Long-Term Strength of Prestressed Ground Anchors in Creep-Sensitive Soils
Publication: Deep Foundations 2002: An International Perspective on Theory, Design, Construction, and Performance
Abstract
In contrast to other types of anchors, prestressed ground anchors (or tie-backs) are routinely used in clayey or cohesive soils. One of the problems that needs to be considered concerns soil creep (i.e. rheological properties). The load-deformation behavior of ground anchors has received considerable attention in recent years, but relatively little attention has been paid to the time dependency of deformation and pull out force of ground anchors embedded in creep-sensitive soils. Using the results of experimental investigations for ground anchors in clayey soils, a method of analysis is proposed to account for creep of ground anchors in tied-back structures.
