This paper describes recent advances in stability analysis that combine the limit theorems of
classical plasticity with finite elements to give rigorous upper and lower bounds on the …

Square plate anchors are increasingly used to provide uplift bearing capacity for both
onshore and offshore infrastructures. Past research on the behavior of plate anchors mostly …

Helical piles are one promising foundation option in offshore industries to support wind
turbines and floating structures. During service, the helical piles are subjected to combined …

Following the popularity of the previous edition, Shallow Foundations: Bearing Capacity and
Settlement, Third Edition, covers all the latest developments and approaches to shallow …

This paper presents new numerical evaluations of the vertical uplift resistance of rectangular
anchors located in heterogeneous and anisotropic clays obeying the Anisotropic Undrained …

Helical anchors are emerging as an innovative foundation design option for offshore
applications to resist uplift loading. Numerous studies have been conducted to investigate …

Anchors are primarily used in the construction of foundations of earth-supported and earth-
retaining structures. The fundamental reason for using earth anchors in construction is to …

Abstract Design practice in offshore geotechnical engineering grew out of onshore practice,
but the two application areas have tended to diverge over the last 30 years, driven partly by …

Three-dimensional large deformation finite-element (FE) analyses were performed to
investigate plate anchor capacity during vertical pullout. The remeshing and interpolation …

The bound theorems of plasticity have proved a powerful tool in establishing design
methods for the collapse of shallow foundations, buried anchor plates and other …
