Definitions
- the anchor consists of a central pile (1).
- the anchor consists of a central pile (1).
- the pile there are pair of "hinged" wings (3) equiangulary spaced.
- These wings are sections of tubes with inner diameter equal to the outer diameter ofthe main tube, so that when folded together, they are encapsulating the main tube.
- the wings are hinged at the top end.
- Figure Al, A2 and A 3 shows a system where the anchor plate moves on the pile between two fixed positions, bottom stopper (5) and top stopper (4), so that the wires (6) connected between the anchor plate (2), the wings (3) and the pile (1), pulls the wings(3) out into horizontal position when the anchor plate (2) has moved to its upper position on the pile.
- the system is installed by a hammer (9) (electric, hydraulic or hydrostatic operated).
- the anchor line is terminated to the anchor line termination points (8) on the anchor plate (2), which together with the pile(l) and the wings(3) will form a massive steel - sediment plug.
- the anchor plate(2) has skirt(l 1) and a suction throttle valve(12) (hatch) which are open during penetration, and are closed automatically when the pile has reached full penetration, enabling this anchor plate(2) to increase the suction created by pulling in the anchor line.
- This suction and sealing ofthe top sediments which mostly are very soft, is a key element in the current invention.
- the lineforce is acting through the anchor plate(2), which again is pulling in the central pile(l).
- the wings(3) are connected to the wires(6) which again is terminated to the tube head(13) and to the anchor plate(2) (system A) and the termination ring(7) (system B). It all ends up to become a massive steel and sediment bolt.
- the expanding anchor can be designed so that the static forces can be taken by the sediment rupture friction forces, while the dynamic loading can be taken by the suction rupture force.
- the expanding anchor When installed, the expanding anchor will tend to reorientate towards the line direction.
- the horizontal component ofthe line force will try to turn the anchor.
- the elasticity in the anchor design (wires, wings, tube) combined with local flow in the sediment, will make the anchor turn towards the anchor line direction, until equilibrium is settled.
- the horizontal capacity ofthe anchor is given by the skirt(l 1) of the anchor plate, the stiffness ofthe pile(l), wires(6) and wings(3).
- the pile(l) will start turning and mobilising an increasing horizontal capacity. This is given by contribution from the anchor plate(2), which will be forced down into the sediments, as well as resistance against turning from the wings(3).
- the wires connected to the wings are terminated in one end to the anchor plate (system A) and the termination ring(7) (system B), and in the other to the tube head(13).
- the movement ofthe pile will be a combination of horizontal and vertical displacement, until the anchore has mobilised enough of its potential holding capacity.
- the anchor is retreavable.
- Anchor design optimisation will be done based on exact geotechnical input, together with line tension and line angle. Pile length, pile diameter and wing length, together with steel cross section thickness in individual components will be chosen in order to achieve the specified holding capacity at lowest possible system weight.
- the expanding pile anchor will be a light weight anchor alternative, capable of mobilising large holding capacities.
