This paper describes two of the three major goals of Phase 1 of a National Research Program dealing with rock anchors for North American dams. The study commenced in 2005 and has, to date, found approximately 400 case histories spanning four decades, and 230 technical papers. A review of the bibliography is provided with special emphasis on the evolution of the philosophies and details of corrosion protection. This focus is maintained when analyzing the information in the database, while data are also provided on costs and prices.
