Experimental study on the performance of plate anchor retaining walls
TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to evaluate the performance of plate anchor retaining in both onshore and offshore structures, and the results showed that plate anchors are one of the most important retaining objects that are widely used in on-and offshore structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and numerical investigation of uplift behavior of umbrella-shaped ground anchor
TL;DR: In this article, the uplift performance of an umbrella-shaped ground anchor in clay is studied through a series of laboratory and field uplift tests, and it is shown that the umbrella has higher uplift capacity than conventional anchors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Undrained uplift capacity of deeply embedded strip anchors in non-uniform soil
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented new theoretical predictions of the undrained uplift capacity of deeply embedded inclined strip anchors in a soil stratum with a linear variation of strength with depth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of the Lifting Forces for Cassava Harvesting
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical model based on knowledge in soil dynamics is presented for predicting the lifting force requirement of a flat plate submerged in the soil, which includes soil mechanical properties such as soil cohesion, angle of shearing resistance and unit weight, and also the size of plate and depth in soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uplift Capacity of Horizontal Strip Anchors in Cohesionless Soil
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the details of the theoretical analysis of horizontal strip anchor in cohesionless soil using Kotter's equation, where a plane failure surface inclined at a characteristic angle with the ground surface is assumed.

Extended limit design theorems for continuous media
TL;DR: In this paper, the safe loads for a Prandtl-Reuss material subject to surface tractions or displacements which increase in ratio are extended to any perfectly plastic material and any history of loading.

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.
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
Failure Loads of Vertical Anchor Plates in Sand
TL;DR: In this article, a series of tests on model anchor plates in sand are described in the form of dimensionless force coefficients and shape factors relating failure loads to the geometry of the anchor and its depth of embedment.
