Anti-sliding stability calculation of gravity anchor subjected to combined loading
The anti-sliding capacity is an important problem.Therefore,the model tests are used to study the mechanism of anti-sliding stability of gravity anchor under the combined loading in the sea.The results of tests show that,when a gravity anchor is used as a temporary anchorage foundation of a ship,the sliding of a gravity anchor is determined by its displacements.Based on the sliding mechanism,the slice method is proposed to analyze the anti-sliding stability of the gravity anchor.The lateral bearing capacity is calculated and compared to that obtained by the method often used and the results show that it increases about 17% which is more close to the results of model tests.
