With the help of experimental results, this paper first describes the behaviour of embedded mooring chains connected to a buried anchor point. The tests were carried out on three different sizes of chain in two clays with different undrained shear strengths. Subsequently, the effect of changing the effective chain widths (for calculating soil resistances) on the chain forces at the anchor point has been discussed with certain anal~tical results. The studies are believed to be useful to the practicing engineers.

“…Dimensionless parameters had been derived from the tests and can be further used in the calculation of the soil resistance force. Degenkamp and Dutta (1989) employed an incremental-integration method to calculate the line tension at the anchor point and predicted the line profile inside the soil. The line was divided into two parts: the embedded chain and the suspended component.…”

“…In some parts of the world a steel wire is used instead of a linked chain. Assuming E n ¼ 2·5 (Degenkamp & Dutta, 1989) and N c ¼ 7·6 (a historical figure (Neubecker & Randolph, 1995), although more commonly taken as around 10), the group E n dN c =B may be expected to lie in the range 0·3-0·9. Here a base case value of 0·5 is adopted.…”

Analytical solution for ultimate embedment depth and potential holding capacity of plate anchors

This paper proposes an analytical approach to evaluate the ultimate embedment depth and holding capacity that plate anchors can potentially achieve. Based on a plasticity model for anchor-soil interaction and compatible chain solution, detailed derivations are presented that allow the main dimensionless groups of input parameters to be identified. For typical cases where the weight of the anchor is negligible relative to its holding capacity, explicit expressions are provided in non-dimensional form for ultimate embedment and anchor capacity. A thorough parametric sensitivity study highlights the major factors affecting these quantities. Two practical examples are considered that demonstrate the proposed analytical approach for different types of anchors, in one case revealing significant scope for improved design of plate anchors in order to optimise performance.
