A Study on Load Capacity of Horizontal and Inclined Plate Anchors in Sandy Soils
نویسنده
چکیده
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, various experimental, theoretical and numerical approaches for estimation of load capacity of horizontal and inclined plate anchors are reviewed. A parametric analysis of load capacity is then carried out for plate anchors embedded in sandy soils by varying embedment ratio for horizontal anchors and by varying inclination angle for inclined plate anchors.
