摘要:This paper reports the results from a large deformation finite element (LDFE) model to provide insights into the vertical pullout behaviors of torpedo anchors in stiff-over-soft soil beds. 10 sets of numerical data were obtained by varying the top layer thickness, soil shear strength of the stiff-over-soft soil bed, tip embedment depth ratio, and pullout speed. The tip embedment depth ratio of the torpedo anchor (the ratio of the embedment depth at anchor tip to the anchor shaft length) varied from 1.48 to 2.91. Soil flow characteristic was discovered by the finite element analysis. The observation of soil flow characteristics provided deep insight with the interaction between the torpedo anchor and its surrounding soil.
