Abstract: The anchoring element has at least one anchor traction member 1 stressable against an abutment 3 and kept longitudinally movable in the ground by an envelope 5. An anchor body 6 is connected with this anchor traction member 1 at its end facing the bottom of the anchor bore. The anchor body 6 interacts with at least one pressure member 1' under pressure. This pressure member 1', cooperating with the surrounding compression body 2, is also extended, as a traction member 1' for tensioning against the abutment 3, up to the ground surface. The traction member 1' cooperating with the compression body 2 is this way used on one hand, for pressure, and on the other hand for traction.
