  • Abstract
    The uplift capacity of rock anchor groups was examined by full- scale field tests in different rock formations. The results are analyzed and the different modes of failure are discussed in view of the test results with emphasis on the rock pull-up failure mechanism. Important design parameters are summarized for the convenient use of the engineer in the design of transmission tower foundations anchored in bedrock.
