ULTIMATE RESISTANCE OF VERTICAL ANCHORS IN CLAY. PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOIL MECHANICS AND FOUNDATION ENGINEERING, SAN FRANCISCO, 12-16 AUGUST 1985

Laboratory model test results for the ultimate pullout resistance of rectangular vertical anchor plates in clay have been presented. The width-to-height ratio of the model plates has been varied from one to five. The ultimate resistance of an anchor can be expressed in the form of a nondimensional breakout factor. The experimental results show that for shallow rectangular anchors, the variation of the breakout factor with embedment ratio can be represented by a single nondimensional relationship. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 287689. (Author/TRRL)
