Opis

Structures like buried pipelines, transmission towers and earth structures subjected to considerable vertical or horizontal pullout forces are usually supported by anchors. The anchors are helical or plate systems which require excavation and grout in their applications. During the last fifty years, many researchers focused on pullout capacity of anchors. The aim of this book is to obtain breakout factor and ultimate pullout capacity load of Soil Hook System (SHS) and compares it with previous finding by different researchers. SHS is a new anchor system base on the state of the art of plate anchors that does not require grout and excavation in their applications. It was found that the pullout load capacity and breakout of SHS was similar to the works done by the previous researchers in plate anchors. This book has solved the problem of the installation of anchors into sand with SHS without the need to grout or excavate.
