Design Procedures for Embedment Anchors Subjected to Dynamic Loading Conditions
Abstract
This report provides procedures for determining allowable design loads for embedment anchors under all types of dynamic loads, including impact (as from a ship driving into a mooring), cyclic (as from a buoy or ship riding in a mooring system during a storm), and earthquake loading. The design procedures are simplified in the form of guidelines applicable to most site conditions and are complete to the point of including the following: (1) site survey requirements; (2) detailed static design procedures; (3) description and definition of dynamic loads; (4) design procedures for impact, cyclic, and earthquake loading; (5) selection and use of appropriate factors of safety; and (6) description of available existing CEL embedment anchor hardware. While the procedures are designed specifically for the NCEL-developed family of propellant (often termed explosive) embedded anchors, they are applicable to other types of embedment anchors and screw anchors.
