2. Anchor (climbing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_(climbing)

   A load-sharing (or load-distributing) anchor is a system consisting of two or more individual anchors which join together at a main anchor point to form an anchoring system. This configuration is a way to introduce redundancy and increase strength, typically for a belay anchor.

3. Screw piles - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_piles

   Modern screw pile design is based on standard structural and geotechnical principles. Screw pile designers typically use their own design software which has been developed through field testing of differing compression pile and tension anchor configurations in various soil profiles. Corrosion is addressed based on extended field trials ...

4. Precast concrete lifting anchor system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precast_concrete_lifting...

   The anchor selection, together with additional reinforcement, and rigging arrangements is influenced by: - The dead weight of the element - The number of anchors in the element and the configuration of the anchor - Capacity of the anchor at the specific concrete compressive strengths at time of lift - The dynamic loads applied during lifting ...

5. Offshore embedded anchors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_embedded_anchors

   A deep-penetrating anchor (DPA) is conceptually similar to a torpedo anchor: it features a dart-shaped, thick-walled, steel cylinder with flukes attached to the upper section of the anchor. A full-scale DPA is approximately 15 metres (49 ft) in length, 1.2 metres (4 ft) in diameter, and weighs on the order of 50–100 tonnes (49–98 long tons ...

6. Earth anchor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_anchor

   Single helix earth anchors Guyed mast anchor. An earth anchor is a device designed to support structures, most commonly used in geotechnical and construction applications. Also known as a ground anchor, percussion driven earth anchor or mechanical anchor, it may be impact driven into the ground or run in spirally, depending on its design and intended force-resistance characteristics.

8. Self-anchored suspension bridge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-anchored_suspension...

   The load path of the self-anchored suspension (SAS) bridge converts vertical loads into tension forces in the main cables which are countered by compressive forces in the towers and deck. The system balances forces internally without external anchorage requirements, making it suitable for sites where large horizontal forces are difficult to anchor.

9. Anchor bolt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_bolt

   Anchor bolts are used to connect structural and non-structural elements to concrete. [2] The connection can be made by a variety of different components: anchor bolts (also named fasteners), steel plates, or stiffeners.
