Anchors find their use in providing tie-back resistance for submerged footings, transmission towers, tunnels and ocean structures. Laboratory model teats were performed for the short-term net ultimate uplift capacity of a circular anchors with respect to various embedment depths and moisture content in saturated bentonite. The tests have been conducted with the anchor at two different moisture contents. Based an the model test results, empirical relationships between the net load, rate of strain, and time have been developed. Test results are as follows. 1) In creep tests for load versus ultimate uplift capacity, the displacement of plate anchors rapidly increases during the primary stage but thereafter becomes constant over a period of time. 2) Displacement increased with the increase of the sustain load and embedded ratio in soil. 3) If the load is less than or equal to 75% of the short-term ultimate uplift capacity, a complete pullout does not occur due to creep.

This study presents the development of predictive models for uplift capacity of suction caisson in clay using an artificial intelligence technique, extreme learning machine (ELM). Other artificial intelligence models like artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), relevance vector machine (RVM) models are also developed to compare the ELM model with above models and available numerical models in terms of different statistical criteria. A ranking system is presented to evaluate present models in identifying the 'best' model. Sensitivity analyses are made to identify important inputs contributing to the developed models.

본 연구에서는 내재해형 플라스틱 온실과 유리온실의 기초에 대하여 인발저항력을 검토하기 위해 사질토 지반에서 실규모로 제작한 총 15개의 온실 기초를 이용하여 현장시험을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 대상 온실 기초의 최대인발저항력은 기초의 형태 및 규모가 서로 상이함에 따라 11.6 kN~82.4kN의 범위로 나타났다. 온실기초의 최대인발저항력 산정을 위해 제안된 이론식에 대하여 현장시험 결과를 이용하여 적용성을 검토한 결과 전반적으로 기존의 산정 이론식이 현장시험결과와 근접하는 수치를 제공하는 것으로 검토되었다. 다만, 본 연구에서 고려한 지반은 사질토 지반이며, 향후 점성토지반에 대하여 기존의 인발저항력 산정 이론식의 검증이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 국내 몇몇 시험현장에서 수행한 총 54회 단일앵커시험과 4회 실규모 앵커기초에 대한 결과를 제시하였다. 시험결과, 암반앵커의 인발에 대한 파괴메커니즘은 암종 및 암질, 근입깊이, 불연속면의 특성, 텐던의 강도 등에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 불량한 암반내 얕은 앵커의 경우(정착심도 1.0m 이하) 대부분 그라우트-암반 부착파괴로 나타났으나 이러한 경우에도 깊이를 증가시키면 암반파괴를 유도할 수 있다. 반면에, 얕은 앵커기초라 하더라도 암반상태가 좋으면 부착파괴가 아닌 암반파괴의 형태를 보인다. 한편 실내부착강도 시험결과는 표면부터 진행성파괴가 나타나며 점차 아래로 전파된다. 이때 측정된 텐던-그라우트 부착강도는 그라우트 일축압축강도의 약 $18{\sim}25%$로 나타났으며, 방식 쉬이스로 인한 부착강도의 감소는 보이지 않았다. 연구결과로부터 암반앵커시스템의 인발지지력을 지배하는 주요 파라메터를 결정하고 적용 암반의 분류기준을 제시하였으며, 최종적으로 인발에 대한 암반앵커기초의 지지력을 평가할 수 있는 간편화된 절차를 제안하였다.

지하수위가 높은 지역에 설치된 지중연속벽 주변지반 속에 발생되는 지중파괴면의 형상을 조사하기 위해 일련의 모형실험을 실시하였다. 모형실험에서 벽체가 인발될 때 발생하는 벽체 주변지반의 변형거동을 사진으로 촬영하여 관찰하였고 이 지반변형 결과를 분석하여 지중연속벽 주변지반에 발생되는 지중파괴면의 형상을 파악할 수 있었다. 이렇게 파악된 지중파괴면의 형상에 근거하여 지중연속벽의 인발저항력을 산정할 수 있는 이론해석을 실시하였다. 이 이론해석에는 벽체와 지반에 관한 주요 특성이 잘 반영되어 있다. 즉 벽체의 특성으로는 벽체의 길이, 두께 및 벽면조도가 포함되어 있으며 지반의 특성에 관하여는 흙의 내부마찰각 및 점착력과 같은 전단강도정수가 포함되어있다. 제안된 해석모델에 의거하여 예측된 지중연속벽의 인발저항력은 모형실험에서 측정된 실험치와 잘 일치하였다.

