A method for anchoring a wall in the ground by means of pull anchors

摘要

A wall (1), such as a sheet pile wall (1) is secured in the ground (2) by making a hole in the wall (1), screwingly inserting a pull anchor (3) obliquely downwardly through the hole into the ground (2) behind the wall (1) and finally securing the proximal end of the anchor (3) to the wall (1). In case the hole is to be made below ground water level (4) a tube section (5) is secured first in a corresponding oblique position to the wall (1) and the anchor (3) is provided at its distal end (3a) with cutting means (6). The anchor (3) is then placed with its distal end (3a) into the tube section (5) and rotated to first cut the hole and thereafter inserted through the hole into the ground (2). Upon making the hole ground water may flow through the hole into the tube section (5) but is prevented from flowing further through the upper end of the tube section (5). <IMAGE>
