• Anchor is a prestressed element that is implemented in the soil and transmits a specific tensile force through strands or steel rebar in its bond area to the soil mass and outside the sliding wedge. The difference between using an anchor and nailing in the soil is that in the anchor before any mass movement, there is a large prestressing force that reduces the deformation, but in nailing, a large prestressing force is not applied to the Nile element and the movement of the soil mass causes force in the wall. becomes;
Therefore, in cases where deformation control is very important, it is recommended to use anchors for stabilization. Anchors are generally used to stabilize slopes, control landslides and prevent further landslides. They also have other applications such as dealing with the uplift of submerged structures.
