Abstract
In the present investigation, a series of finite element analysis has been carried out on anchor with tie embedded in sand by using the finite element-based software “ABAQUS.” Bell-shaped anchor with bell diameter 0.125 m has been used in the present paper for analysis purpose. Results are obtained from the numerical analysis, and it is found that with introduction of geotextile tie to the anchor the ultimate uplift capacity increases. From the analysis results, it is also observed that the optimum values of length of geotextile tie-to-anchor bell diameter ratio (Lg/D) is 3.0 within the range of embedment depth-to-bell diameter ratio (H/D) of anchor 1–3. However, for H/D = 0.5, the optimum value of Lg/D is 4.0. The frictional efficiency as well as angle of internal friction does not have much influence on optimum value of Lg/D ratio.
