EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON BEHAVIOUR OF PLATE ANCHORS IN COHESIONLESS SOIL

Suganya A, Dr. P. D. Arumairaj

Abstract :

 Soil anchors are commonly adopted as foundation system for structures that require uplift or lateral resistance. For different civil engineering structures like retaining wall, transmission towers etc. anchors are extensively used. Different types of anchors are being employed in the field depending on the magnitude and type of loading, type of structure, importance of the structure and subsoil condition. Horizontal plate anchors are widely used in civil engineering constructions to resist vertical pulling loads. In this paper the uplift behavior of plate anchors with and without geogrid reinforcement has been investigated with the help of laboratory model tests. From the test results it is observed that the geogrid reinforcement system enhances the uplift response substantially in loose, medium and dense sand conditions.
