Anchors archive

The anchors are necessary works to supplement the resources of geotechnical and structural strength of the bulkhead. The software allows the management of an anchors archive. A schematic representation, but significant for the quantities characterizing a tie rod anchor is shown in the following figure:

In the image above are presented the following symbols:

Besides, the zones where the anchor is fastened to the bulkhead (on the upper left side) and the zones where the anchor is fastened to the ground can be recognized as well. Taking into account the previous figure, the environment which allows managing the anchors archive is the following:

As it can be observed, the data to be entered in order to correctly characterize an anchor are the following:

NB: for geotechnical and structural checks on the anchor, please refer to Theoretical notes (Anchors limit load).
