ANCHORED WALL DESIGN

Anchored walls are made up of the same elements as cantilevered walls but are fur­nished with one or more tiers of anchors for additional lateral support. Anchors may be either prestressed or dead-man type. Tendons or bars extend from the wall face to a region beyond the active zone where they are grouted in place or mechanically anchored. Such walls are typically constructed from the top down in cut situations rather than fill conditions. Figure 8.49 illustrates an anchored wall and defines terminology.
