Abstract

Plate anchors are often used for various types of offshore construction and maintenance works. When the plates are embedded in soft clay and subjected to sustanined allowable loads, creep may develop. This paper presents some results from laboratory model test designed to study the creep effect that develops with time for a shallow circular anchor subjected to sustained net loads that are less than the net ultimate uplift capacity. Based on the model test results, relationships among the net load, the rate of strain, and time are developed.

판앵커들은 각종 해양공사와 해양구조물의 유지관리작업에 빈번히 사용되고 있다. 판앵커가 연약한 점토에 근입되었을 때 지속적인 허용하중을 받게 되면 Creep현상이 발생될 수도 있다. 본 논문은 얕은 원형앵커가 순극한 상향인발력보다 작은 순하중을 지속적으로 받았을 때 시간이 경과함에 따라 발생되는 크리프효과를 연구한 실내모델실험 결과를 기술하였다. 실내모델시험 결과를 바탕으로 순하중과 상향변위율 및 경과시간사이의 상관관계식을 제시하였다.
