E-raamat: Anchors in Theory and Practice / Anker in Theorie Und Praxis: Proceedings of the international symposium, Salzburg, Austria, 9-10 October 1995

Papers in English and German from the October 1995 symposium deal with aspects of anchors, such as bearing capacity and effects of anchors, types of anchors, long-term behavior, and protection against corrosion. A section of case histories discusses anchor applications in soils, jointed rock, and homogeneous concrete, including slack or prestressed reinforcement of soils; retaining walls; temporary or permanent supports in mining; and construction. About half of the papers are in German, with English abstracts. No index. Of interest to designers, manufacturers, contractors, and owners. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Over the past decades a great variety of anchor types has been developed for a multitude of different applications in soils, jointed rock or homogeneous concrete, and thus the experiences gained served a basis for futher development. Special importance was attached to the design of permanent anchors with protection against corrosion and to in situ monitoring in order to ensure the permanent contribution of anchors to the stability of the structure. More than 50 papers are focussing subjects that are of interest to designers, manufacturers, contractors and owners and are dealing with the topics load bearing capacity and effect of anchors, history cases, types of anchors as well as protection against corrosion and long term behaviour.
