The choice of steel grade depends on a number of factors, whilst the higher strength steel will always
produce the lightest weight anchor this may not be suitable for stiffness requirements, onsite welding or
lead-times. Other grades of steel are available please contact Anker Schroeder to discuss further.
Depending on diameter and length required Anker Schroeder tie bars are manufactured using selected
fine grained steel, high strength low alloy steel or quench and tempered steel. The choice of steel is
dependent upon your specific project requirements but the above minimum properties will be met. All tie
bars and components are manufactured to a quality system audited and accredited to ISO 9001.

When designing anchors for retaining walls the following should be considered
Design Resistance the anchorage
should be designed to provide sufficient design resistance to satisfy the
design load required (note the design
resistance is calculated differently
between design codes).
of the shaft diameter and subsequently a higher grade tie bar (e.g. ASDO700)
may not be the most suitable. Movement under imposed loads may be
reduced in many cases by pre-loading
the anchors at the time of installation
to develop the passive resistance of
the ground. Pre-loading of the anchor
is most easily achieved at a threaded
end of the anchor by means of a hydraulic jack, consideration to the practicality of this should be made at design
stage.
Design
Considerations
Settlement the effect of sag of the
anchor and forced deflection due to
settlement of fill may induce significant
bending stresses at a fixed anchorage
and increase the tensile stress in the
tie rod locally. Shear stresses may also
be induced into the thread if a tie rod is
displaced when the fill settles causing
compound stresses which must be allowed for in the detailed design. This
can often be overcome by provision of
articulated joints at connections to the
wall.
Whether a connection is articulated or
fixed will affect the design resistance of
the tie bar. If connections are fixed then
a greater thread size must be used to
accommodate any bending introduced
to the anchor.

Upset forging
Unlike traditional forging in which a
parent metal is heated and forged into a
smaller dimension upset forging is a
process by which parent metal is increased in sectional area. In the case of
anchors this allows the ends of a bar to
be increased in section and threads cut
or rolled onto the forged cylinder. The
same process can also be used to form
articulated ends such as eyes or spherical ends.

Final specification
As a minimum the following information is required in order to specify the anchors correctly.
Anchors:
Grade ASDO500 - M110/85, M100/80 with articulated connections, turnbuckles and length as indicated on drawing
Minimum design resistance, Ft,Rd = 2,200 kN (after corrosion losses)
kt = 0.6 (in accordance with EN1993-5)
fy = 500 N/mm2
fua = 660 N/mm2
Corrosion protection = sacrificial steel to all bars and components as indicated

Typical Connections
Connections to sheet piles
Forces are transferred from the sheet pile to the anchor bar
through waling sections that run the length of the wall. At the
front wall these are normally placed behind the wall (i.e. earth
side) and at the anchor wall the non-bearing side.
Anchor wall
connection
Anchor forces
are transferred
directly to the anchor wall via the
waling. Generally
waling bolts are
not required.

Notes: 1. All plates grade S355 and based on the maximum thread capacity for ASDO500, k t = 0.6. For other grades or k t = 0.9.*
2. A waling gap greater than this distance will reduce the capacity of the plate.*
3. Concrete grade assumed at C35/45, plate dimensions will change for different grades of concrete.*

Design
Considerations
Anchor connections to a sheet pile wall
can be made in two ways outside the
wall or inside as shown opposite. Generally walings placed inside the retaining
wall are preferred both for aesthetic
reasons and, in the case of a wall in tidal
or fluctuating water level conditions, to
prevent damage to the waling by floating
craft or vice versa.
Placing the waling inside the wall also
allows the anchor bar to be connected
inside the wall within the pan of a sheet
pile. This greatly increases the corro
sion protection to the main tie bar connection, see detail Z.
When the waling is placed behind the
front wall, it is necessary to use waling
bolts and plates at every point of con
tact between the piles and the waling to
ensure load is transferred fully to the
waling.
Anker Schroeder supply a complete
range of waling bolts to suit project applications. Bolt heads are forged on to
the bar and if these are placed on the
outside of the wall provide greater corrosion protection than exposed threads
such as hexagon nut connections.
For design purposes the waling can
be considered as continuous with allowance being made for end spans.
Although the waling is then statically
indeterminate, it is usual to adopt a
simplified approach where the bending
moment is assumed to be wL2/10, being
the calculated load to be supplied by the

