Influence of Suction Force of Plate Anchor Embedded in Kaolinite
Kaolinite에 근입된 앵커에서 흡입력이 미치는 영향
Abstract
Plate anchors are primarily used in the foundation construction of earth-supported and earth-retaining structures. In order to estimate uplift capacity as well as suction force of clay, model tests were peformed with respect to various embedment depths and two different moisture contents in the prepared saturated kaolinite. Further, suction effects on the ultimate uplift capacity, at the various embedment depths of anchor, were also taken into account. Test results show that ultimate uplift capacity including suction force increases from 4.2kg at H/D=1 upto 11.6kg at H/D=5 in K1 and from 2.3kg at H/D=1 upto 7.3kg at H/D=5 in K2 respectively. The ratio of
