Abstract (en)

A ground anchor assembly and method for installing same are disclosed. The ground anchor assembly is composed of an anchor member (11) adapted for penetration of the ground (g) and a pull member (12) connected to the anchor member (11) and adapted for permitting an embedding medium (17) to be poured into the pull member (12) so that it is distributed to completely surround and encapsulate the pull member (12) and the anchor member (11) within a hole (H) in the ground (g). The embedding medium (17) allows the ground anchor assembly to support tensile and compressive loads and reduces stresses on the connection between the anchor member (11) and pull member (12). In addition, the embedding medium (17) is preferably water impermeable and seals the anchor member (11) and pull member (12) from moisture and other elements which could cause corrosion. <IMAGE>
