Uplift behavior of shallow horizontal plate anchors in sand

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented theoretical and numerical methods for determination of the uplift behavior of horizontal anchor plates loaded by a vertical tension force, for plane and spatial axially-symmetrical strain conditions.

Biomimetic for new soil-anchor designs

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of experiments investigating the anchoring properties of fractal-tree geometries similar to root systems were presented, where fractal shapes have excellent resistance to pulling, while the amount of material needed for their construction is much lower than plain anchors.

Seismic stability of obliquely loaded circular plate anchors

TL;DR: In this article, the vertical uplift resistance of obliquely loaded circular plate anchors buried in sand subjected to seismic loadings has been obtained in terms of seismic uplift factor (Fγs) due to soil self-weight component for a wide range of parameters.

Horizontal Anchor Plates in Cohesionless Soil

TL;DR: In this article, the definitions of horizontal anchor plates in cohesionless soil are discussed and the importance of reinforcement in submergence, cyclic response of anchor plates, and the pullout response of group anchor plates are discussed.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Ultimate Uplift Capacity of Foundations

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, +1 more
- 01 Mar 1982 - 
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.

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.
