an "anchoring tie" refers to a device or component used to provide anchorage or reinforcement in structural systems. It is commonly used to prevent or resist movement or displacement of structural elements. An anchoring tie involves the use of materials such as steel bars, cables, or other reinforcement elements that are securely embedded or attached to the structural components. The tie is designed to transfer tensile forces or loads to a stable foundation or support system, enhancing the overall stability and structural integrity of the project.
