SOIL ANCHORS MODELED BY AN EMBEDDED FORMULATION ALLOWING SLIP

A finite element formulation, which incorporates anchors by the embedded approach, is shown. Hence the anchor can be formulated independently of the mesh nodes. Slip between the anchor and the soil is accounted for at the material level. The capability of this approach is shown in case studies. Further a constitutive model for concrete is briefly presented, which is able to account for cracking, crushing, creep and shrinkage. This concrete model in combination with the embedded reinforcement is able to simulate a realistic behavior of reinforced concrete. A diaphragm wall with three anchor layers is investigated in a case study. The results employing advanced constitutive relation for concrete are compared to those employing linear elastic material for concrete.
