Abstract
There are no effective ways to calculate the stability of prestressed anchor support considering the effect of prestress. Usually, the anchor is treated as a soil nail, and the safety factor is calculated by the same method of calculating soil nailing provided in standards. A simplified method is provided for calculating the safety factor of prestressed anchor support by treating the prestress as a concentrated force. Its feasibility is verified by finite element software.
