anchor recess A formwork blockout or recess former fitted to the edge formwork of a post-tensioned concrete member, and that creates a temporary void space external to the prestressing anchor to allow the anchor block or similar to be fitted after formwork stripping. [3]: 32 anchor set See wedge set. anchorage assembly
A suction caisson can effectively be described as an inverted bucket that is embedded in the marine sediment.Attachment to the sea bed is achieved either through pushing or by creating a negative pressure inside the caisson skirt by pumping water out of the caisson; both of these techniques have the effect of securing the caisson into the sea bed.
Auto anchor— the anchor is automatically built by concatenating (running together) template fields such as the author last names and the year (e.g. SmithJones1999) Custom anchor— the anchor is created from text defined in a field; Reference- anchor— the anchor consists of Reference- plus the defined text; Anchor types can be combined.
Attempts have been made to increase the safety of bridges with pin and hanger assemblies by adding some form of redundancy to the assembly. Retrofits that add redundancy to pin and hanger assemblies include adding a "catcher's mitt"—a short steel beam attached to the bottom of the cantilevered girder that extends out beneath the suspended girder to "catch" the suspended girder should ...

The reinforcement in a RC structure, such as a steel bar, has to undergo the same strain or deformation as the surrounding concrete in order to prevent discontinuity, slip or separation of the two materials under load.
Table values are derived [3] from vector analysis: . For a V arrangement, = + For the Triangle, = (+) + The load on the sling is the same in each example. For the V arrangement, the anchor force is equal to the tension in the sling, but for the triangle the anchor force is greater than the sling tension.
A A-grade Also aid climbing grade. The technical difficulty grading system for aid climbing (both for "original" and an adapted version for "new wave"), which goes: A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and up to A6 (for "new wave"). See C-grade. Abalakov thread Abalakov thread Also V-thread. A type of anchor used in abseiling especially in winter and in ice climbing. ABD Also assisted braking device. A term ...
