DRIVEN-PLATE ANCHOR DESIGN. NFESC has found that various
5-3
types of plate anchors are an efficient and cost effective method of providing permanent
moorings. Detailed design procedures for these anchors are given in NFESC TR-2039-
OCN, Design Guide for Pile-Driven Plate Anchors. Additional information is given in
NCEL Handbook for Marine Geotechnical Engineering. An overview of plate anchor
design is given here.
A driven-plate anchor consists of the components shown in Figure 5-3 and discussed in
Table 5-5.
