Research on ground anchors in non-cohesive soils
Etude de tirants scellés dans des sols pulvérulents
Institute of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, Technical University, Munich/Fed. Rep. Germany, Germany
Full scale field tests on anchors have been performed in one and the same gravelly sand compacted to various densities. During the pullout tests the distribution of skin friction along the fixed anchor length was determined from strain gauge measurements. The results of 5 series of tests comprising 30 anchors complement a previously published design chart and give an additional correlation between carrying capacity of anchors and number of blows of penetration tests. The variation of skin friction along fixed anchor length with increasing load or with load kept constant over a longer period of time, helps to explain the influence of soil density and fixed anchor length on the carrying capacity and longterm behaviour of anchors.
Résumé
Des essais d’ancrages en vraie grandeur sur chantier ont été effectués dans des massifs de sables graveleux compactés à différentes densités. Des jauges de déformation collées sur des barreaux d'acier donnent la distribution des contraintes dans la zone fixe d’ancrage. Ces dernières augmentent progressivement avec la force appliquée en tête d'ancrage jusqu'à la rupture. Afin d'estimer par des essais standards in situ, l'influence du type et de la densité du sol sur la capacité portante du tirant d'ancrage, on a presenté le rapport entre la charge critique et le nombre de corps d'essais de pénétration (marteau de 50 kg).
