Deep Anchor Long-Term Model Tests.
Abstract
The results of a laboratory study investigating the behavior deeply embedded model anchors is presented. Emphasis is placed on long-term static holding capacity. Quantitative data describing the soil-anchor interaction, including pore pressure responses to applied loads, is presented and analyzed. For long-term static loading it was found that two distinct stages of soil-anchor behavior governed by different mechanisms existed. The first stage was dominated by local shear and consolidation while the second stage was dominated by soil creep. For the normally consolidated soil tested, for which the liquidity index was generally greater than 1, there was no evidence indicating that long-term holding capacity is less than short-term holding capacity.
