TUGround anchors in geotechnical engineering are structural elements installed in soil or rock to provide stability and resist forces such as uplift, lateral loads, or overturning. They are commonly used to support retaining walls, slopes, deep excavations and foundations where additional resistance is required beyond the natural capacity of the ground. Anchors work by transferring load from the structure into a competent soil or rock layer through bonded sections, typically using grouted steel tendons or bars. There are different types of ground anchors, such as driven, drilled and grouted, tensioned (active) or untensioned (passive), and the selection of a suitable system depends on geotechnical considerations including ground conditions, load requirements, groundwater levels and the nature of the supported structure. This ensures that the anchor system provides both safety and long term performance in line with the site specific conditions.
