Tension anchors for structural membranes

Abstract

Several types of tensile loaded foundations for structural membranes ith different materials, geometries, menaufactures, installations, efficiencies and depths er studied. As a aresult, a better understanding of the uplift behaviour and mode of failure have been adquired. Therefore, the pull-out capacity of anchors can be estimated confidently by encompassing the complex relationship between various modes of failure, anchor geometry soil properties.
