Uses include: Anchors, intermediate protection and drilling v-threads.
Regarding building anchors: this is an art form. Ideally you'd have 3 x 22cm in perfect ice and perfectly equalized. That being said, that's often not possible so you need to know how to build the best anchor possible in that situation.
A great introduction is
but I'd also recommend taking a course.
Thanks,
