1881 CONCLUSIONS - Graphene reinforced GFRP anchors demonstrate structural feasibility comparable to conventional Freyssinet 500E steel anchors within accepted geotechnical safety margins. - The composite system achieves approximately 31 percent reduction in required cross sectional area and 75 percent reduction in material density while maintaining similar bond length requirements and global stability performance. - The reduction in global Factor of Safety from 1.6 to 1.5 remains within commonly accepted design limits and does not modify the overall stabilization mechanism under the analyzed conditions. - The corrosion resistance and chemical inertness of graphene enhanced composites suggest improved durability potential compared to conventional steel systems, particularly in aggressive hydrogeological environments. - The quantified material optimization indicates potential embodied carbon benefits at scale, although detailed life cycle assessment remains a subject for future research. - Further work should focus on experimental pull out validation, long term creep assessment, durability testing under representative exposure conditions and pilot scale field implementation to support industrial application. - The results support the integration of advanced composite materials within established geotechnical design frameworks without modifying conventional stability criteria.
