1 SOIL ANCHORS ETSAB/UPC PASSIVE ANCHORS - ANTECEDENTS Antecedents of passive anchors can be found in Nature. Roots feed plants and provide uplift resistance against the wind involving a volume of soil. 1 2 SOIL ANCHORS ignasi.llorens@upc.edu ETSAB/UPC PASSIVE ANCHORS - ANTECEDENTS Definition: Soil anchors are foundations for tensile forces, generally employed to resist uplift. Antecedents and applications: roots, marine anchors, tents, engineering, bridges, textile roofs, lightweight structures, pneumatic structures, mobile homes, building, foundations, retaining walls, load tests, cranes, antennas, poles, transmission tower foundations, pipelines, equipment, militar, agricultural, cattle, etc. Typology: active, passive, shallow, deep Behaviour: mechanisms, type of anchor, soil, load, installation. Uplift evaluation: plate, shaf, earth pressure, combination, stakes, plates, empirical methods. Installation: excavation, fill, compaction and pre-loading.

8 PASSIVE ANCHORS - APPLICATIONS SOIL ANCHORS: ACTIVE OR PASSIVE Active anchors are submitted to permanent pre-stressing. They have a cap and a tendon fixed to the ground with mortar. The soil is precompressed between the cap and the fixed length. When the external load is applied, the soil relaxes and the movements are kept to acceptable levels. Passive anchors are not submitted to permanent pre-stressing. They act against the soil when loaded. If unloaded, both, the anchor and the soil, remain at rest. They move more than active anchors, but they are simpler and entail fewer problems of relaxation and durability E PASSIVE ANCHORS - APPLICATIONS SOIL ANCHORS: ACTIVE OR PASSIVE In active anchors, the external load is supported mainly by the decompression of the soil. The anchor takes much less load and the displacement is kept to a minimum. In passive anchors, the whole external load goes to the anchor and the displacement that occurs is greater

9 ACTIVE (PRE-STRESSED) ANCHORS PASSIVE ANCHORS TIPOLOGY MAIN CHARACTERISTICS Active anchors are pre-stressed by initially tensioning them against a steel bearing plate. The level of prestress is a percentage of the designworking load. When the pre-stressed anchor is externally loaded, it behaves as a much stiffer member than a dead anchor would. Production process - prefabricated - built on site Installation process - static - dynamic - driving - drilling - vibrating - blasting - boring - compacting Orientation - vertical - inclined - horizontal Material - wood - concrete - steel - other materials Roughness - smooth - rough Deployment device - fixed (no mechanism) - by rotation - by expansion Transmission joint - fixed - hinged Depth - shallow - deep Load - instantaneous - permanent - repeated - co-axial - oblique - perpendicular - eccentric Soil - granular - cohesive (frictionless) - transitional " " #" " $ "

28 PASSIVE ANCHORS UPLIFT EVALUATION UPLIFT EVALUATION: PLATE EFFECT Uplift is dependent on: Anchor type: - shape - width - depth - weight - inclination - roughness - position. Soil conditions: - type - density - cohesion - adherence - friction - stiffness - moisture - groundwater table position - initial stress state (preconsolidation). Loading mode: - rate - repetition - duration - direction - amount. Installation process: - vibrated - driven - bored - grouted - drilled. Basic approaches to the evaluation of the plate effect: - cone method - parabolic failure surface - earth pressure method PASSIVE ANCHORS UPLIFT EVALUATION UPLIFT EVALUATION: PLATE EFFECT ULTIMATE LOAD (G.G.Meyerhof & J.I.Adams, 1968) Uplift is evaluated computing the contributions of the four mechanisms involved: - plate - shaft - self weight - earth pressure For each type of anchor, the effects to be computed are indicated. Examples: Logs and tubes? plate effect Dead men? plate + shaft + self weight effects 56 Strip Circular Square Rectangular Shallow (D < D c ) Deep (D D c ) B: width or diameter; L: length; c: cohesion; D: depth; D c : critical depth; F : angel of friction of soil;?: unit weight; K u : earth pressure coefficient; W: weight of soil; W p : weight of anchor. 58

32 EMPIRICAL METHODS (IFAI, 2006) EMPIRICAL METHODS (IFAI, 2006) Estimation of the pullout capacity of tent stakes based on the baseline stake: - stake diameter: 0,1 - the side of the stake is smooth - the steel stake is driven vertically - the stake is embedded 36 inches in the ground - the load is fastened at 2 inches above the ground surface - the load is pulled at 45º angle. The pullout capacity for a stake that is different from the baseline case can be estimated as the baseline capacity multiplied by adjusting factors as follows: P P b x C e x C f x C i x C l x C d < lbs P: pullout capacity for a single stake; P b : pullout capacity for the baseline case; C e : correction factor for embedment depth; C f : correction factor for fastening height; C i : correction factor for stake inclination; C l : correction factor for load angle; C d : correction factor for stake diameter. Consistency Field identification Pullout Soil resistance Stake penetration capacity resistance (1) (lbs) Hard (very dense) Very stiff (dense) Stiff (medium dense) Medium Soft (loose) Very soft (very loose) (1) inches per blow Pullout capacity for baseline case Indented with difficulty by thumbnail Less than 0, Readily indented by thumbnail 0,2 0, Readily indented by thumb but penetrated only with great effort 0,5 1,5 800 Can be penetrated several inches by thumb with moderate effort 1, Easily penetrated several inches by thumb Easily penetrated several inches by thumb Greater than ( +-./ + ( E(>(

40 PASSIVE ANCHORS SELECTION: DEEP PASSIVE ANCHORS CONCLUSIONS To anchor lightweight structures it is not necessary to use heavy foundations because lightweight recoverable anchors can be used instead. They replace the contribution of the self weight involving the soil whose contributions are the lateral earth pressure, friction and weight. Several types are available according to whether they reach the surface or remain buried. Differences relate to material, shape, installation process, efficiency, depth and ultimate uplift capacity that can be roughly estimated. Installation procedures include driving or boring. More research is needed to analyse and check every aspect that influences the behaviour of every type of anchor. A standard uplift test would help on using and comparing the results. An international data base of test results would be greatly appreciated *?(0)"! A 8 4 %
