To evaluate the
uplift behavior of cylindrical anchors installed in gravel formation, a
series of triaxial test results were used to obtain the parameters
needed for a strain hardening-softening and volume dilation model named
“SHSE”. Using this model, a numerical study was carried out to analyze
the behavior of vertically pulled out anchors in gravel formation. A
field test program was conducted to verify the applicability of the
numerical program. Finally, parametric studies on the factors affecting
the anchorage behavior were performed as well. The numerical results
indicate that the load-displacement of anchors calculated from this
numerical model was almost in close agreement with those of field tests.
When overburden depth, fixed length or diameter of an anchor increased,
the anchorage capacity also increased. Increasing fixed length should be
the optimum method to increase the anchorage capacity. No peak value of
end resistance can be found from a depth anchor. According to the
definition of yielding end-resistance, the yielding end-resistance of a
depth anchor develops anchor displacement about 55%D. The coefficient
of lateral earth pressure Kf decreases with fixed length and overburden
depth of an anchor in gravel formation, however it is greater than the
lateral earth pressure coefficient Kf of an anchor in sand. Based on the
development of end resistance coefficient Nq, it can be defined as a
shallow anchor when overburden-diameter ratio Z/D<11, Z/D=11~21 of an
anchor is classified to a transited anchor, Z/D>21 is belong to a
depth anchor. For tension anchor, the load transfers from the top to the
bottom of fixed end; however, the load of a compression anchor transfers
from the bottom to the top of fixed end. For a short anchor, a
rectangular shaped distribution of friction stress along fixed end can
be found except the top and bottom of fixed end. However, the friction
stress along the fixed anchor end shows progressive yielding when the
fixed length is greater than 3m. |
