Testing for deadman anchors
Testing for deadman anchors
(OP)
Does anyone know of an online reference which deals with the tests required in Canada for deadman anchors.
I know that pull out tests, performance tests, proof tests and creep tests are conducted on tie back anchors but are these required /applicable for deadman anchors also.

RE: Testing for deadman anchors
In my experience with numerous deadman anchors across Canada, not one required a pull-out test.
