PLATE ANCHOR BEHAVIOUR UNDER LONG TERM LOADING ---INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON RHEOLOGY AND SOIL MECHANICS, 12-16 SEPTEMBER 1988, COVENTRY, UK

The paper presents the results of a series of model tests on plate anchors in normally consolidated kaolin, and subjected to long term static and cyclic loading. The tests showed that while there was an increase in anchor capacity from the 'undrained' to the 'drained' states, with further increases in test time to failure a small reduction in capacity was observed. The anchors when subjected to a sustained load were observed to creep with significant movements at loads above about 60% of the ultimate capacity. Under cyclic loading there were additional displacements associated with pore pressure changes.(a) for the covering abstract of this conference see IRRD 818664.
