This dual aim is often satisfied by driving a row of sheet piling along the waterfront and then dredging material from the water side and depositing (sometimes the same) material on the landward side. Such a row of sheet piling driven some distance below the dredged depth and restrained near its top by tie rods anchored in the soil, is called an anchored bulkhead. 2, record 1, English, - anchored%20sheet%2Dpile%20bulkhead

On distingue : les rideaux ancrés, les rideaux sans ancrage. [...] Les rideaux ancrés doivent une partie de leur stabilité à une ou plusieurs lignes de tirants qui sont reliés à des plaques d'ancrage enterrées dans le sol à quelque distance de la paroi. Ces tirants sont attachés sur le rideau dans sa moitié supérieure. [...] Les rideaux ancrés résistent donc à la poussée des terres à la fois grâce aux efforts d'ancrage et grâce à la butée sur la fiche. 2, record 1, French, - rideau%20ancr%C3%A9
