(RULS,m)min is the lowest value of RULS;m measured from a number of
investigation or suitability tests (n), for each distinct ground condition
RULS;k is the characteristic value of the resistance of an anchor complying with
ULS.

Significant of changes
The new proposals presents a rational design
method for anchors
The current anchor testing practices in many
countries will required modification.
The introduction of FServ,k is relatively novel
within the Eurocode system.
