A new kind of the fiber reinforced plastic(FRP) screw anchor has been trial-produced. Screw vane with involute shape applied to this anchor can crush out little stones around the vane
so the anchor can be turned into soil a desired length with less disturbance. FRP is adopted as anchor rod
which is flexible and not prone to corrosion
so the service life is extended. The material properties
structure and design
tensile and creep properties
the instrument and method of installation of the anchor are given in detail.
