Session: Laboratory Testing

ABSTRACT: In this study, the uplift behavior of plate anchors embedded in sand was investigated with a series of small scale laboratory pull-out tests. Model tests were performed in a test box with square and rectangular anchor plates. The effects of embedment and aspect ratio of anchor plates, and relative density of sand on uplift behaviour of plate anchors were investigated. Based on the test results, it can be concluded that the embedment and aspect ratio of anchor plates and relative density of sand are main parameters that affect the uplift capacity of anchor plates. Key words: aspect ratio, rectangular anchors, uplift capacity, sand.
