CHAPTER 2 Part 3

The document discusses different types of ground anchoring techniques used in construction projects involving excavations. It describes rock anchors, which involve inserting a prestressing bar into a predrilled hole with expanding sleeves to grip the inside of the borehole. It also describes injection anchors, which involve boring a hole and injecting grout over the fixed length, and filling the unbonded length with grout after stressing. Straight shaft, multi-under-reamed, and gravel placement anchors are specifically discussed.

CHAPTER 2
PRELIMINARY WORKS
2.3 REMEDIES (CONT’D)
 Ground Anchoring
• Is a prestressing tendon embedded & anchored
into the soil to provide resistance to structural
movement of a member by acting on a “tying
back” principle
• Anchoring retaining walls & diaphragm walls
• Particularly in the context of deep excavations
• Provides a working area entirely free of
timbering members
• Rock anchors and injection ground anchor
2.3 REMEDIES (CONT’D)
 Ground Anchoring – Rock Anchors
• By inserting a prestressing bar into a predrilled
hole
• The leading end of the bar has expanding
sleeves
• Which grip the inside of the bored hole
• When the bar is rotated to a recommended
torque to obtain the desired grip
• Anchor bar usually grouted over the fixed or
anchorage length BEFORE stressed and
anchored at the external face
• The unbonded / elastic length filled with grout
2.3 REMEDIES (CONT’D)
 Ground Anchoring – Injection Anchors
• A hole is bored into the soil by using flight auger
• Casing or linings can be used if the borehole would not
remain open
• A dense high strength grout is required over the fixed
length
• The unbonded or elastic length is filled with grout
AFTER completion of the stressing operation
• Straight shaft anchor / Multi-under-reamed anchor /
Gravel placement anchor
2.3 REMEDIES (CONT’D)
 Straight Shaft Anchors
• The prestressing tendon OR bar is placed into the
borehole and pressure grouted over the anchorage
length
• For protection purposes, the unbonded OR elastic
length can be grouted under gravity for permanent
ground anchors OR covered with an expanded
polypropylene sheath for temporary anchors
2.3 REMEDIES (CONT’D)
 Multi-under-reamed Anchors
• Is usually used for anchor boreholes in clay
soil to increase the bond, using special
expanding cutter or brush tools
2.3 REMEDIES (CONT’D)

 Gravel Placement Anchors


• Irregular gravels are injected into the borehole over
anchorage length
• A small casing is driven into the gravel plug to
force the aggregate to penetrate the soil around the
borehole
• The stressing tendon is inserted into the casing and
pressure grouted over the anchorage length as the
casing is removed
