Ground anchorages are the main support for the structures as tunnels, mines and retaining walls. Both BS8081: 1989 and current practice suggest that there is a need for anchorages to be installed cost-effectively and monitored efficiently in terms of their long-term condition. An EPSRC research project was carried out to investigate the application of the GRANIT system developed at the University of Aberdeen, a proven viable long-term condition monitoring system for rock anchorage, to soil anchorages incorporating soil behaviour.
