Ground Anchorages and Anchored Structures in Service 2007

By G. S. Littlejohn

Millions of ground anchorages have been installed over the past 80 years with relatively few recorded failures. However, as permanent anchorages in service become older, the subject is of growing importance; particularly for anchorages installed over 30 years ago: many of which were designed with corrosion protection considered inadequate by today's standards This book shows how routine inspection and monitoring can extend the service life of the anchored structures that represent key elements of a country's infrastructure.
