| For assessing the soundness of slopes at locations where ground anchors were in place over a long period of time, it is necessary to understand the ground anchors constituting the slope (pressure decks, tendons and anchorages), the area of the protected slope, and the basic properties of anchors such as strength and deformability. Anchor load cells enable measurement over a relatively long period of time, say 10 years, and are useful in slope management using the tension of ground anchors. Identifying the relationship between ground anchors and slope displacement is expected to develop indexes for managing slopes by the existing slope analysis methods. In this study, therefore, a slope was constructed on which pseudo ground anchors were installed and compulsory displacement was applied at the top and from behind the slope to consider the relationship between the deformation of the slope and loading. |
