‘Grouted Soil and Rock Anchors’, authored by Dr. Devon Mothersille, Dr. Donald Bruce, and Professor Stuart Littlejohn, has been published after nearly four years of meticulous development. This comprehensive guide is designed for consulting engineers, contractors, civil, structural, and geotechnical engineering students, and asset owners who work with or encounter grouted anchors in their projects.
Grouted anchors are widely used worldwide to support a diverse range of structures. These geotechnical installations have proven effective in applications ranging from small retaining walls with just a few tonnes capacities to large-scale pre-stressed tendons capable of withstanding several thousand tonnes to resist direct tension, sliding, overturning, and dynamic loading in critical structures like dams. Additional uses include stabilising deep excavations, reinforcing bridge abutments, and securing various other types of geotechnical structures.
The book offers valuable insights through real-world examples, demonstrating the design, construction, testing, monitoring, and maintenance of grouted anchors. Whether for a seasoned professional or a student, Grouted Soil and Rock Anchors provides the knowledge to implement and manage these vital geotechnical systems successfully.
