should determine, based on the soil characteristics encountered, the
pullout resistance that can be used with screw anchors, or calculate the
volume of concrete and soil required for uplift with dead-man anchors.
Additional information about the selection, installation, and testing of guy
anchors can be obtained from the manufacturers and by referring to ASCE
(1997).
In addition, guy wires can be terminated into precast stub anchors,
which are actually smaller poles or piles that are embedded (using one of
the methods already described). These stub anchors are designed to take
concentrated loads (shear, axial, and moment) at the tip end, which
extends only a few feet out of the ground.
