1) Drilled pilot hole required for efficient installation. 4) Holding capacity limited by soil structure.
2) Ease of installation may be improved by drilling a pilot hole. 5) Not recommended in these soils.
3) Holding capacity limited by ultimate strength of anchors. 6) Wide variation in soil properties reduces prediction accuracy. Pre-
construction field test is recommended.
Predicted ultimate holding capacities are based on the results of extensive testing and are offered as an application guide only. Users must factor in
their individual, appropriate safety factors.
The ultimate anchor assembly strength is tendon dependent.
