Synopsis
Anchors are primarily used in construction of foundations of earth-supported and earth-retaining structures. Proper theoretical developments for purposes of modern engineering design have taken place only during the past few decades. This book summarizes most of the theoretical and experimental works regarding the ultimate and allowable holding capacity of earth anchors.
