An anchor is a tension support, which limits movement from subsequent excavation by providing a pre-loaded condition to the supported ground. Tensile load is transmitted by a steel tendon made of individual strands or bars. The tendon is bonded to competent rock or soil by cement grout.
- Applications for Anchors
• retaining walls
• temporary excavation support (replace struts or rakers for improved working space)
• landslide control
• rock cuts
• dam stabilization
- Advances of Anchors
• Using comprehensive corrosion protection systems, rock and soil anchors achieve reliability, longevity, and economy.
• In both temporary and permanent retaining applications, ground anchor systems have proven to be a viable economic alternativeto conventional retaining walls --especially in instances where excavation is undesirable.
• Stressing tests every anchor to greater than design load
• High capacities in rocks and soils
• Can be permanent if installed with appropriate corrosion protection
• Can be installed at any inclination through all types of overburden and rock
• Compatible with the construction of all types of wall systems including sheet piles, soldier piles and laggings, drilled shafts, soil mixed walls and diaphragm walls.
- Anchor Installation
1.Drill hole
2.Set tendon
3.Grout via Tremie Tube ( may be before tendon)
4.After grout cures; stress, test, and lock-off anchor
