2 SOIL ANCHORAGE

 Supports earth retaining structures, anchored sheet pile

walls

 Supported on horizontal or inclined anchors

 Placed at suitable intervals

 Embedded in the soil mass behind

3

 Advantages

o It increases wall stability and enables taller

walls to be built and sustained

o reduce the excessive deflections

o Eliminates complex bracing systems

o Excavation free from obstructions

o More space available

4 Horizontal / inclined Vertical anchors
anchors

 Used in deep  Used in dams to

excavations prevent overturning
 Embedded in soil fills  Embedded in rock –
or ground soils Rock anchors
5 Rock anchors
 Also used in foundations of tall structures

 Chimneys, transmission line towers, etc.

6 ANCHOR
 A tie rod or a steel bar or a cable having have tensile
strength

 Surrounded by cement grout or some other fixing agent

 Transmits the tensile force from main structure to the

surrounding soil

 Shear strength of soil resist tensile force

7 Anchor length
8
Total anchor length
 Fixed length

• The bottom or lower length of the anchor over which the

tensile force is transmitted to the surrounding ground.

• Surrounded by thin grout – Primary grouting

 Free length

• The top or upper portion over which no tension force is

transmitted to the surrounding ground.

• Achieved by placing frictionless sleeves

• Surrounding grout – Secondary grouting
