Subsea pipelines are one of the most important structures used to transport fluids such as oil and natural gas in offshore environments. The uplift behavior of the pipeline caused by earthquakes and buoyancy can result in a pipeline failure. The objective of this study is to examine the peak uplift resistance through parametric studies with numerical modeling by PLAXIS 3D Tunnel. The effects of the embedment ratio and pipe diameter were first examined for uplift resistance in sand and soft clay conditions. Then the length of geogrid layers and the number of geogrid layers were examined in terms of ability to resist uplift behavior.

Anchors have been commonly used to as foundation systems of the structures that require the uplift resistance. Recently anchors have been used in ocean sediment for mooring systems to stabilizeoffshore structures. In the saturated clayey soil however suction developed between the soil and andchor and affects the uplift capacity of anchor. To estimate the uplift capacity of the andchor accurately, the failure mechanisms of the andchor by the uplift force should also be correctly assumed. The uplift capacity is usually expressed in terms of breakout factors with respect to embedment ratio. In this paper, a two-dimensional plane strain numerical investigation into the vertical uplift capacity of a plate andchor in a clayey soil is described. The breakout factor against their corresponding values of embedment ratio was calculated and plotted along a single curve. The modes of failure mechanism at shallow and deep andchors are also presented.

A series of laboratory model tests were conducted to investigate the effects of buried pipes location on the bearing capacity of strip footing in cohesionless soil. The variables examined in the testing program include relative density of the sand, loading rate of tests, burial depths of pipe and horizontal distance of pipe to footing. The test results showed a significant increase in bearing capacities when embedment ratio of pipe and horizontal distance of pipe to footing were increased. Based on the test results, it can be concluded that the location of pipes and relative density of sand are main parameters that affect the bearing capacity of strip footing. However, loading rate has not considerable effect on bearing capacity.

In this study, the uplift capacity of anchor plates embedded in sand was investigated by conducting model tests. Square shaped anchors were used in the tests and parameters such as relative density of sand, embedment ratio (H/B), spacing ratio between anchors (S/B) and anchor configuration affecting the uplift capacity were investigated. Breakout factor and group efficiency which are dimensionless parameters were used to show the results. A series of finite element analyses and analytical solutions were additionally performed to ascertain the validity of the findings from the laboratory model tests and to supplement the results of the model tests. It can be concluded that the embedment depth in dense sand soil condition is the most important parameter with respect to the other parameters as to influencing the uplift capacity of group anchors.

Model tests for the ultimate pullout resistance of anchorages and investigation of failure behaviors in cohesionless soil have been conducted. The factors affecting the anchorage are mostly the geometry of the system, and soil properties of sands. The main conclusions of the experimental work were as follows. 1. The load - displacement relationship can be a form of parabolic curve for all plates. 2. The change in ultimate pullout resistance of anchor is mostly affected by embedment ratio and size of anchor, and influenced to a lesser degree by its shape. 3. Critical embedment ratio which is defined as the failure mode changes from shallow to deep mode is increased with increasing height of anchor. 4. For a constant anchor height, as the width of anchor increases the ultimate pullout resistance also increases. However, considering the efficiency of anchor for unit area, width of anchor does not appear to have any sigrnificant contribution on increasing anchor city. 5. Anchor capacity has a linear relation to sand density for any given section and the rate of change increases as the section increases. Critical depth determining the failure patterns of anchor is decreased with a decrease of sand density. 6. With increasing inclination angle, size of anchor, and decreasing embedment ratio, the ultimate pullout resistance of anchor under inclined loading is significantly decreased. 7. The ultimate pullout resistance of double anchor, a method of improving single of anchor capacity, is influenced by the center - to - center spacing adjacent anchors. It is also found that tandem and parallel anchor rigging arrangements decrease the anchor system capacity to less than twice the single anchor capacity due to anchor interference.

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.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트 매입앵커시스템 설계코드인 ACI 349-01에 제시되지 않은 직경 50mm(2") 이상 유효매입깊이($h_{ef}$) 635mm(25") 이상의 대형 매입앵커시스템에서 전단 파열파괴 성능과 거동특성을 파악하기 위하여 24개의 실규모 시험을 하였다. 시험변수로는 앵커볼트의 직경($d_0$=63.5, 76.2, 88.9mm), 앵커볼트의 매입깊이($h_{ef}$=635, 762mm), 연단거리($c_1$=381, 508, 762mm) 그리고 콘크리트강도($f_{ck}$= 38MPa)로 하였다. 예측식인 $V_{aci06}$과 $V_{ccd}$는 시험결과($V_{test}$)를 과대평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 앵커볼트직경($d_0$) 50mm(2")이상, 유효매입깊이($h_{ef}$) 635mm(25")이상의 대형앵커시스템에서 앵커볼트직경 변화시험과 유효매입깊이 변화시험은 앵커시스템의 전단성능에 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 대형 앵커리지시스템의 연단거리와 앵커볼트의 직경에 대한 형상비에 의한 분석결과 형상비가 작아질수록(앵커볼트의 직경이 커질수록) 시험결과에 대한 예측식의 비가 커지는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 앵커볼트의 직경이 전단강도 저하의 직접적인 원인인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 설계기준에 대한 적절한 개선을 위해서는 더 많은 이론적, 해석적 연구가 필요하다.

Machine foundations with impact loads are common powerful sources of industrial vibrations. These foundations are generally transferring vertical dynamic loads to the soil and generate ground vibrations which may harmfully affect the surrounding structures or buildings. Dynamic effects range from severe trouble of working conditions for some sensitive instruments or devices to visible structural damage. This work includes an experimental study on the behavior of dry dense sand under the action of a single impulsive load. The objective of this research is to predict the dry sand response under impact loads. Emphasis will be made on attenuation of waves induced by impact loads through the soil. The research also includes studying the effect of footing embedment, and footing area on the soil behavior and its dynamic response. Different falling masses from different heights were conducted using the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) to provide the single pulse energy. The responses of different soils were evaluated at different locations (vertically below the impact plate and horizontally away from it). These responses include; displacements, velocities, and accelerations that are developed due to the impact acting at top and different depths within the soil using the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) and accelerometers (ARH-500A Waterproof, and Low capacity Acceleration Transducer) that are embedded in the soil in addition to soil pressure gauges. It was concluded that increasing the footing embedment depth results in increase in the amplitude of the force-time history by about 10-30% due to increase in the degree of confinement. This is accompanied by a decrease in the displacement response of the soil by about 40-50% due to increase in the overburden pressure when the embedment depth increased which leads to increasing the stiffness of sandy soil. There is also increase in the natural frequency of the soil-foundation system by about 20-45%. For surface foundation, the foundation is free to oscillate in vertical, horizontal and rocking modes. But, when embedding a footing, the surrounding soil restricts oscillation due to confinement which leads to increasing the natural frequency. Moreover, the soil density increases with depth because of compaction, which makes the soil behave as a solid medium. Increasing the footing embedment depth results in an increase in the damping ratio by about 50-150% due to the increase of soil density as D/B increases, hence the soil tends to behave as a solid medium which activates both viscous and strain damping.
