Abstract: The procedures and technical details of pre\|stressed ground anchor installations are presented throughout a case history in a red clay soil cut slope construction located in a section of the Shuige, Guizhou Prov. of the Xiamen\|Chengdu Expressway Project. The pre\|stressed ground anchors along with the reinforced concrete anchor frames were tested and monitored in the project. A cost saving was achieved compared with other slope stability methods.   

Key words: red clay soils, high cut slope, pre\, stressed ground anchors
