Nowadays, humans have thought of creating structures and platforms onshore and offshore to provide energy. Until now, various anchors with different shapes have been introduced for strength and stability of platforms, for offshore and onshore applications. In this research, a new type of expendable multi-plate anchors is proposed with the ability to expand the plates in the soil with lower energy. As these anchors are recently introduced, their bearing capacity has not been extensively evaluated. In this research, the behavior of these anchors was investigated experimentally. The evaluated parameters are soil compaction and distance between plates on the maximum pull-out capacity of them. Firstly the performance of single plate anchors was compared with the double plate anchors with equivalent areas then the effect of above mentioned parameters was determined for double plate anchors Based on the experimental results, single-plate shows higher bearing capacity in high soil compaction, but in low soil compaction, the bearing capacity of the double plate capacity is increased. The effect of the distance between the plates on the final bearing capacity has been far greater than the effect of the change in soil density. Also, 4 different soil compaction and distance between two plates for a double plate were investigated. Overall the effects of distance between two plates have more impact on bearing capacity in comparison to soil compaction.

The purpose of this study is to find a method for obtaining all soil dynamic parameters numerically. Moreover, it is intended to predict the dynamic parameters after each impact, and to obtain the predicted compaction as well as the desired dynamic parameters after a certain number of impacts. In the study, four hammers with different dimensions are modeled on sandy soil using ABAQUS. Additionally, the activated wave stiffness test is used to extract the dynamic parameters of each hammer for loose sand, and it is shown that which hammer under what conditions yields the highest efficiency. The peak particle velocity is obtained using the finite element technique for each hammer, and the results are used to determine the safe distance after each blow. The results indicate that the unsafe distance of compactor from the location of impact increases with the weight of the compactor. In the study, a hammer with a mass of 875 kg, falling through a distance of 1 m. horizontal safe distance of 3.80 m, and a vertical safe distance of 2.30 m is designed to deliver five blows to achieve the maximum stiffness with an improved depth under the foundation from 0.9 to 1.2 m in a loose soil and a relative error of 5% is obtained. The improvement depth obtained numerically is in good agreement with the experimental results of centrifuge tests at accelerations of 1, 10, 20, and 30 g as well as the field results of Parvizi and Merrifield, Allen, Maxwell and Briaud.
