Abstract: The influence of anchor geometry, embedment, and soil density on the uplift capacity of one‐meter prototype anchors is investigated by subjecting 25‐mm models to an acceleration of 40 g in the Liverpool centrifuge. Uplift ...

Abstract: The stress displacement behavior of vertical anchor plates and continuous anchor walls in dense sand when subjected to horizontal pull‐out forces is presented. Results of a large number of centrifugal tests on 1 in. (25 ...

Abstract: Centrifuge and conventional model studies in which short pile foundations were subjected to large overturning moments are reported. The centrifuge tests were carried out on small model piles with lengths ranging from 40 ...

Abstract: Design methods for vertical anchors subjected to horizontal pullout forces are reviewed. Theoretical predictions are compared with results from conventional tests on 2 in. (50 mm) models and centrifugal tests representing ...
