1.0 Strand Capacity

Dia. of Tendon Strand = 13.35 mm

Anchor Force Per meter, T = 220 kN/m

Spacing Between Anchors, l = 3m

Anchor Force, T = 660 kN

Factor of Safety for Tendon = 1.6

Specified Characteristics Strength of Anchor = 232 kN

Required No. of Strands = 5 No.

Actual No. of Strands = 5 No.

Load Per Strand = 132 kN/strand

2.0 Fixed Length Calculations

Grout/Tendon Interface

Ultimate Bond Stress for Clean Strands, sigma = 2 N/mm2

Factor of Safety of Grout/Tendon Interface = 2.5

Diameters of 5 No. Strands, d = 66.75 mm

Minimum Bond Length of Anchor, lb

Minimum Bond Length of Anchor 3.93 m

Grout/Ground Interface

Ultimate Bond Stress, Sigma sandy silt = 0.4 N/mm2

Factor of Safety of Grout/Ground Interface = 2.5

Diameter of Borehole = 120 mm

Minimum Bond Length of Anchor = 10.94 m

Maxiumum of (1) & (2) = 10.94 m

Adopted Bond Length of Anchor, lb = 11 m
