Influence of Clay Layering Properties on the Embedment Loss of Suction Embedded Plate Anchors
seabed soils often exhibit layering phenomena. The distribution of homogeneous soil and normally consolidated soils in seabed soils is referred to as soil layering properties. Based on the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method
a large deformation finite element model was established to analyze the rotational adjustment process of the suction embedded plate anchors (SEPLA) under different soil layering properties. The validity of the model was verified through comparison with centrifuge tests and numerical simulations. The embedment loss of plate anchors under different clay layering properties was investigated by using double-layered clay as an example. The index
s

was defined to measure the clay layering properties
and the influence of the distance d from the mooring point to the soil layer interface on embedment loss of plate anchors was examined under different

values. The results showed that in double-layered clay with

as d increased
the embedment loss of the plate anchors gradually decreased. When

the embedment loss was only affected by the strength of the upper and lower soil layers
respectively. In double-layered clay with
