Anchors shall be installed to sustain the earth pressure and to reduce the deflection of the wall.
Due to this, anchors shall be installed, as indicated in figure.

1. DRILLING OF ANCHOR HOLES


 Drill rig will be placed with the drilling rod at an inclination from the horizontal as specified in
the design drawings.
 Drill an extra length of 200mm below the bond length to leave a space for the deposition of
cuttings that cannot be flushed out of the drill hole.
 For keeping the side stable, either temporary casing is provided or bentonite mud circulation
is used. In case of inclined bores use of casing tube shall be obligatory.
 Do not deviate from the specified alignment by more than 150 mm in any 3m length of drill
hole.
 Flush Drill holes clean on completion of drilling. Protect or seal the borehole's opening to
prevent the entry of foreign matter.

2. WATER TESTING
 Water test every drill hole to determine the likelihood of grout loss.
 Fill the drill hole with water to provide the required net test pressure.
 Alternatively, undertake the test using a drill hole packer to seal off the section under test.
Place the packer 500 mm below the entrance to the hole.
 Apply a water pressure at the nearest end of the bond length equal to one tenth of an
atmosphere (10 kPa). Carry out waterproof grouting (as per IS 6066-1971) if the water loss in
this period exceeds the volume of 200 mm length of borehole.
 Take one sample for each fresh waterproof grout batch. Take the samples less than one hour
after the grout was mixed.
 Divide each sample of grout into three specimens. Test each specimen to determine the
amount of bleeding. Prepare three grout cubes for cube strength determination from each
sample. Attain a grout cube strength of at least 40 MPa at 28 days.
 Flush or drill out the borehole after waterproofing grouting. Re-apply the water test

3. INSERTION OF STRAND ANCHOR


 Suitable guide system & temporary fixing of the anchor is required to avoid movement of
anchor during grouting.
 Suitable spacers are also provided when required to ensure the anchor assembly does not
get entangled.

4. GROUTING
 Grout from the bottom of the hole. Grout at a slow, steady rate. Continue grouting until
emerging grout has the same composition and consistency as the mixed grout.
 After the anchor is lowered, the fixed length of the anchor is grouted. Grouting is carried out
under pressure by fixing a packer at the top of the fixed length or as necessary in accordance
with the type of anchor.
 Normally thickest possible grouting is adopted for primary grouting (0.5 water cement ratio) is
adopted for primary grouting.
 Adequate care is required so that the free length of the anchor remains free to elongate.
 Continually monitor grout volumes during injection.

5. STRESSING
 Stressing is carried out after 21days of grouting by when, it attains the required strength.
Depending on the different types of anchors used, details of the stressing jack vary.
 The anchor is stressed for about 10percent of the load and elongation measurement taken
beyond this range. This take care of any seating errors. Anchor is subsequently stress to
10percent excess load over the design and elongation noted.
 After noting the elongation, the anchor is locked either to design load or part of the design
load depending on the requirements.

6. LOAD TEST
 The dial gauge should be in proper working order and should have appropriate travel length.
 Obtain calibration curves for each jack and pressure gauge set, and for each load cell.
 The jack or pump should have a bleed-off valve.
 The load cell and jack should be aligned concentrically with one another.
 The dial gauge should be aligned with the axis line of the anchor.
 The load in the anchor should not drop below the alignment load.
 For a bar tendon, be sure the spherical nut inside the jack chair does not come into contact with
the jack.
 When strand tendons are used, watch the wedges to ensure that the strands are uniformly
loaded.
 During a creep test, the load should be held constant. The load must be held within 25 psi (175
kPa) if a jack pressure gauge is used or within 200 lbs (900 N) if a load cell is used.
 Do not allow the top row of anchors to be stressed until the backfill material has been placed
and compacted above the anchor behind the structure.
 Record all reading and other pertinent information during testing.
