Load-Carrying Mechanism of Vertical Plate Anchors in Sand
AbstractAn experimental study on the load-carrying mechanism of vertical plate anchors is presented and discussed. It was found that, with a shallow anchor, the rupture surface reached the ground surface, leading to a general shear failure, whereas with deeper embedment, the rupture surface was localized around the anchor. Anchors placed close to the ground surface failed in linear rupture but, when embedded within the failure mechanism, were very close to the polar curve of a logarithmic spiral, which, however, tends to be nearly circular for deeper depths of embedment. The size of rupture surface increases with an increase in density of fill soil that mobilizes higher resistance, leading to enhanced anchor capacity. The critical embedment depth beyond which the anchor breakout factor does not change much is found to be approximately 7 times the anchor height for dense soil, whereas it is approximately 5 times the anchor height for loose soil. The anchor when placed below the critical depth, settlement, and heave on the fill surface tend to be marginal.
