Does anyone know of an online reference which deals with the tests required in Canada for deadman anchors.

I know that pull out tests, performance tests, proof tests and creep tests are conducted on tie back anchors but are these required /applicable for deadman anchors also.

Hi harpoon,

In my experience with numerous deadman anchors across Canada, not one required a pull-out test.
