In the present study, anchor type nail with PC-strand which can add up the pre-stress at the nailing to increase the resistance and shear stress in the whole ground has been investigated. Load-displacement and wall displacement have been analyzed by experimental model and numerical analysis of anchor type nail, nailing, and non-nailing to examine the behavior of anchor type nail. From the experimental results, it was found that horizontal displacement is considerably decreased according to increasing the load in case of anchor type nail added pre-tension. Especially, it was observed that resistance of displacement at the upper wall is increased. The results of numerical analysis show the same results of experimental results.

In this study, the research on MC anchor has been developed as composite type has done. MC anchor exerts bearing pressure on pre-bored hole where the end fixing device is expanded. Therefore, the uplift capacity is to be increased and it has the characteristics that the anchor body is not eliminated from the ground even if the grouting is not carried out properly. Furthermore, it reduces the loss of tension and raises the construction availability by inserting the reinforced bar as well as the anchor cable, while it can improve the long-term stability because the nail is expected to play the role when the loss of the anchor cable is occurred in a long-term. However, because the resistance mechanism of the compound anchor such as MC anchor is different from friction anchor, the estimation method of the uplift capacity by the frictional force of the ground and the grout is not proper. Particularly, in domestic cases, the problem to overestimate or underestimate the uplift capacity is expected because the design method considering the soil characteristics about the compound anchor has not been developed. Therefore, in this study, in order to evaluate the characteristics of MC anchor and a kind of compound anchor, we measured the uplift, the tension and the creep by nine anchors tests in shale ground that the fluctuation of the strength is great. In addition, we analyzed the test result comparing to the result of the general friction anchor and evaluated the characteristics of MC anchor movement to gather the results. As a result of the test, we found the effect that the uplift capacity is increased in shale ground comparing to the general friction anchor.
