Types of Ground Anchors 

 Straight shaft gravity-grouted anchors 


This type anchors mostly suitable in rock strata and very stiff to hard cohesive soil
deposits using either rotary drilling or hollow-stem auger methods. Tremie (gravity
displacement) methods are used for grouting the anchor in a straight shaft borehole.
 Straight shaft pressure-grouted anchors
This type of anchor is most suitable for weak rock strata and coarse granular soils. This
anchor type is also used in fine-grained cohesionless soils. In that grout is injected into
the bond zone under pressures greater than 0.35 MPa. 
 Post-grouted anchors 
Post-grouted anchors use delayed multiple grout injections to enlarge the grout body of
straight shafted gravity grouted anchors. 
 Under reamed anchors 
Under reamed anchors consist of tremie grouted boreholes that include a series of
enlargement underarms. This type of anchor may be used in a firm to hard cohesive
deposits
