Holding Capacity of Inclined Square Plate Anchors in Clay

A Study on Load Capacity of Horizontal and Inclined Plate Anchors in Sandy Soils

Foundations of structures which are subjected to uplift loading require anchoring systems to resist pullout loads. Such anchors can be broadly classified as gravity anchors, pile anchors and plate anchors. Plate anchors can be circular, square or strip in shape. The loading applied on plate anchors can be vertical, inclined or horizontal depending on the anchor orientation. In this study, vario...

A Study on the Holding Capacity Safety Factors for Torpedo Anchors

The use of powerful numerical tools based on the finite-element method has been improving the prediction of the holding capacity of fixed anchors employed by the offshore oil industry. One of the main achievements of these tools is the reduction of the uncertainty related to the holding capacity calculation of these anchors. Therefore, it is also possible to reduce the values of the associated ...

Optical Prediction of Water-Holding Capacity

The pH of meat has a strong effect on both light scattering (paleness) and water-holding capacity (WHC), using WHC imprecisely as a general term to describe fluid distribution and retention. Light scattering has many attributes in meat (in relation to wavelength, direction and polarization), and is easier to measure on a routine basis than pH. Thus, the indirect correlation of light scattering ...

Water-Holding Capacity of Fresh Meat

Water-holding capacity of fresh meat (ability to retain inherent water) is an important property of fresh meat as it affects both the yield and the quality of the end product. This characteristic can be described in several ways, but in fresh products that have not been extensively processed, it is often described as drip loss or purge. The mechanism by which drip or purge is lost from meat is ...
