Geotechnical stability analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe recent advances in stability analysis that combine the limit theorems of classical plasticity with finite elements to give rigorous upper and lower bounds on the failure load.

Axial testing and numerical modeling of square shaft helical piles under compressive and tensile loading
Ben Livneh,M. Hesham El Naggar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed investigation of axial performance of helical piles is presented, where axial loads are investigated for both tensile and compressive axial load loads.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sand Deformation around an Uplift Plate Anchor
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of model tests are performed to investigate the influence of particle size, soil density, and anchor embedment depth on soil deformation, and the failure surface is studied by tracking the points with maximum shear strain values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Helical piles: an innovative foundation design option for offshore wind turbines.
Byron W. Byrne,Guy T. Houlsby +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents the use of helical pile foundations, routinely applied onshore where large tension capacities are required, for use offshore, where a significant upscaling of the technology will be needed, particularly of the equipment required for installation of the piles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional lower-bound solutions for the stability of plate anchors in sand
TL;DR: In this paper, the pullout capacity of horizontal anchors in sand has been evaluated using three-dimensional numerical limit analysis and axisymmetrical displacement finite element analysis to evaluate the effect of anchor shape.

The Ultimate Uplift Capacity of Foundations
G G Meyerhof,J I Adams +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the ultimate uplift capacity of foundations with special reference to transmission tower footings is evaluated and a number of model uplift tests made by the authors and by others are studied and evaluated.

The behaviour of anchor plates in sand
R. K. Rowe,E. H. Davis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a theoretical investigation into the behavior of anchor plates in sand, considering the effects of anchor embedment, friction angle, dilatancy, initial stress and initial stress on the anchor.

Uplift of Anchor Plates in Sand
Edward J. Murray,James D. Geddes +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an investigation into the vertical uplift of anchor plates in a cohesionless medium is described, and factors investigated in relation to the loaddisplacement response were the size and shape of plate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breakout resistance of objects embedded in ocean bottom
TL;DR: For relatively shallow anchors in undisturbed dense and stiff soils, general shear along a convex, torical slip surface is observed as mentioned in this paper, which degenerates into a cylindrical surface for remolded, compressible and semiliquid soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uplift behavior of horizontal anchor plates in sand
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of anchor geometry, embedment, and soil density on the uplift capacity of one-meter prototype anchors was investigated by subjecting 25mm models to an acceleration of 40 g in the Liverpool centrifuge.
