چکیده
Foundations of structures such as transmission towers, chimneys, and wind turbines are often subjected to substantial uplift loads, for which plate anchors are commonly used. Under heavy loading or in weak soils, excessive deformation and shear failure can reduce anchor performance. Geocell reinforcement has therefore attracted increasing interest as an effective three-dimensional soil-reinforcement technique. In this numerical study, the three-dimensional behavior of a geocell-reinforced plate anchor system was investigated using finite element modeling in ABAQUS. A benchmark case from the literature was first simulated to assess the capability of the numerical model, and the numerical results were compared with the available reference data. The validated model was then extended to investigate the uplift behavior of plate anchors reinforced with geocells. Comprehensive parametric analyses were conducted to evaluate the effects of anchor width and embedment depth, as well as geocell embedment depth, pocket size, width, and height. The influence of the relative position of the geocell and anchor plate was also examined to clarify its role in load transfer and soil confinement. The results showed that placing the geocell in direct contact with the anchor plate increased the uplift capacity by approximately 1.9 times compared with the unreinforced condition. Reducing the geocell pocket size increased the BCR from approximately 1.27 to 1.90, demonstrating the beneficial effect of smaller pockets. Increasing the geocell height from Hg/Ba = 1 to 2 increased the BCR from approximately 1.9 to 2.77. Moreover, an optimum geocell-to-anchor width ratio of approximately Bg/Ba = 2 was identified, beyond which further widening resulted in only marginal improvement. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of geocell reinforcement in enhancing plate anchor uplift resistance and provide practical insight into the selection of geocell geometry and placement.
