Set-Up Effect
摘要
The soil in the vicinity of the anchor will be disturbed during installation. The shear strength of the soil in the vicinity of the anchor will gradually increase with time due to the combination of thixotropy and consolidation after the installation. Hence, the capacity of the drag anchor and plate anchor will increase with time. The increase in the anchor holding capacity depends on anchor characteristics, the soil properties and time after the installation. For drag anchors and drag-in plate anchors, the soil being remoulded during the penetration path may not affect the anchor holding capacity.
