Abstract
To avoid waste from a large section space structure layout and deep burial, improve the structural strength and stability. Anchor technology is introduced, and combined with the advantages of the supporting wall, a new debris-flow grille dam is proposed. Starting from the force process and damage mechanism of the new debris-flow grille dam, the computation formula for the anti-pulling force and the total displacement is given. The anti-pulling force includes the sidewall frictional resistance of the anchor pier and the positive pressure of the front end face of the anchor pier. The total displacement includes three parts: the elastic deformation of the cable, the relative shear displacement between the anchor pier and the surrounding soil, and the compression deformation of the soil at the front of the anchor pier. Finally, the influence of soil parameters and anchor pier size on the anti-pulling force and displacement deformation of the anchor-pulling system is analyzed by examples, and the results are compared with the numerical results. The results show that the displacement deformation decreases gradually with increasing elastic modulus of the soil around the anchor pier and increases with increasing Poisson's ratio. The change in elastic modulus mainly affects the relative shear displacement of the anchor pier and soil and the compressive deformation of the soil at the front end of the anchor pier. Poisson's ratio has the greatest influence on the relative shear displacement of the anchor pier and soil. A larger anchor pier is not better; thus, it is wise to choose the economic design dimension. Theoretical and numerical simulation results are consistent, showing a linear growth trend. The results of this paper can further improve the theoretical calculation method of the new debris-flow grille dam, thus making it widely used in more debris flow control projects.

Introduction
The anchoring technique or anchor method, the general designation of design and construction technology. It refers to the skill that one end of the tension component is fixed to the rock and soil body and the other is linked with engineering structures. To with stand the thrust or the uplift force originated from the earth pressure, water pressure or other external force applied to the structure using the internal resistance of rock and soil body can be utilizedScope of application According to the experience of disaster site research and the success or failure of existing control structure24, the new debris-flow grille dam is mainly suitable for controlling middle- and small-scale debris flows. It is also suitable if there are fewer large stones and large floating rocks in the material source or if the channel fall is relatively low and flat. It can be used as a single structure in controlling debris flows or combined with other structures in the comprehensive control of the whole basin.
Calculation model of the anti-pulling force for the anchor-pulling system
The failure mechanism of anchor-pulling system
Mechanical composition
When the new grille dam is under the pressure of debris flow, pressure of debris flow deposits, hydrodynamic pressure and impact force of crossing the dam debris flows. The force on the dam body is transmitted to the stayed cable through the grille columns and beam nodes and then to the anchor piers in the deep stable region, eventually realizing the requirements of the safety and stability of the dam body and putting the structure under reasonable load. The anti-pulling force of the anchor-pulling system is comprised of two parts, the frictional resistance between the lateral walls of the anchor piers and the soil body as well as the positive pressure on the front of the anchor piers, which belongs to the frictional-end pressure anchor-pulling system.
Failure modes
Turkyilmazoglu M devoted to derive an analytical solution to the air blast response of dynamic compaction process of a sandwich composite containing a deformable front face and a cellular core. Shock wave model in association with the mass conservation and Newton’s second law are employed to solve the problem. Both the weak fluid–structure interactions (FSI) such as those that are thought to occur due to air blast loading and the non-FSI cases are discussed and the results are compared with those available in the literature25. The failure of the anchor-pulling system mainly takes three forms: the failure of the stayed cable, the failure of the connection with anchor heads and anchor piers, and the failure of the soil body around the anchor piers.
The failure of the stayed cable: the anchor piers deeply buried in the stable region can provide a huge anchoring force. The strength of the stayed cable becomes a weak link that the steel strand may be fractured and reinforcement yielding may occur under the great impact of debris flows.
The failure of connections with anchor heads and anchor piers: theoretically, when the strength of the stayed cable is great enough, the connections between the stayed cable and anchor heads related to the grille beam nodes or the connections between the stayed cable and anchor piers become the weakest link. If there are construction quality problems on the joint or the connection is impacted by large stones in the debris flows, the stayed cable will be pulled out of anchor piers or grille beam nodes, resulting in the failure of connections.
The failure of the soil body around the anchor piers: When the strength of the stayed cable is great enough and the connections between the stayed cable and anchor piers or grille beam nodes are reliable enough, the failure of the soil body around the anchor piers will take place.
Among the three forms mentioned above, the first two forms can easily be prevented by selecting reasonable structural material parameters and setting a variety of structural measures. This paper only discusses the third failure of the soil body around anchor piers. Now, we take an equivalent anchor-pulling system as the object to discuss. The failure of the soil body around the anchor piers may be classified into 4 phases.
The first phase: The phase of earth pressure at rest. As shown in Fig. 2. In the figure, \({q}_{d}\) is the positive pressure strength of soil acting on the front face of anchor pier; \(\tau \) is the shear stress on the surface of the equivalent anchor pier. When the external load on the stayed cable is relatively small, the lateral walls of the anchor piers bear frictional resistance, while the front of them bear earth pressure at rest. In this phase, the displacement of the anchor-pulling system is small, and the force–deformation properties of the system are determined by the distortion of the stayed cable.
