Numerical analysis is carried out to identify the appropriateness of the design codes that is available for the tensile design of fastening system at Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in this study. This study is intended for the cast-in-place anchor that is widely used for the fastening of equipment in Korean NPPs. The microplane model and the elastic-perfectly plastic model are employed for the quasi-brittle material like concrete and for the ductile material like anchor bolt as constitutive model for numerical analysis and smeared crack model is employed for the crack and damage phenomena. The developed numerical model is verified on a basis of the various test data of cast-in-place anchor. The appropriateness of both ACI 349 Code and CCD approach of CEB-FIP Code is evaluated for the tensile design of cast-in-place anchor and it is proved that both design codes give a conservative results compared with real tensile capacity of cast-in-place anchor.

Uplift response of symmetrical circular anchor plates has been evaluated in physical model tests and numerical simulation using Plaxis. The behavior of circular anchor plates during uplift test was studied by experimental data and finite element analyses in loose sand. Validation of the analysis model was also carried out with 50 mm, 75 mm and 100 mm diameter of circular plates in loose sand. Agreement between the uplift responses from the physical model tests and finite element modeling using PLAXIS 2D, based on 100 mm computed maximum displacements was excellent for circular anchor plates. Numerical analysis using circular anchor plates was conducted based on hardening soil model (HSM). The research has showed that the finite element results gives higher than the experimental findings in the loose sand.

본 논문에서는 앵커로 연결된 콘크리트-강재 구조물이 극한 반복주기하중을 받는 경우를 수치 시뮬레이션하기 위하여 필요한 콘크리트-앵커 부착모형에 대하여 논하였다. 제안되는 앵커의 부착-미끄러짐 수치모형은 비선형 일축 연결요소의 조합으로 이루어지며 인발실험 결과를 이용하여 부착-미끄러짐 모형의 인자를 결정할 수 있다. 제안된 앵커 부착-미끄러짐 모형을 Abaqus 요소의 조합으로 구성하고, 이를 사용한 해석 결과와 앵커의 완전부착모형을 사용한 해석 결과를 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 이로부터 극한 반복하중을 받는 콘크리트-강재 구조물 수치해석에는 합리적인 앵커 부착-미끄러짐 모형이 반드시 사용되어야 한다는 것을 알 수 있었으며 본 연구에서 제안한 합성 연결모형을 이용하면 사실적으로 앵커의 부착-미끄러짐 현상을 모사할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

SI 앵커는 지반개량 앵커를 의미한다. 이는 앵커를 지지하는 지반을 JSP로 개량한 것으로, SI 앵커체는 80cm 정도의 직경을 가지게 된다. SI 앵커는 앵커체와 지반사이의 마찰저항력과 앵커체 앞면의 지압저항력으로 인해 높은 인발저항력을 발휘하게 되는데, 특히 마찰저항력은 JSP로 개량된 앵커체의 직경의 증대로 인해 상당히 증가하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 SI 앵커의 인발저항기구를 분석하기 위해 실내 모형실험과 현장실험을 실시하였다. 공기건조 모래지반 내에서의 실내 모형실험을 통해 SI 앵커 주변지반의 변형률장을 분석하였는데, 이는 토조 벽면에 설치된 라텍스 멤브레인을 이용한 사진 분석법을 통해 이루어 졌다. 10매의 변형률게이지가 부착된 특수 설계된 PVC 파이프를 앵커체 내에 설치하고 변형률을 측정하여 현장실험의 결과를 분석하였는데, 역시 실내 모형실험과 같이 앵커체 내에서의 변형률을 측정하였다.

A large deformation FEM (Finite Element Method) based numerical analysis has been performed to study the behaviour of the bell-shaped anchor embedded in undrained saturated (cohesive) soil with the help of finite element based software ABAQUS. A typical model anchor with bell-diameter of 0.125 m, embedded in undrained saturated soil with varying cohesive strength (from 5 kN/m² to 200 kN/m²) has been chosen for studying the characteristic behaviour of the bell-shaped anchor installed in cohesive soil. Breakout factors have been evaluated for each case and verified with the results of experimental model tests for three different types of soil samples. The maximum value of breakout factor was found as about 8.5 within a range of critical embedment ratio of 2.5 to 3. An explicit model has been developed to estimate the breakout factor (F_c) for uplift capacity of bell-shaped anchor within clay mass in terms of H/D ratio (embedment ratio). It was also found that, the ultimate uplift capacity of the anchor increases with the increase of the value of cohesive strength of the soil and H/D ratio. The empirical equation developed in the present investigation is usable within the range of cohesion value and H/D ratio from 5 kN/m² to 200 kN /m² and 0.5 to 3.0 respectively. The proposed model has been validated against data obtained from a series of model tests carried out in the present investigation. From the stress-profile analysis of the soil mass surrounding the anchor, occurrence of stress concentration is found to be generated at the joint of anchor shaft and bell. It was also found that the vertical and horizontal stresses surrounding the anchor diminish at about a distance of 0.3 m and 0.15 m respectively.

