Rate effects on the vertical uplift capacity of footings founded in clay
TL;DR: In this article, a series of uplift tests performed in a drum centrifuge on shallow square footings founded on clay and sand, with an overlying sand backfill, was conducted to examine the influence on uplift capacity of the direction of load inclination.

Effect of anchor width on pullout capacity of strip anchors in sand
Vishwas N. Khatri,Jyant Kumar +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of anchor width on vertical uplift resistance of a strip anchor plate has been examined using lower bound finite element limit analysis and linear programming, where the anchor was embedded horizontally in a granular medium and an iterative procedure was implemented to incorporate the variation of peak soil friction angle (ϕ) with mean principal stress (σm).

Critical height and surface deformation of column-supported embankments
TL;DR: In this article, column-supported embankments with or without basal geosynthetic reinforcement can be used in soft ground conditions to reduce settlement by transferring the embankment load to the columns through stress redistribution above and below the foundation subgrade level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vertical Uplift Capacity of Equally Spaced Horizontal Strip Anchors in Sand
TL;DR: In this paper, the vertical uplift capacity of an infinite number of rigid strip plate anchors placed in a group and embedded in sand, has been determined and an upper bound theorem of limit analysis in combination with finite elements and linear programming has been used to perform the analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic uplift capacity of inclined strip anchors
TL;DR: In this article, the uplift capacities of inclined strip anchors in soil with a horizontal ground surface are obtained under seismic conditions, and the results are presented in the form of seismic uplift capacity factors as functions of anchor inclination, embedment ratio, angle of internal friction of the soil and horizontal and vertical seismic acceleration coefficients.

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.
