Procedure 



Determine t , from the soil 

 permeability. 



For the assumed sea conditions, 

 determine the number of loading 

 cycles during t , found from the 

 soils permeability. Enter the 

 figure below to find the loading 

 bounds as a function of soil 

 type. This table can also be 

 used directly to find the 

 limiting number of cycles for 

 a given loading.

Cyclic Creep During Cyclic 

 Loading 



- Poorly understood phenomena 

 that does occur in the 

 laboratory. 



- Number and magnitude of 

 significant loading cycles 

 occuring during the life of 



an anchor control cyclic creep. 



- For cases where static load 

 exceeds 20% static capacity, 

 add portion above 20% to cyclic 

 component and proceed.
