What is The Valved-tremie Applied to Subaqueous Concrete Structures about?
This paper traces recent developments in types of tremie pipe used when depositing concrete in water and the method of operating them. It relates specifically to research with valves to eliminate the hazards of the old open tremie pipe and describes one which literally makes an elongated pneumatic caisson of the tremie. This was used extensively and with marked success for placing over 300,000 cu. yd. of concrete. The paper also covers the routine of maneuvering such a tremie and is supplemented with numerous illustrative plates, photos and a table showing the sequence, size and location of monoliths poured by this method. It also gives the results of tested cylinders drilled out of the finished work. The research was by the author and his staff assistants, and the work was executed under his personal direction.
