The group effect of inclined ground anchor should be considered in design, but it has been hardly studied due to the difficulties of experimental or theoretical study. In this study, the model tests for the inclined ground anchors are made, and the displacements and strain fields of ground around anchor surface are analysed. As the results of this study, the group effect of the inclined ground anchor in air dried sand ground does not show even though two anchor surfaces are very close(10.7cm, surface to surface). That is to say, ,in the case that the final failure surface by pullout of anchor shows on the anchor surface, the pullout resistances of single anchors are almost same as those of the group anchors in these model tests.

This study aimed to estimate the axial stress and torque on a shaft in a disc cutter. The corresponding inner temperature and the surface temperature of a cutter ring were also measured by using strain gauges and thermocouples during the linear cutting tests. The maximum values of the axial stress and torque were recorded to 11.3 MPa, $171kN{\cdot}m$ respectively. They have higher correlations with normal force rather than rolling force. The results of temperature measured by thermocouples during a linear cutting test showed that the rate of increase in temperature was below $0.2^{\circ}C$. When the cutter spacing is set to be 70 mm, the inner temperature and surface temperature of a disc cutter were $0.1^{\circ}C/m$, $0.15{\sim}0.17^{\circ}C/m$ respectively. Similarly, when the cutter spacing is 90 mm, the temperature values were $0.09^{\circ}C/m$, $0.13{\sim}0.23^{\circ}C/m$ respectively.
