    Anchor Calculations 1.0

    Uploaded by

    AhmedKarim
    This document provides calculations for anchoring a retaining wall. It calculates the required anchor capacity, bond length, free length, and whaler beam size. It determines that 5 strands each carrying 142.8 kN are needed, with a minimum bond length of 9.47 m and free length of 12 m. A 305x102x46 kg/m section satisfies the required plastic modulus of 1276 cm3 for the whaler beam experiencing a maximum moment of 224.91 kNm, with an acceptable deflection of 2.5 mm.
