Study of a New Type of Large-Diameter Multi-Disc Soil Anchor and Its Bearing Characteristics and Creep Property by Jiawei Wang, Hongbing Xia, Jing Hua

“…The creep rate of the large-diameter multi-plate soil anchor bolt is 0.91 mm, and the creep rate of the equal-diameter soil anchor bolt is 1.69 mm. By fitting the data, it is found that the large-diameter multi-disc soil anchor provides a method to increase the anchorage force of the soil anchor, and the research on its bearing characteristics and creep property provides a theoretical basis for the application of the soil anchor.…”
