    Ground Anchors and Anchor Systems

    Uploaded by

    Wahid Ardinu
    Ground anchors are structural elements installed in soil or rock that transmit tensile loads. There are four main types: straight shaft gravity-grouted; straight shaft pressure-grouted; post-grouted; and underreamed. Ground anchors are commonly used in anchored walls for excavation support, which include soldier beam and lagging walls and continuous walls made of sheet piles or slurry. The design of anchored walls considers failure modes and determines the bound and unbound lengths of the anchors. Common applications are for highway retaining walls and excavation support.

    Meaning of Ground Anchors
     A prestressed grouted ground anchor is a
    structural element installed in soil or rock
    that is used to transmit an applied tensile
    load into the ground.
     Grouted ground anchors, referenced
    simply as ground anchors, are installed in
    grout filled drill holes.
    Components of Ground Anchor
    Types of Ground Anchors
     Straight shaft gravity-grouted ground
    anchors (Type A);
     Straight shaft pressure-grouted ground
    anchors (Type B);
     Post-grouted ground anchors (Type C);
     The underreamed anchor (Type D)
    Types of Ground Anchors
    Straight Shaft Gravity-Grouted
    Ground Anchors
    Straight shaft gravity-grouted ground anchors are typically
    installed in rock and very stiff to hard cohesive soil
    deposits using either rotary drilling or hollow-stem auger
    methods. Tremie (gravity displacement) methods are used
    to grout the anchor in a straight shaft borehole. The
    borehole may be cased or uncased depending on the
    stability of the borehole. Anchor resistance to pullout of
    the grouted anchor depends on the shear resistance that
    is mobilized at the grout/ground interface.
    Straight Shaft Pressure-Grouted
    Ground Anchors
    Straight shaft pressure-grouted ground anchors are most
    suitable for coarse granular soils and weak fissured rock.
    This anchor type is also used in fine grained cohesionless
    soils. The borehole is typically drilled using a hollow stem
    auger or using rotary techniques with drill casings. As the
    auger or casing is withdrawn, the grout is injected into the
    hole under pressure until the entire anchor bond length is
    grouted. This grouting procedure increases resistance to
    pullout relative to tremie grouting methods by: (1)
    increasing the normal stress (i.e., confining pressure) on
    the grout bulb resulting from compaction of the
    surrounding material locally around the grout bulb; and (2)
    increasing the effective diameter of the grout bulb.
    Post-grouted Ground Anchors
    Post-grouted ground anchors use delayed multiple grout
    injections to enlarge the grout body of straight shafted
    gravity grouted ground anchors. Each injection is
    separated by one or two days. The high pressure grout
    fractures the initial grout and wedges it outward into the
    soil enlarging the grout body.

    Underreamed Anchors
    Underreamed anchors consist of tremie grouted
    boreholes that include a series of enlargement bells or
    underreams.
    Anchored Walls
    A common application of ground anchors
    for highway projects is for the construction
    of anchored walls used to stabilize
    excavations and slopes.
    Types of Anchored Wall System

    Soldier Beam and


    Lagging Wall
    (Most Commonly Used Type)
    Continuous Walls
    Ground anchors are also used in continuous
    wall systems such as sheet-pile walls, tangent
    or secant pile walls, slurry walls, or soil mixed
    walls. Continuous walls are commonly used
    for temporary excavation support systems.
    however, it should be recognized that these
    wall systems may not be feasible for
    construction in hard ground conditions or
    where obstructions exist. Interlocking sheet-
    piles may be either steel or precast concrete,
    however, steel sheet-piles are normally used
    due to availability and higher strength than
    precast concrete sheet-piles.
    Unlike soldier beam and lagging walls,
    continuous walls act as both vertical and
    horizontal wall elements.
    Design
    To be secure against range of potential
    failures.