Corrosion Protection
Marine structures inherently operate in
aggressive environments and selection
of robust protection systems for tie bars
is key to the longevity of a structure. It
is very important to consider the corrosion protection of the anchors at design
stage and of particular importance is the
connection to the front wall as the anchor is typically subjected to the most
aggressive environment at this point and
this is the most common area of failure
for an anchorage.
Tables 4-1 & 4-2 of EN1993-5 give gui
dance to corrosion allowances for steel
sheet piles, it is accepted practice to
use these same rates for tie bars.
Sacrificial steel
Anker Schroeder consider sacrificial
steel to be the most practical and robust
corrosion protection. The anchor shaft
and thread size are increased in diameter
to allow for corrosion steel loss during
the life of the structure. No additional
coating is required.

The figure below shows how the threaded part of the anchor in the splash zone
has been increased in diameter to allow
for the anticipated corrosion loss. This
system is robust as no special transport
or site considerations are required.

Considerations
Wrapping systems
The most commonly used wrapping system is to cover the anchors in a protective
barrier such as petrolatum tape (e.g. Denso).
Anker Schroder can offer factory petrolatum wrapped bar, but it should be remembered, that connections cannot be
wrapped until installed on site and can
increase installation time consider ably.
The vulnerable anchor head can only be
fully protected once installed and this is
often difficult to achieve in site conditions.
It is important to ensure that protection
to connections and the anchor head are
correctly performed during installation,
any damaged or unprotected areas must
be repaired before backfilling.
Galvanising
With the exception of ASDO700 bar
Anker Schroeder tie bars and components can be hot dip galvanised to
EN ISO 1461 but consideration should
be given to threads which are unable
to have more than a nominal coating
of zinc. Please contact our technical
department for further detail.
Painting
Anchors can have any suitable paint
system applied as required by the client.
Consideration should be given to likely
damage that will occur to the paint system during transport and installation as
any break in the protective system could
lead to pitting corrosion.
Please contact our technical department
for further detail.

Site Information
Storage of anchors
Tie rods and accessories shall be stored
and handled in such a way as to avoid excessive deformation, corrosion, exposure
to heat (e.g. flame cutting), bending or
damage of any kind being caused on the
rods, threaded ends, turnbuckles or nuts.
All threaded parts must be carefully protected from dust, dirt and damage. Clean
and check all threads thoroughly before
use.
No welding or flame cutting shall be carried out on the tie rods and/or accessories (turnbuckles, couplers, nuts) without
written approval of ASDO. All tie bars and
accessories should be protected from
any exposure to heat processes on site
such as welding or flame cutting.
Anchorage Fabrications
Anker Schroeder can also supply anchorage distribution units for more
complex constructions.
26
Assembly
Container or road shipping restrictions
generally mean that anchors are delivered in sections of typically 12 m or
less, however Anker Schroeder have
direct rail links and convenient access
to docks where longer lengths can be
shipped please contact our technical
team for further detail. Sections are
assembled on site to design lengths.
Assembly on a clear hard-standing
with roller trestles is recommended.
Great care should be taken in ensuring
threads are clean and free of dirt and
damage prior to assembling. All threaded connections must be made with minimum engagement of at least 1 x diameter of the thread.
Installation
Anchors should be installed as close as
possible to the line of force that they will
experience during service. Account should
be taken of the additional forces that will
be introduced to the bar by settlement of
the fill, particularly bending at the wall
connection.
Long anchors should be lifted by use of a
stiff lifting beam with supports at approximately every 4-6 m.
Site services & training
Anker Schroeder are able to offer training
for assembly, installation and stressing
either at your site or at our factory in
Dortmund. Please contact our technical
department for more information.

Sustainability
Steel is the most recycled material in construction. All anchorage material supplied by Anker Schroeder is
sourced from reputable steel mills and, where possible, up to 90% of melt is recycled steel. Once a structure has reached the end of its design life Anker Schroeder Bars are 100% recyclable as scrap material but the economics and environmental impact of extraction from the structure need to be considered.