Roof is an integral part of building envelope. It protects occupants from environmental forces such as wind, rain, snow and others. Among those environmental forces, wind is a major factor that can cause structural roof damages. Roof due to wind actions can exhibit either flexible or rigid system responses. At present, a dynamic test procedure available is CSA A123.21-04 for the wind uplift resistance evaluation of flexible membrane-roofing systems and there is no dynamic test procedure available in North America for wind uplift resistance evaluation of rigid membrane-roofing system. In order to incorporate rigid membrane-roofing systems into the CSA A123.21-04 testing procedure, this paper presents the development of a load cycle. For this process, the present study compared the wind performance of rigid systems with the flexible systems. Analysis of the pressure time histories data using probability distribution function and power spectral density verified that these two roofs types exhibit different system responses under wind forces. Rain flow counting method was applied on the wind tunnel time histories data. Calculated wind load cycles were compared with the existing load cycle of CSA A123.21-04. With the input from the roof manufacturers and roofing associations, the developed load cycles had been generalized and extended to evaluate the ultimate wind uplift resistance capacity of rigid roofs. This new knowledge is integrated into the new edition of CSA A123.21-10 so that the standard can be used to evaluate wind uplift resistance capacity of membrane roofing systems.

The use of helical anchors has been extensively beyond their traditional use in the electrical power industry in recent years. They are commonly used in more traditional civil engineering infrastructure applications so that the advantages of rapid installation and immediate loading capability. The majority of the research has been directed toward the tensile uplift behaviour of single anchors (only one plate) by far. However, anchors commonly have more than one plate. Moreover, no thorough numerical and experimental analyses have been performed to determine the ultimate pullout loads of multi-plate anchors. The understanding of behavior of these anchors is unsatisfactory and the existing design methods have shown to be largely inappropriate and inadequate for a framework adopted by engineers. So, a better understanding of helical anchor behavior will lead to increased confidence in design, a wider acceptance as a foundation alternative, and more economic and safer designs. The main aim of this research is to use numerical modeling techniques to better understand multi-plate helical anchor foundation behavior in soft clay soils. Experimental and numerical investigations into the uplift capacity of helical anchor in soft clay have been conducted in this study. A total of 6 laboratory tests were carried out using helical anchor plate with a diameter of 0.05 m. The results of physical and computational studies investigating the uplift response of helical anchors in soft clay show that maximum resistances depend on anchor embedment ratio and anchor spacing ratio S/D. Agreement between uplift capacities from laboratory tests and finite element modelling using PLAXIS is excellent for anchors up to embedment ratios of 6.

This study elucidates the uplift behaviors of the straight-sided and belled shafts. The field uplift load tests were carried out on 18 straight-sided and 15 belled shafts at the three collapsible loess sites under an arid environment on the Loess Plateau in Northwest China. Both the site conditions and the load tests were documented comprehensively. In general, the uplift load-displacement curves of the straight-sided and belled shafts approximately exhibited an initial linear, a curvilinear transition, and a final linear region, but did not provide a well defined peak or asymptotic value of the load, and therefore their uplift resistances should be interpreted from the load test results using an appropriate criterion. Nine representative uplift resistance interpretation criteria were used to define the "interpreted failure load" for each of the load tests, and all of these interpreted uplift resistances were normalized by the failure threshold, $T_{L2}$, obtained using the $L_1-L_2$ method. These load test data were compared statistically and graphically. For the straight-sided and belled shafts, the normalized uplift load-displacement curves were respectively established by the plots that related the mean interpreted uplift resistance ratio against the mean displacement at the corresponding interpreted criteria, and the comparisons of the normalized load-displacement curves were made. Specific recommendations for the designs of uplift belled and straight-sided shafts in the loess were given, in terms of both capacity and displacement.

Anchors are primarily designed and constructed to resist outwardly directed loads imposed on the foundation of a structure. These outwardly directed loads are transmitted to the soil at a greater depth by the anchors. Buried anchors have been used for thousands of years to stabilize structures. Nowadays, various types of earth anchors are used for the uplift resistance of transmission towers, utility poles, submerged pipelines, and tunnels. Anchors are also used for the tieback resistance of earth-retaining structures, waterfront structures, at bends in pressure pipelines, and when it is necessary to control thermal stress. In this research we analyzed the uplift behavior of plate anchors in sand using a laboratory experiment to estimate the uplift behavior of plate anchors under various conditions. To achieve the research purpose, the uplift resistance and displacement characteristics of plate anchors caused by the embedment ratio, plate diameter, and loading rate were studied, compared, and analyzed in various cases.
