Ground Anchor Design

The document summarizes calculations to design an anchor system including: 1) Calculating the required number of strands and load per strand based on the anchor force and strength of individual anchors. 2) Determining the minimum bond lengths for the grout/tendon and grout/ground interfaces. 3) Calculating the minimum free length of anchors based on excavation depth, anchor depth and inclination angle. 4) Sizing the whaler beam to support the anchor forces, with the selected section meeting the minimum required plastic modulus.
