in saturated soils? The browsing I've done on the internet only showed
capacity of the anchors in a 'dry' condition I'm assuming.
I'm curious how these anchors fare in storm conditions where the ground may
be saturated (heavy rain or flood).
More specifically, I've noticed the helical anchors are being specified for
use in hold down applications where tornado or hurricane activity may be
prevalent. So how do these anchors hold 'up' (really down without the pun)
when the soil has been saturated?
