Abstract:To predict the bearing capacity of plate anchors subjected to combined loads, based on the assumption that there is no separation between the plate and soil, the numerical model of the motion and transformation of the plate anchor subjected to combined loads including the normal force, tangential force and bending moment loads in ABAQUS software is set up. The numerical model is proved by comparing the calculated bearing capacity with that of analytical solution. The numerical model is used to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of the plate anchor subjected to the combined loads including the normal force, the tangential force and bending moment. The results show that murff model is used to preferably fit the ultimate bearing capacity envelope of plate anchors subjected to combined loads.