The second phase: The phase of transition. After the frictional resistance of the lateral walls of the anchor piers peaked, if the external tension on the stayed cable continued to grow, the anchor piers began to move forward, the pressure on the front of them increased, and the soil body in the front began to produce a local plastic zone, as shown in Fig. 3. If the external tension on the stayed cable continues to grow, the plastic zones of the soil body will expand and finally be jointed to form a whole, as shown in Fig. 4. Before this phase, the force–deformation properties of the system are determined by the frictional resistance of the anchor piers. Afterwards, it is determined by the compression performance of the soil on the front of anchor piers. As the compression deformation of the soil is greater than the frictional deformation, one of the significant features is that an inflection point appears on the tension-displacement curve. After it, the slope of the curve decreases, and the displacement increases. This inflection point can be referred to as “the end pressure inflection point”.
The third phase: The phase of compaction-expansion in the plastic zone. After the end pressure inflection point, if the external tension on the stayed cable keeps growing, the anchor piers will have large displacement forward, and under the constraint of confining pressure of the surrounding soil along with the pressure of anchor piers, compression and stress redistribution of the soil body in the plastic zone will occur, as shown in Fig. 5. When the embedded depth of anchor piers is relatively large, as the external tension on the stayed cable grows. As the soil is continuously compacted, the resistance provided by the compacted soil to the anchor pier increases, and the displacement of the pull-anchor system tends to converge and stabilize,/n/n, as shown in Fig. 6.
The fourth phase: The phase of the anchor piers being pulled out. When the compaction in the plastic zone of the soil on the front of the anchor piers is stable, with the further increase in the external tension on the stayed cable, the deadweight of the overlying soil of the anchor piers cannot balance the oblique pulling force of the stayed cable and finally tends toward the limiting equilibrium condition. If the tension of the external load on the stayed cable increases to be large enough, the soil on the front of the anchor piers will form a "funnel-shaped" failure surface, and the anchor piers with the surrounding soil will be pulled out, as shown in Fig. 7.
Calculation model of the anti-pulling force for the anchor-pulling system
Considering the third form of failure above, the mechanical model is shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9. For the convenience of formula derivation and engineering applications, the trapezoid anchor piers in Fig. 8 can be replaced by the equivalent rectangular anchor piers in Fig. 9. In the figure, \(T\) is the pulling force of anchor system.
The anti-pulling force of the anchor-pulling system \( T_{b}\) is composed of two parts: the anti-pulling force provided by the frictional resistance of the lateral walls \(T_{1}\) and the soil positive pressure on the front of the anchor piers \(T_{2}\). That is:
where \(T_{1}\) is the anti-pulling force provided by the frictional resistance of the lateral walls and can be calculated using the following equation:
\(T_{2}\) is the soil positive pressure on the front of the anchor piers and can be calculated using the following equation:
Here, \(D_{e}\) is the section width of the equivalent anchor piers, \(D_{e} = \left( {D_{1} + D_{2} } \right)/2\); \(L_{m}\) is the section length of the equivalent anchor piers; \(H\) is the section height of the equivalent anchor piers; \(\tau\) is the intensity of frictional resistance between the lateral walls of the anchor piers and the formation26 (earth fill: 9–13 kPa; silt: 20–40 kPa; pebble: 55–65 kPa); \(D\) is the diameter of the corrugated sleeve of the protective stayed cable; and \(q_{d}\) is the intensity of the soil’s positive pressure on the front of the anchor piers.
Calculation model of deformation for anchor-pulling system
When the debris flow load is applied to the new grid dam structure, the load is transferred to the deep anchor system along the beam-column junction of the dam body. When the pull force is greater than its ultimate tensile strength; When the lateral friction resistance of anchor pier is greater than the ultimate shear strength of soil or the soil at the front of anchor pier is compressed; Plastic zone development through. The structure will break down.. Therefore, the total displacement of the system \(\left( S \right)\) can be expressed using elastic deformation of the stayed cable \( (S_{1} )\), relative shear displacement between anchor piers and the surrounding soil \((S_{2} )\) and the compression performance of the soil on the front of anchor piers \(\left( {S_{3} } \right)\), that is, \(\left( S \right) = (S_{1} ) + (S_{2} ) + (S_{3} )\).
Analysis of elastic deformation of the stayed cable
As the pulling force of the stayed cable is the external load transmitted by the grille columns and beam nodes, according to Hooke's law, we know that:
where \(L_{l}\) is the length of the stayed cable; \(T\) is the pulling force that the stayed cable bears; \(E_{l}\) is the elastic modulus of the stayed cable; and \(A_{l}\) is the sectional area of the stayed cable.
Analysis of the relative shear displacement between anchor piers and the surrounding soil
To analyze the relative shear displacement between equivalent anchor piers and the surrounding soil, we take anchor piers as free bodies and take one of them as a unit body. Its force is shown in Fig. 10.
