Abstract

SOMMAIRE Des essais d'ancrages en vraie grandeur sur chantier ont été effectués dans des massifs de sables graveleux compactés à différentes densités. Des jauges de déformation collées sur des bar-reaux d'acier donnent la distribution' des contrain-tes dans la zone fixe d'ancrage. Ces dernières augmentent progressivement avec la force appli-quée en tête d'ancrage jusqu'à la rupture. Afin d'e.stimer par ,des essais standards in situ, l'in-'fluence du type et de la densité du sol sur la capacité portante du tirant d'ancrage, on a pré-senté le rapport entre la charge critique et le nombre de corps d'essais de pénétration (marteau de 50 kg). SUMMARY Full scale field tests on a'nchors have been performed in one and the sa me gravelly sand compacted to various densities. During the pull-out tests the distribution of skin friction along the fixed anchor length was determined from strain gauge measurements. The results of 5 series of tests comprising 30 anchors complement a previously published design chart and give an additional correlation between carrying capacity of anchors and number of blows of penetration tests. The variation of skin friction along fixed anchor length with increasing load or with load kept constant over a longer period of time, helps to explain the influence of soil density and fixed anchor length on the carrying éapacity and longterm behaviour of anchors.
