Behaviour of Anchor Reinforcement in Offshore Pipelines
Abstract Plate anchors are an economical alternative to gravity and other embedment anchors for resisting uplift forces in the marine environment. Generally the plate is welded to a steel stem with an eye hook which accepts the external load. The ease with which plate anchors can be installed (Mc Cormick, 1979), and the fact that grouting is not required make them ideal for use underwater, to secure pipelines, moorings, and cables to the seabed. Bobbit And Clemence (1987) reported the use of anchor sets having capacities of 45 KN to 150 KN to stabilize large diameter pipelines in Indonesia as illustrated in fig. 1a. Similarly on land, geogrids have been used to enhance the uplift capacity of buried pipelines (Selvadurai, 1989). To date no field cases have been reported from the U.K. sector. Field experiments are expensive to set up, but it is the authors’ hope that when a reliable theory is produced on the basis of model tests, such those described in this paper some full-scale tests can be carried out to verify the theory.
