The horizontal pullout capacity of a group of two vertical strip plate anchors, placed along the same vertical plane, in a fully cohesive soil has been computed by using the lower bound finite element limit analysis. The effect of spacing between the plate anchors on the magnitude of total group failure load ($P_{uT}$) has been evaluated. An increase of soil cohesion with depth has also been incorporated in the analysis. For a weightless medium, the total pullout resistance of the group becomes maximum corresponding to a certain optimum spacing between the anchor plates which has been found to vary generally between 0.5B and B; where B is the width of the anchor plate. As compared to a single plate anchor, the increase in the pullout resistance for a group of two anchors becomes greater at a higher embedment ratio. The effect of soil unit weight has also been analyzed. It is noted that the interference effect on the pullout resistance increases further with an increase in the unit weight of soil mass.

This paper investigates the resistance performance of drag anchors used for aqua farms installed in southwestern offshore wind farms in Korea. These anchors have been employed for a long time without any quantitative evaluation. Experimental campaigns were performed at the target site and the results were used to validate the numerical model by changing the penetration depths in the uniformly distributed seabed (i.e., flat). Based on the validated model with good agreement with the experiments (ARE 1.8 %), the resistance of the anchor with different pullout angles was thoroughly examined. It is worth noting that the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) technique was applied to account for the large deformation of the anchor; Eulerian for the seabed and Lagrangian for the structure. The numerical results indicated that the pullout resistance is vulnerable to horizontal inclined force rather than vertical inclination, implying that the optimum performance is ideally expected to be 0-degree force applied.

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.

본 연구에서는 표면거칠기와 근입비, 직경에 따른 파이프형 앵커의 인발거동을 평가하기 위하여 실내모형실험이 시행되었다. 수직방향의 지반 변형에서 매입된 파이프형 앵커의 설계는 파이프에 부과된 힘의 크기에 의해 지배받는다. 본 논문에서는 모형실험의 분석을 통하여 파이프 직경과 표면 거칠기, 근입비와 지반상태로 야기된 파이프형 앵커의 변위 특성과 극한 저항력을 비교하고 평가하였다. 실험결과는 상대밀도의 증가에 따라 극한 인발력이 20%가량 증가하고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 지반의 상대밀도와 파이프의 지름, 표면거칠기의 변화에 따른 파이프형 앵커의 파괴시 변위는 근입비가 2에서 8로 증가함에 따라 약 5배 정도의 증가 경향을 보였다. 또한 앵커이론에 근거한 이론식들은 인발계수를 과대평가하는 것으로 나타났다.

연약지반에 적용 가능한 앵커의 기술로 개발계획인 헬릭스 형태의 소형 앵커는 기존 앵커보다는 시공 단계가 단순하고 그라우트가 양생될 때까지 기다릴 필요가 없으므로 공기단축 및 연장 롯드 반복사용이 가능하며 비용 절감효과가 있다. 또한 배토가 없으며, 회전식으로 헬리컬 앵커를 삽입하기 때문에 시공성이 좋으며, 앵커의 제거도 설치만큼 쉬우므로 가시설의 제거용 앵커로도 활용 가능하며, 헬리컬 앵커 날개 수에 따라 인발저항이 달라, 효율적인 헬리컬 앵커 설계가 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 연약지반에 헬릭스 앵커를 시험시공하기 위하여 헬리컬 앵커와 토크드라이버를 제작하였으며 헬리컬 앵커를 삽입/인발하여 지지력을 산정하는 연구를 진행하였고 관입토크와 앵커의 인발력의 상관관계를 도출하였다. 대형토조를 활용하여 모형시험을 수행한 결과 지반이 단단할수록 회전관입 토크가 크게 측정되었으며 이에 따른 인발저항도 크게 나왔다. 이 연구에서 수행한 실험범위 내에서는 인발저항과 관입토크는 서로 비례관계에 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Ground anchor should not be used in soft clay, because anchor resistance can not be guaranteed. However, there is a way to increase the capacity of anchors. The pulse powered anchor is an underreamed anchor by using high voltage electrokinetic pulse energy. In this paper, conceptual introduction of the pulse powered anchor was presented. Anchor pull-out tests were performed at the Geotechnical Experimentation Site at Sungkyunkwan University in Suwon, Korea. Data were analyzed in order to verify the performance of pulse powered anchors.

