Through extensive literature research and extensive engineering surveys, the recent development status of new geotechnical anchors (cables) at home and abroad is comprehensively discussed from six aspects, namely, new geotechnical anchors (cables) used for underground engineering support, urban foundation pit reinforcement, corrosion geological engineering reinforcement, soft soil layer engineering reinforcement, underground cavern explosion resistance, and slope earthquake disaster management. On this basis, the main problems still existing in the development of anchors (cables) are analyzed, and the important work that needs to be further carried out in the future is pointed out, including strengthening the research and development of yield-type anchors (cables) for deep underground engineering support problems, strengthening the research and development of non-metallic anchors (cables) for durability problems of anchoring projects, strengthening the research and development of recovery anchors (cables) for urban foundation pit engineering reinforcement problems, strengthening the research and development of expansion-type anchors (cables) for soft soil layer engineering reinforcement problems, and strengthening the research and development of new explosion-proof anchors (cables) for underground cavern anchoring explosion-proof problems.
