Soil and Rock Anchors for Mobile Homes - A State-of-the-Art Report

摘要

Available anchor hardware is surveyed and evaluated and pull-out capacity data are compared with hypotheses for predicting anchor pull-out capacity based on soil mechanics principles. The evidence suggests that our ability to predict anchor pull-out capacity by soil mechanics principles is inadequate, and that there is a need for the standardization of test procedures and soil classification and for further test data. Suggestions for future research are presented.
