Vertical uplift capacity of two interfering horizontal anchors in sand using an upper bound limit analysis
K. M. Kouzer,Jyant Kumar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the vertical uplift resistance of two interfering rigid rough strip anchors embedded horizontally in sand at shallow depths has been examined by using an upper bound theorem o limit analysis in combination with finite elements and linear programming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tensile monotonic capacity of helical anchors in sand: interaction between helices
TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction between the helices of a multi-helix anchor in terms of the mobilized drained capacity response in tension is examined, and the results are made on the basis of centrifuge tests.

Uplift behaviour of plate anchors with geosynthetics
N.R. Krishnaswamy,S.P. Parashar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the uplift behavior of plate anchors embedded in cohesive and cohesionless soil media, with and without geosynthetics, has been investigated with the help of small-scale model tests in the laboratory.

Plate Anchor Groups Pulled Vertically in Sand
James D. Geddes,Edward J. Murray +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the load-carrying capacity of a group of anchor plates increases with the spacing between the individual plates up to a limiting critical value, and it is demonstrated how the results of pulling tests with different numbers of plates in a group may be described in a simple unifying manner.

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.

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.
