...X. Zhao; M. F. Randolph; D. Wang; C. Gaudin Helical anchors are used widely onshore and have recently been mooted as an innovative foundation method for lightweight offshore structures. From structural considerations, as the load requirement for each plate on a helical anchor increases, it becomes...

...S. H. Chow; C. D. O'Loughlin; R. Corti; C. Gaudin; A. Diambra This paper provides experimental evidence that shows that the drained cyclic capacity of a plate anchor in dry dense sand may be higher than the equivalent monotonic capacity. The experimental data show that when cyclic loading is low...

...A. S. Dyson; P. G. Rognon The pull-out capacity of anchors inspired by tree roots was evaluated using model tests to investigate the effect of anchor geometry on pull-out capacity. Experimental pull-out tests were performed on anchors with fractal geometries buried at shallow depths in a model...

...V. Sivakumar; J. Lively; B. Solan; J. Black A series of small-scale tests was undertaken to verify if granular anchors could be used as a slope stabilisation technique. The nature of the material used and the resulting loading configuration are described here. The work confirms that the inclusion...

... expansion. A closed-form solution for the pressure–expansion relationship is used to predict the uplift capacity of strip anchors in undrained clay. Theoretical variations of the strip anchor breakout factor are compared with conventional cylindrical cavity expansion theory and laboratory test results...

...Y. Tian; M. J. Cassidy; C. Gaudin Equations that can be used to predict the trajectory of a plate anchor under pull-out load are derived from a simple combined loading yield surface assuming associated flow. They are used to directly predict the behaviour of plate anchors with different padeye...
