Numerical analyses
and model tests were performed to study the uplift behavior of
individual anchors and paired anchors in dense sand. A constitutive
model named “SHSE” was used in the FLAC3D software to simulate the
behavior of dense sand. To emphasize the applicability of the numerical
model, results of numerical analyses were verified by results from model
anchor tests. It was found that the load-displacement behaviors
calculated by the numerical method were closed to model anchor tests not
only for individual anchors but also for paired anchors. Based on the
definition of end resistance coefficient, when the overburden-diameter
ratio Z/D<7 can be defined as a shallow anchor, when Z/D=7~14 is
classified to a transited anchor, when Z/D>14 is belong to a deep
anchor. The peak end bearing can be found in shallow anchors but not in
deep anchors. The yielding end-resistance of depth anchor develops at a
displacement of 25%D. The coefficient of lateral earth pressure Kf
equals to 1.47 and slightly decreased with overburden depth when an
anchor reaches its peak friction. The coefficient of earth pressure at
residual friction Kr is less than the coefficient of earth pressure at
rest K0. When overburden depth of anchors equal to 4D~10D, there will
be virtually no group effect for total load and friction force if
anchors are placed 7D horizontally apart, and 10D horizontal space can
eliminates the influence of end resistance. We can treat paired anchors
as two independent anchors, if the overburden depth of them equal to 16D
and placed more than 6D apart horizontally . A series of design figures
of group effect was then established based on the numerical results of
paired anchors. The yielding zone of the two anchors overlap if they are
placed 2D horizontally apart. Soils between pair anchors remain elastic
and moves together with fixed end of the anchor. The overlap of yielding
range decreases with increasing horizontal space. Finally, as the
horizontal spacing of paired anchors is greater than a critical value,
the two anchors tend to develops independent yielding zone. |
