Abstract
The results of a laboratory model study investigating the behavior of deeply embedded anchors are presented. The primary purpose of the tests is to study the behavior of the anchor-soil system under long-term loading in saturated, normally consolidated clay.The tests were conducted in soil of two different shearing strengths. For each soil strength, three different long-term load tests were performed. Long-term loads applied were at stress levels equivalent to 25%, 50% and 75% of the short-term (undrained) anchor break-out capacity. Pore pressure responses around the anchor, including the negative pore pressure (suction) beneath the anchor, were monitored using miniature piezometric probes. The test results provided functional relationship between anchor displacement, anchor load and pore pressure responses associated with consolidation process.
