl D.
Assistant Examiner: Wilkens; Kevin D.
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Webb Ziesenheim Bruening

An apparatus for consolidating earth and anchor setting device. The apparatus includes a vertical support, a plurality of spaced media consolidation plates swingably mounted to the vertical support, a rib disposed along a lower edge of respective ones of the consolidation plates and a bearing plate secured to the vertical support. The apparatus can be used to install a bearing and moment foundation having an upper surface, a lower surface and a converging side surface. The upper surface is adapted to receive a pushing force for pushing the foundation into the soil and the side surface adapted to contact the soil when a pushing force is applied to the upper surface. The anchoring device can also be used to install a pier foundation having a plug, an installation load bearing member, an installed load bearing member and a cap. A grillage assembly can be used to install the foundation and includes at least a pair of intermediate members forming a grillage, at least one anchor securing the grillage to the soil and a plate member secured to the grillage intermediate members and positioned above the soil surface to assist in at least one of installing a foundation, removing an anchor, testing the strength of an anchor and testing the strength of a foundation. Also disclosed are methods of installing an anchor and a foundation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION My invention is a bearing and moment foundation for use in soil having an upper surface, a lower surface and a converging side surface.
The upper surface is adapted to receive a pushing force for pushing the foundation into the soil.
The side surface is adapted to contact the soil when a pushing force is applied to the upper surface.
The converging side surface converges from the upper surface to the lower surface and defines at least one cutting edge.
The cutting edge is a tip defined by the side surface.
The bearing and moment foundation can be installed with an anchoring and foundation apparatus adapted to be installed in an earthen hole having a vertical support, a plurality of spaced media consolidation plates swingably mounted about respective pivot points on the vertical support.
Each of the plates has a media facing surface having an upper edge and a lower edge.
The upper edge is positioned relatively closer to the vertical support than the lower edge.
A rib is disposed along the lower edge of each of the consolidation plates.
A bearing plate is secured to the vertical support and adapted to rest on a soil surface, whereby the bearing plate is forced into the soil and in turn compacts and consolidates the soil when the consolidation plates are forced outwardly into the soil to compact and consolidate the soil adjacent thereto.
The anchoring and foundation apparatus can be used to install a pier foundation having a plug, an installation load bearing member, an installed load bearing member and a cap.
The plug extends along a first longitudinal axis and includes a first section and a second section.
The first section is adapted to receive a pushing force and the second section is adapted to rest on the soil.
The installation load bearing member extends along the first longitudinal axis and includes a first end and a second end.
The first end of the installation load bearing member is received by the first section of the plug.
The installed load bearing member extends along a second longitudinal axis and includes a first end and a second end
