Pre-stress anchor rod (rope) has the outstanding features with driving reinforcement, in-depth reinforcement, the flexibility in arrangement, short construction period, less disturbance to the rock (soil) body, good economical efficiency and so on, therefore it is widely applied in the engineering of such as bridge, side slope, foundation pit, tunnel, dam reinforcement, anti-floating and anti-leaning structures, geological disaster control and so on. This article summarized the testing method in common use and the present development of the apparatus and existent problems, pointed out the research and development trend of the measuring and testing techniques in pre-stress anchoring engineering.