An oil boom was set up in order to contain diffused oil from spills and for the retrenchment of damage caused by oil Pollution. Therefore, the oil boom anchor needed proper holding power to endure high resistance from flowing streams and to secure the oil boom around the spill, and must dredge directly into the seabed when it is dropped and block oil outflow immediately. This study investigated the holding power of the danforth anchor and the coastal fishing vessel anchor used for oil booms in the KMPRC (Korea Marine Pollution Response Corporation). For each type, a 30 kg and 20 kg anchor were used. The holding power of the danforth anchors were measured by dropping both weights 10 times. However the coastal fishing vessel anchors were dropped only 5 times each, because no substantial differences were found between drops. In the results of the danforth anchors, an anchor awoke occurred in 2 drops of the 30 kg anchor and in 4 drops of the 20 kg anchor, wherein there was no holding power to be measured. With exception to the anchor awoke cases, the maximum holding power of the danforth 30 kg and 20 kg anchors was 250-520 kg and 123-233 kg, respectively. In the case of the coastal fishing vessel anchors of 30 kg and 20 kg, throughout the experiment, there was no occurrence of an anchor awoke. For the 30 kg and 20 kg anchors, the maximum holding power was measured to be 209-230 kg and 155-170 kg, respectively. Therefore, the holding power of the coastal fishing vessel anchor was shown to be much poorer than that of the danforth anchor. However, the holding power of the danforth anchor was very unstable. Due to the occurrences of anchor awoke, there was no holding power and the measurement value of maximum holding power showed too much variation among the drop tests. Also, after the maximum holding power was achieved, anchor awoke occurred easily. In the case of the coastal fishing vessel anchor was much more stabile, because there was no anchor awoke and no instance where holding power failed. Also the maximum holding power was reached quickly and almost no variation occurred among the drop tests.

본 연구에서는 급경사면에 설치되는 여수로를 지탱하기 위한 Anchor bar의 인발저항 특성을 현장실험을 통하여 조사하였다. Anchor bar의 주입재료로 시멘트 모르타르와 시멘트 밀크를 사용하였으며, 조건별 주입재료의 일축압축강도를 측정하였다 측정결과 시멘트 모르타르와 시멘트 밀크는 물시멘트비가 증가함에 따라 일축압축강도가 감소하며, 재령일이 증가함에 따라 일축압축강도가 증가한다. 한편, 동일한 물시멘트비와 재령일을 가질 경우 시멘트 밀크의 일축압축강도가 시멘트 모르타르의 압축강도보다 더 큼을 알 수 있다. 현장에서 Anchor bar의 인발시험시 편심이 작용되지 않도록 하기 위하여 너트형태의 철근 고정커플링을 Anchor bar에 삽입하여 설치장비를 개선시켜 시험을 실시하였다. Anchor bar의 인발시험결과 시멘트 밀크의 경우 강도발현은 재령초기에 크게 발생되는 반면 시멘트 모르타르의 경우 재령일자가 지남에 따라 강도발현이 증가하였다. 따라서 Anchor bar의 신속한 시공을 위해서는 강도발현이 재령초기에 크게 발생되는 시멘트 밀크를 주입재료로 사용하는 것이 바람직하다.

Ground anchor, commonly referred to as tiebacks or tie-down, is essentially steel elements secured in the ground by cement grout. They are used to provide either lateral or vertical support for various engineered structures, and are effective in all types of soil and rock. However, ground anchor can not be used in soft clay because anchor resistance would not be guaranteed. In this paper, conceptual introduction of the Smart Anchor is presented. The Smart Anchor is a kind of friction type anchor, the load is diffused and applied to the various parts of the distributed bond length, having less impact on the grout strength, and being able to secure necessary anchoring force in relatively soft grounds. This study shows a numerical study of predicting the load transfer of The Smart Anchor in soft clay. A beam-column analysis was performed by a elastic-plastic P-y curves in soft clay.
