Holding Capacity of Plate Anchors

Abstract

This handbook-style report has been prepared to assist the engineer with limited geotechnical experience, in determining the holding capacity of a plate anchor for all loading conditions - short-term static holding capacity, long-term static holding capacity, impulse loading holding capacity, cyclic loading holding capacity, cyclic creep holding capacity, and the effects of earthquake loading. A flow diagram leads the user to appropriate sections of the report in the process of analyzing the various types of anchor holding capacity. The user begins with site survey, soil property requirements, and assesses whether unusual or hazardous soil conditions exist. The short-term static holding capacity is then determined. From this base the user proceeds to the other holding capacity topics as required by the expected loading conditions.
