Evaluation of Anchor Wall Systems' Landmark Reinforced Soil Wall System
With T.C. Mirafi's Miragrid & Miratex Geogrid Reinforcement ?Final Report
This report describes a HITEC evaluation designed to determine the basic capability and limitations of the Landmark/Mirafi System for use as a technically viable precast MSE retaining...
The Penstock Puzzle
After 40 years of chronic slope movements and several engineering studies, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District in California signed a design-build contract to stabilize the 1,500...
Weighing Anchors
Modern anchorage systems offer design engineers and contractors unprecedented choice in load transfer mechanisms. Some anchors are highly specialized, while others are appropriate for...

Guy Anchors and Foundations
This section describes typical types of guy anchors that are commonly used today. It is not the intention of this guide to provide direction for the design of the anchor or foundation...
Creeping Suspicion
High-capacity, epoxy-coated anchors were installed at Upper Occoquan Dam to increase the stability of the 70-foot-high concrete gravity dam and powerhouse under revised Probable Maximum...
Anchoring a Landfill Expansion
Design of a grading plan for a landfill expansion in Los Angeles County was complicated by slopes with adverse bedding planes, permitting stipulations and property setbacks. Flattening...

Anchorage of Non-Metallic Prestressing Tendons
Experimental confirmation tests were conducted to evaluate mechanical and epoxy socketed anchors for fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) prestressing tendons. The studies found that a parabolically...
Floor to Wall Anchors in Historic Brick Buildings
The poster presentation at the Structures' Congress details a retrofit analysis performed on the Gilroy Historic Commercial Building, which was instrumented during the Loma Prieta Earthquake....
Seismic Strengthening of Johnstown Tank in Lakeside, California
Seismic overturning moments exerted on liquid storage tanks may be resisted by a system of anchor bolts if the shell could be adequately anchored to its base, or by allowing the base plate...
Testing and Evaluation of High Capacity, Multi-Strand Rock Anchors for Lake Lynn Dam
Seventy five rock anchors with design loads of 556 to 2040 kips were required for the 1000-foot long, 125-foot high, concrete gravity, Lake Lynn Dam to comply with current FERC engineering...
Design of Tunnel Lining from Shotcrete in Combination with Anchors
The method of designing tunnel linings from shotcrete in combination with anchors is given in the paper. The method is based upon the solution of the plane contact problem for a double-layer...
Outpost Service and Construction Robot (OSCR)
The Outpost Service and Construction Robot (OSCR) is proposed as the prime mover of a comprehensive, synergistic approach to extraterrestrial surface construction, mining and transportation...
Pre-Compression of Concrete Breasting Dolphins Solves Construction Problem
A roll-on/roll-off ferry terminal was built in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1989 as part of a marine transportation system to support construction of the sewage treatment facilities proposed...
Glass-Fiber Reinforcing Rod: Characterization and Application to Concrete Structures and Grouted Anchors
This paper presents the physical and mechanical characteristics of a new glass-fiber reinforcing rod which was developed to be used as a rebar for concrete structures or a tendon for grouted...
Anchoring?A New Generation
During the time period of NRC Bulletin 79-02, and certainly afterwards, the use and application of wedge type anchors in Nuclear Power Plants took on a new perspective. The data gathered...
Use of a Tie-Back Retaining Wall to Stabilize a Moving Landslide
After failure of a gravity retaining wall, a moving landslide was stopped and stabilized by a tie-back retaining wall. The design considered the active landslide and residual strength...
Anchor Damage on the Coral Reef of Sombrero Island, Batangas, Philippines
A total of fifty six anchor drops and retrieval were observed in the coral reef of Sombrero Island, Batangas Philippines. The study showed that a total of 15.4164 square meters of corals...
Anchors in the Desert
The Southwest desert isn't usually thought of as a hotbed of seismic activity, but earthquakes have occurred there. And if Arizona's Stewart Mountain Dam, a double-curvature...
