ABSTRACT
The use of steel tendons in soil nailing and ground anchoring has been commonplace for both permanent and temporary applications. Double corrosion protection (DCP) is required to ensure a serviceable design life, and these have evolved to become complicated assemblies comprising numerous components. This complexity is mainly associated with durability considerations including potential exposure to aggressive ground conditions, and, ensuring separation of dissimilar metals within the anchorage assembly itself.
