Ground anchors

Guy line loading (assume ground anchor pattern consistent with manufacturer s guying diagram shown on the nameplate). 

Soil nailing is similar to ground anchors or tiebacks in that a steel rod is grouted into a pre-drilled hole. There are, however, several important differences. Nails are considerably smaller and shorter than anchors, and while anchors are pre-stressed after placement, nails are not (with few exceptions in which a very small pre-stress is applied), and do not pick up load until the soil mass deforms. Nails, like anchors, add shear resistance to the soil mass. 

Soil nails are similar to ground anchors, but on a much smaller scale, and they are not pretensioned. Nails are installed on a grid from the top down, as a slope results from excavation. Reinforced fill is a method of supporting a slope as it is being constructed, from the bottom up. Geotextile sheets are applied over the entire fill on layers several feet apart. Like nails, the sheets add shear resistance to the soil mass.

The structural masonry member confinement should be carried out with the help of fabrics, sheets, and bars (otherwise called ground anchors) of composite material. Fabrics are applied on the contour as external continuous wrapping or discontinuous wrapping the bars are arranged inside the column, in order to realize suitably widespread reinforced stitches. 

Micropiles that are essentially an outgrowth of the technology used in the construction of ground anchors are passive systems. Applications of micropiles for slope stabilization are schematically illustrated in Figure 11.25 Case 1 micropiles are directly loaded and resist the loads applied by the slide...

The system provides an opportunity to test our method for finding the conical intersection and the stabilized ground-state structures that are formed by the distortion. Recall that we focus on the distinction between spin-paired structures, rather than true minima. A natural choice for anchors are the two C2v stmctures having A2 and B, symmetry shown in Figures 21 and 22 In principle, each set can serve as the anchors. The reaction converting one type-I structirre to another is phase inverting, since it transforms one allyl structure to another (Fig. 12). 

Good foundations assure stability of the equipment. Tlie foundaUon should extend below the soil frost line to eliminate setUing of equipment. Major loads and equipment producing vibrations (e.g., pmiips) should not be placed on filled ground. High towers and major vessels should have properly installed anchor bolts. 

The derrick or mast must also be designed to withstand wind loads. Wind loads are imposed by the wind acting on the outer and inner surfaces of the open structure. When designing for wind loads, the designer must consider that the drill pipe or other tubulars may be out of the hole and stacked in the structure. This means that there will be loads imposed on the structure by the pipe weight (i.e., setback load) in addition to the additional loads imposed by the wind. The horizontal forces due to wind are counteracted by the lattice structure that is firmly secured to the structure s foundation. Additional support to the structure can be accomplished by the guy lines attached to the structure and to a dead man anchor some distance away from it. The dead man anchor is buried in the ground to firmly support the tension loads in the guy line. The guy lines are pretensioned when attached to the dead man anchor. 

Deadline tiedowns The deadline is the nonmoving end of the wire rope from the hoisting down through the crown and traveling blocks. This end is anchored at ground level with a tiedown.