Steel anchor bolts are installed in concrete using a variety of methods. One of the most common methods of anchor bolt installation is using epoxy resin as an infill material injected into the drilled hole to act as a bonding material between the steel bolt and the surrounding concrete. Typical design standards assume uniform stress distribution along the length of the anchor bolt accompanied with single crack leading to pull-out failure. Experimental evidence has shown that the steel anchor bolts fail owing to the multiple failure patterns, hence these design assumptions are not realistic. In this regard, the presented research work details the analytical model that takes into consideration multiple micro cracks in the infill material induced via impact loading. The impact loading from the Schmidt hammer is used to evaluate the bond condition bond condition of anchor bolt and the epoxy material. The added advantage of the presented analytical model is that it is able to take into account the various type of end conditions of the anchor bolts such as bent or U-shaped anchors. Through sensitivity analysis the optimum stiffness and shear strength properties of the epoxy infill material is achieved, which have shown to achieve lower displacement coupled with reduced damage to the surrounding concrete. The accuracy of the presented model is confirmed by comparing the simulated deformational responses with the experimental evidence. From the comparison it was found that the model was successful in simulating the experimental results. The proposed model can be adopted by professionals interested in predicting and controlling the deformational response of anchor bolts.

In the past decade, different types of underreamed ground anchors have been developed for substructures requiring uplift resistance. This article introduces a new type of umbrella-shaped anchor. The uplift behavior of this ground anchor in clay is studied through a series of laboratory and field uplift tests. The test results show that the umbrella-shaped anchor has higher uplift capacity than conventional anchors. The failure mode of the umbrella-shaped anchor in a large embedment depth can be characterized by an arc failure surface and the dimension of the plastic zone depends on the anchor diameter. The anchor diameter and embedment depth have significant influence on the uplift behavior. A finite element model is established to simulate the pullout of the ground anchor. A parametric study using this model is conducted to study the effects of the elastic modulus, cohesion, and friction angle of soils on the load-displacement relationship of the ground anchor. It is found that the larger the elastic modulus and the shear strength parameters, the higher the uplift capacity of the ground anchor. It is suggested that in engineering design, the soil with stiffer modulus and higher shear strength should be selected as the bearing stratum of this type of anchor.

Greater holding force of an anchor is required for maintaining the position of a larger floating structure. According to the series of model tests of pile anchors with movable fluke, the square type pile anchor, with fluke, showed more than 6 times of the uplift pulling force, compared to the same type pile anchor, without fluke. This uplift force is 100 times its weight. When the water depth is more than 40m, It is difficult to install the pile anchor. For a convenient installation method, a type of manipulator is proposed for the separation of a weight and buoyancy controller, using TRIZ.

The optimal design of floating type fisheries facilities in the open sea is demanded considering with the severe hydrodynamic forces on floating body, mooring tension and holding force of anchor. For conserving the facilities in most effective state, design and selection of anchor system is one of the most important fundamental subject. To enhance the design procedure of anchor system the holding forces of anchor are investigated by the hydraulic model test and are compared with the typical conventional results for various anchors. Applicability of previous estimation methods of holding force are checked and holding mechanism of anchor is discussed. Using the results a new computational concept of holding force is suggested considering mainly the effects of passive soil pressure (resistance), steady soil pressure, and surface friction etc. The new estimation method is proved as a feasible one by comparing the results of hydraulic model experiments. Applicability of various anchors to the anchor system on open sea fisheries structures is comprehensively reviewed using the present model tests and previous study results in the viewpoint of economy, construction and stability etc. Using the results, fundamental anchoring system design procedures are suggested to apply huge marine ranching complex with increase of the holding capacity of anchor under the optimum cost.
