Ground Anchors

This document discusses ground anchors used for retaining walls. It provides benefits of ground anchors over gravity retaining walls such as unobstructed workspace and reduced wall size. It also describes different types of ground anchors used for various soil conditions. Components include tendon material like strands and bars. Anchored walls can be soldier beam with timber lagging or concrete panels, or sheet pile or secant pile walls. Design considers failure modes, earth pressures, spacing, load calculations, and bending moments on walls. Soldier beams are designed for axial capacity.

Benefits over Gravity Retaining Walls

• Unobstructed workspace for excavations


• Reduced wall cross section
• No need for temporary excavation support
• No select backfill is needed
• No deep foundation is needed
• Reduced right-of-way (ROW) acquisition.
