DIN EN 1537:2014-07

This Standard applies to the installation and monitoring of permanent and temporary ground anchors. It covers anchors which are able to be stressed and are able to be tested in accordance with EN ISO 22477-5. The planning and design of ground anchors calls for experience and knowledge in this specialised field and although these topics are covered briefly in EN 1997-1 Eurocode 7 : Geotechnical Design, Part 1 : General Rules. This Standard does not address alternative systems of anchoring such as tension piles, screw anchors, mechanical anchors, soil nails, expander anchors or deadman anchors.
