Cable anchors provide active and reliable stabilization for slopes where traditional methods may fall short. When designed and installed properly, they offer long-term resistance against sliding forces, especially in steep, deep-cut, or heavily loaded slopes. By establishing a calculation model for a high and steep slope, the changes of displacement of slope foot and increment of force on the cables under different prestresses were calculated. Such slopes are inherently vulnerable to instability due to gravity forces, unfavorable geological conditions, weathering, and groundwater. Cable anchors, also known as prestressed ground anchors or tieback anchors, are a critical component of modern slope stabilization systems, particularly in deep-seated or high-cut slopes.
