Abstract: The loss in anchor embedment during keying, as it rotates to become normal to the cable load, reduces the uplift capacity of anchors in normally consolidated clay. The keying behavior of plate anchors has been studied ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional large deformation finite-element (FE) analyses were performed to investigate plate anchor capacity during vertical pullout. The remeshing and interpolation technique with small strain approach was expanded ...

Abstract: The behavior of strip and circular plate anchors during vertical pullout in uniform and normally consolidated clays was studied in this paper by means of small strain and large deformation finite-element analyses. Both ...

Abstract: This paper explores the interpretation of undrained shear strength and layer boundaries from T-bar penetration resistance profiles in layered soft–stiff and stiff–soft clay sediments. The proposed interpretation framework ...

Abstract: In strong over soft two-layered clays, there is a potential for the footing to experience a punch-through failure, where the footing penetrates a large distance at a short time after the initial peak resistance is reached. ...

Abstract: Vertically installed plate anchors have been investigated in this paper by numerical analysis and centrifuge modeling. In the numerical analysis, the large deformation finite-element method (remeshing and interpolation ...

Abstract: A full-flow ball penetrometer is now routinely used in centrifuge testing for characterizing single-layer clay, silt, sand, and stratified soil samples. The behavior of the standard ball penetrometer (including the shaft) ...

Abstract: This paper describes a new approach for interpreting cone penetrometer data in soft-stiff-soft clay deposits. The identification of layer boundaries and interpretation of shear strength profile were of particular interest. ...
