The chute also  included anchors, steel rods tying the concrete to the foundation material below.

这个泄洪道还包括了锚固件，即连接混凝土与下方基础材料的钢杆。

And then what's giving you the anchoring force is the surface area on the sides.

而提供锚固力的，则是侧面的表面积。

Anchors add uplift resistance by holding  the slabs down against their foundation.

锚固件板件固定在基础来增浮能力。

Unfortunately those  anchors were designed for strong rock and their design wasn't modified when the actual foundation  conditions were revealed during construction.

不幸的是，这些锚固件是为坚固的岩石设计的，当实际基础条件在施工程中被发现时，它们的设计并没有进行修改。

At one place many had fallen during some heavy wind-storm, owing to the loose sandy character of the soil, which offered no secure anchorage.

在一个地方， 由于土壤松散的沙质特性， 无法提供安全的锚固， 许多人在暴风雨中倒塌了。

Additional cables, called backstays, were connected to anchorages behind each tower to balance the horizontal forces, similar to the way suspension bridges work with their towers and abutment anchorages.

额外的后拉索连接到每座塔后面的锚固点，以平衡水平力，类似于悬索桥塔和岸墩锚固点来工作的原理。
