Guide to the Use of Propellant-Embedded Anchors in Coral and Rock Seafloors. (Supplement)

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA120025 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This handbook-style report has been prepared to assist the engineer with limited propellant-embedded anchoring experience in estimating holding capacity of this type of anchor in coral and rock seafloors. Site survey requirements are discussed with regard to coral and rock types and sediment cover and their affect on holding capacity. An equation is provided for estimating holding capacity in coral. Limited general guidance is provided for estimating holding capacity in rock.
