Passive Ground Anchors
Passive Ground Anchors
(OP)
We have some footings founded on rock that need to be anchored to the ground to prevent overturning. We'd like to core into the rock, clean the hole, and use a grouted rebar to engage the rock mass. All the literature I have seen suggests that post-tensioned anchors are typically used. Is this required or could a non-post-tensioned anchorage such as I've suggested be used? Is there any literature out there on this subject? The only time the anchors will see tension is when there's a design wind or earthquake load.
