A research on the tensile resistance of wired rope anchor

This research is an attempt to propose a new method of stabilizing soil using wired anchor as tension reinforcement embedded in soil mass. The proposal is supported by experiments involving the pulling of wire ropes placed in sand. Resistance against pull was measured experimentally using ropes and rods separately. Currently steel rods are usually being used for this purpose. However, during this research, comparative experiments using the conventional steel rods and wire rope were conducted. It was found that wired ropes were more effective than their conventional counterparts. For the covering abstract see ITRD E125786.
