1. The Difference Between Ground Anchors and Tension Piles
 Ground anchors feature a debonded free length, which

can be prestressed and locked-off.
 Ground anchors do not extend under service loadings,
tension piles extend.
 Load transfer for ground anchors, within the stable zone of
the borehole, can be proven by testing. Not possible with
tension piles.
 Testing of ground anchors covered by testing standard,
ISO 22477-5
 Corrosion protection of permanent ground anchors
covered under EN1537, corrosion protection for tension
piles unclear.

2. Corrosion Protection for Permanent Ground Anchors, EN 1537
 Single corrosion protection, with a verifiable protection barrier, using

the electrical isolation method.
 TMD system using a post grouted sleeve, prior to installation of the
anchor tendon.
 Double corrosion protection (DCP), two independent barriers over the
whole anchor tendon.
Methods Not Accepted as Corrosion Protection for Ground Anchors
 Borehole Grout - Risk of contamination, water ingress, not 100%

encapsulation
 Sacrificial Corrosion Allowance - Corrosion rates are accelerated on
stressed tendons (stress corrosion cracking), also corrosion rates are
not predictable
 Galvanizing - Limited lifespans of 5-15 years

3. DYNA Force Elasto-Magnetic Load Monitoring System
 Magnetic permeability of a stressed tendon increases in relation

to tendon stress.
 Magnetic permeability is correlated against stress to enable
anchor loads to be measured remotely.
 DYNA Force readings not affected by temperature variation.
 Eccentric loading at anchor heads does not affect DYNA Force
readings.
 No additional projection at the face of the bearing plate, as the
DYNA Force sensor is placed beneath the bearing plate, within
the borehole.

4. Condition Assessment and Remediation of Corroded Anchor Heads
 The section of anchor tendon directly beneath the

anchor head / bearing plate is the area of highest risk
for corrosion, i.e. at the soil / air interface.
 Assessments either by re-stressing (with caution) or de-
stressing and removal of the anchor head / plate
assembly.
 Remediation options:
 Re-instating corrosion protection
 Upgrading corrosion protection
 Coupling and replacing corroded tendon section
