The Numerical Analysis of Ultimate Efficiency for Vertically Loaded Anchors

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to deepen the understanding and knowing for the limited efficiency of bearing of plate anchors by means of the calculation of the ultimate holding capacity (UPC) of plate anchors with different shapes. In the process of calculation of UPC, the commercial software MARC is employed. The soil is assumed to be elastic-perfect plastic with yield determined by the VON MISES condition. And displacement constraints are imposed and the corresponding ultimate anti-force can be determined. Then the ultimate bearing efficiency of anchor plates with different shapes can be obtained.
