Resistance law of a rod penetrating a multilayer granular raft

TL;DR: In this article , an experimental study on the resistance law of a rod vertically penetrating different kinds of multilayer granular rafts with a constant velocity was conducted to reveal the mechanical properties of the multi-layer granular materials.

Experimental Study on Uplift Capacity of Horizontal Circular and Strip Anchor Plates in Two-Layered Cohesionless Soil

TL;DR: Load-displacement behavior and vertical uplift capacity of horizontal anchor plate embedded in layered sand deposits have been investigated by conducting laboratory model tests as discussed by the authors, where Strip and circular plate anchors are used for this purpose.

Investigation on overburden thickness considering face and anti-floating stability of shallow shield tunnel

TL;DR: In this paper , the traditional wedge-prism model was optimized, and formulas for active and passive limit support pressure of tunnel faces were derived for various excavation inclination angle and seepage conditions.

Simulation of compound anchor intrusion in dry sand by a hybrid FEM+SPH method

TL;DR: In this article , deformable compound anchors in dry sand are simulated by coupling the Finite Element Method (FEM) with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), which can calculate granular flows at lower computational cost than SPH alone.

Numerical study of a vertical pullout capacity of strip anchor plate on a frictional soil

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a numerical study of the ultimate pullout capacity of an isolated strip plate anchor, using the finite element method by Plaxis 2D software, where the plate anchor is assumed rigid horizontally installed in a frictional soil and subjected to a centered vertical load.

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

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.
