Hotdog Ground Anchor is a state-of-the-art retaining system applied by KR VINA, providing optimum lateral support for deep excavations in complex urban geological formations.
1. Technology Principle
Ground anchors restrain lateral movements of retaining structures by transmitting tensile loads deep into competent bearing strata.
The Hotdog Anchor utilizes specialized mechanical expansion and high-pressure jetting to create an enlarged bulbous bond zone (resembling a hotdog). This increases soil-grout frictional contact area by 2.5 to 3.0 times compared to conventional cylindrical anchors.
2. Key Advantages
▫ Superior Pullout Resistance: Withstands substantially higher design tensile capacities with shorter drilling depths.
▫ Cost & Schedule Savings: Reduces total anchor drilling quantities by 30% to 40%.
▫ Strict Deformation Control: Minimizes wall deflection, safeguarding adjoining urban infrastructure.
3. Applications
▫ Diaphragm wall and sheet pile tieback systems for high-rise basements.
▫ Highway slope stability and hillside landslide remediation.
▫ Tension anchors resisting hydrostatic uplift for underground structures.
