Numerical investigation: Undrained capacity of a hybrid anchor under VHMT combined loading in clay

Key Points

• Undrained capacity increases with effective stress, indicating stronger performance under combined loading conditions.
• The hybrid anchor showed significant resilience under VHMT conditions, with a capacity variation of up to 20% in specific scenarios.
• Numerical modeling techniques were utilized to simulate the hybrid anchor's response under VHMT loading in clay environments.
• Findings may support improved design strategies for anchoring systems in clay soils, enhancing stability under dynamic loads.
