Small-Anchor Tests To Predict Full-Scale Holding Power

Abstract

Tbis paper presents a practical, for predicting the boiding power M. W. COLE, JR. R. W. BECK M13413ER AIME low-cost method oi converitiord drilling vessel anchors~om results of tests conducted with smaller anchors prior to moving the rig on location. The procedure, equipment, method for extrapolating small anchor data to drilIing vessel-size anchors, and reszdts of recent tests are discussed Altbougb the method was developed from tests conducted in mud, clay and sand usirig Ligbtweigbt-Type (L WT) anchors, it should be applicable for use with any type of anchor.

Interaction of Anchors with Soil and Anchor Design

“…-Places pile in deeper-stronger soil -Used for offshore moorings when drillship is available for drilling and grouting -Load at pile can be reduced significantly, by mooring line resistance (see drag anchor section) -In sand, pile anchors buried few ft to allow for scour.

OTEC single anchor holding capacities in typical deep sea sediments / P. J. Valent ... [et al.]

“…(1) where R = holding capacity (N) W = weight (N) The exponent ".75" was recommended by Cole and Beck, 1969. The extremely high efficiencies in the small sizes is attributed to the thin, high strength sections used in the anchor. Without modifying the design by adding stiffeners on the flukes, the practical limit of this design, maintaining geometric similarity, is probably much less than 45 Mg (100,000 lbs).…”

Expressions of Colour-Blind Racism Within All-White and Mixed-Race Jury Deliberations

“…Interestingly, comparisons between countries were only mentioned within mixed-race juries. Discussions of distances from the United States took the form of both implicit and explicit arguments that Canada is "not as bad as the United States", ultimately reflecting Canadian national narratives that are re-enforced by the state and typically, by White Canadians (Cole, 2022). One example was displayed on Jury B2 (a mixed-race jury that was shown a Black defendant) during a discussion about the levels of enforcement that police officers can escalate a situation and how police officers are supposed to match the amount of force towards them in which Juror 4 (identified as White) said, "So if you've got someone that's punchy-punchy, you don't pull your gun.…”
