    The tieback-deadman structure resists forces that would otherwise cause the wall to lean, as for example, when a seawall is pushed seaward by water trapped on the landward side after a heavy rain. Tiebacks are drilled into soil using a small diameter shaft, and usually installed at an angle of 15 to 45 degrees.

  5. Anchor losses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_losses

    Thus, the vibration energy is retained in the resonator body, reducing the anchor losses into the substrate. [17] Besides the phonon crystal tether, some other kinds of metamaterial could be applied to the anchor and surrounding regions to prohibit the wave transmission. [18] A key drawback of this method is the challenge to the fabrication ...
