THE EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON HOLDING CAPACITY OF UNDERWATER EMBEDMENT CONCRETE ANCHORS

Based on the overview of existing methods for holding capacity of embedment concrete anchor and massive physical model experiment, the corresponding factors, including soil type, embedding depth, drag angle etc. are studied in quantity with the orthogonal experimental design theory. A more reasonable formula is recommended here, which was validated by some existing examples and applied in some military project successfully. The formula can be applied in the design of non-temporary floating facility such as floating pier and single point mooring system.
