Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for anchoring buildings to foundations. The disclosed devices, methods and systems comprise an embedment block comprising fasteners attaching a load bearing structure to a foundation anchor. Anchors comprise a head such as pierhead, loop, or plate or other assemblies that easily affix the anchor to its load.

A ground mounting assembly includes one or a plurality of posts, each attached to at least one stabilizing plate or scoop pyramid. The post may be driven into the ground and then lifted to deploy plates into a locking mechanism, or driven into the ground by a pile driver with plate held in place, released, and driven further and deployed into a locking mechanism, or driven into the ground and double pounded inside the post to drive reinforcing plate into slotted winglets, or driven, double pounded and rotated to extend the reinforcing plates horizontally from the pole or pile. The post also can used as a mooring in harbors, lakes, or at sea. A system based on a double pounder pile driven mono pole, optionally extendable in length, is also described.

A self-starting negative pressure drainage system for draining groundwater in a slope, includes: a declined borehole, a pipe boot, a permeable pipe and a drain pipe; wherein the declined borehole is divided into a permeable drilling section and a sealed grouting drilling section; wherein the permeable drilling section is on a lower portion of the declined borehole, and the sealed grouting drilling section is on an upper portion of the declined borehole; a water stop ring made of water-expanding rubber is provided between the permeable drilling section and the sealed grouting drilling section; the permeable drilling section comprises the permeable pipe; a top of the permeable pipe contacts the water-expanding rubber; a cavity is formed in the permeable pipe, groundwater is capable of penetrating into the cavity via the permeable pipe; an inlet of the drain pipe passes through the water stop ring made of water-expanding rubber and is inserted into the permeable pipe; a gap between the drain pipe and the drilling wall of the sealed grouting drilling section is filled with the cement mortar. The infiltration of groundwater causes the water pressure in the permeable drilling section to rise, forcing the groundwater from the borehole to naturally flow out of the orifice. After the drainage process is started, siphon acts cause a negative pressure zone formed in the permeable drilling section to force the groundwater in the slope flows quickly to the borehole. The invention is capable of realizing the real-time continuous drainage in the deep portion of the slope, which solves the drainage treatment problem of the large landslide, and ensures a low engineering cost of maintaining the stability of the slope.
