Field investigation of the axial resistance of helical piles in dense sand
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of compression and tension load tests performed on a single helical pile installed in dense sand are presented, using strain gauges that allowed the shaf...

Inclined loading capacity of suction piles in sand
TL;DR: In this article, a series of model tests have been conducted on a model suction pile embedded in sand to evaluate its inclined pull-out loading capacity, where the main variables of the study were the load inclination angle and the point of mooring line attachment which varies from the top to the bottom of the side surface.

Influence of Dilation Angle on Drained Shallow Circular Anchor Uplift Capacity
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study of uplift capacity of 22 circular helical anchors installed in sand with peak friction angles between 40 and 50° was performed, and the results indicated that the dilation angle varied between 10 and 25° for these peak friction angle.

Numerical and experimental study on influence of installation effects on behaviour of helical anchors in very dense sand
Zorany Agudelo Pérez,José Antonio Schiavon,Cristina de Hollanda Cavalcanti Tsuha,Daniel Dias,Luc Thorel +4 more
TL;DR: The use of helical anchors has been increasing in recent years; however, the current understanding of its behaviour does not allow for reliable estimates of uplift capacity and load displacement as mentioned in this paper.

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.

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.

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.
