Methodology to Calculate the Anchor Reverse Catenary Line
摘要
The anchor line is widely used for mooring the drag anchors and plate anchors. Due to the normal resistance and friction offered by the soil, the part of anchor line embedded in the soil will form a profile with reverse catenary from the mudline to the attachment point as illustrated in Chapter 11, Fig. 11.1. The Chapter 11, Fig. 11.1 shows the anchor line configuration connected to a plate anchor. It can be applied to other types of anchors such as drag anchor, anchor pile as well as suction caisson.
