Pullout Resistance of Skirt Suction Anchor in Sandy Soils

摘要

This study demonstrates the effect of the rate of applied loads on thepullout resistance and the generated suction pressure of anchor in termsof a laboratory model and field tests in sandy soils. Both tests clearlyshowed the pullout resistance tends to increase with increasing ofpullout velocity even in small displacement. The test results have beencompared with finite element analysis with soil–fluid interaction. It wasconfirmed that the analysis results, such as pullout resistance, generatedsuction pressure, and distribution of suction pressure, qualitativelyagree with test results of this paper.