From the static equilibrium of the unit body, there exists:
where \(\sigma\) is the section mean normal stress of the equivalent anchor piers, \(\sigma = T/A_{e}\); \(\tau\) is the intensity of frictional resistance between the lateral walls of the anchor piers and the formation; \(A_{e}\) is the section area of the equivalent anchor piers, \(A_{e} = D_{e} L_{m}\); and \(D_{e}\) is the section width of the equivalent anchor piers.
So axial strain of unit body turns to:
where \(\left( S \right)\) is the displacement of the unit body; \(L_{m}\) is the section length of the equivalent anchor piers; and \(E_{e}\) is the elastic modulus of the equivalent anchor piers.
If we assume that there is a linear elastic incremental relationship27 between the shear force and shear displacement of the soil around the anchor piers, then
where \(G_{s}\) is the shear modulus between the anchor piers and soil interfaces, the physical meaning of which is that the shear force is produced by unit shear displacement on the unit section length of the equivalent anchor piers. After differentiating Eq. (6) and solving Eqs. (5) and (7) simultaneously, we can obtain the second-order differential equation of load transfer of the anchor piers.
Let \(G_{s} a = \sqrt {G_{s} /D_{e} L_{m} E_{e} }\), the general solution of the equation above is:
Substituting the boundary conditions of \(\left( {\frac{\partial S}{{\partial x}}} \right)_{x = 0} = - \frac{T}{{D_{e} L_{m} E_{e} }}\) and \(\left( {\frac{\partial S}{{\partial x}}} \right)_{H = 0} = 0\), the relative shear displacement of the anchor piers is obtained.
Substituting \(x = 0\) and \(x = H\) into the equation above, we can obtain the relative shear displacement of the top and bottom of the anchor piers:
According to the continuity of the soil, we know that \(S\left( H \right)\) is the relative shear displacement between the anchor piers and the surrounding soil \(S_{2}\), that is, \(S\left( H \right) = \left( {S_{2} } \right)\).
Calculation of the compression performance of the soil on the front of anchor piers based on semi-infinite body theory
When the anchor piers are deeply buried in the stable region, we can assume that the force of the soil around its front satisfies the condition for the distributed pressure in the finite area on a semi-infinite boundary plane. The lengths of the equivalent rectangle are \(D_{e}\) and \(L_{m}\), and there is uniform pressure with a degree of 1 on this equivalent area.
In Fig. 11, the equivalent rectangle represents the range of loading. Now, we will solve the settlement \(S_{ki}\) of a point \(A\) on the symmetry axis of the equivalent rectangle, the distance of which to the center of the rectangle O is \(z\). Therefore, this uniform unit force can be divided into several micro concentrated forces. Then, the contribution that every micro concentrated force makes to the settlement of point A and the effect of all the micro concentrated forces in the range of loading are determined. Finally, we obtain the actual settlement of point A at this time. Let \(dP = 1/\left( {D_{e} L_{m} } \right)d\varepsilon dy\); the settlement of a point originated from this micro concentrated force can be calculated by Eq. (12)28, that is,
Now, we only have to integrate \(\varepsilon\) and \(y\) on the whole loading plane to obtain the final settlement \(S_{ki}\) of point \(A\). Here, \(r = \sqrt {\varepsilon^{2} + y^{2} }\).
where:
where \(sh^{ - 1}\) is the inverse of a hyperbolic function.
If point \(A\) is at the center point \(O\) of the equivalent rectangle and \(z = 0\), which is the location point of the stayed cable, the settlement is:
After determining the settlement \( (S_{ki} )\) of the center point of the equivalent rectangle under uniform unit pressure, we can obtain the compression performance of the soil on the front of anchor piers \(\left( {S_{3} } \right)\) under the action of tension \(T\), that is:
From the above analysis, the total displacement of the system is
Analysis of examples
Design parameters
A new type of Debris-flow grille dam is proposed to be built with a height of 8 m. Column section 500 mm × 700 mm, spacing 5000 mm. The cross section of the beam is 400 mm × 300 mm, and the spacing is 4000 mm. The section steel adopts I-steel 45a, the spacing is 250 mm. The counterfort wall is 300 mm thick and 6500 mm high. Pile foundation adopts manual digging pile, pile by 1000 mm, 5000 mm deep. The concrete is C30; Stressed bar is HRB335; Stirrups is HRB300; Stay Cable is 3 \(\emptyset\) s15.2. The design size of the anchor piers is shown in Fig. 12. In the Figure where \(T = 2 \times 10^{5} N\); \(L_{l} = 8500\;{\text{mm}}\); \(E_{l} = 1.95 \times 10^{5} \;{\text{N/mm}}^{2}\); \(A_{l} = 420\;{\text{mm}}\); \(D_{e} = 1000\;{\text{mm}}\); \(L_{m} = 1200\;{\text{mm}}\); \(E_{e} = 3.0 \times 10^{4} \;{\text{N/mm}}^{2}\); \(H = 1000\;{\text{mm}}\); \(\mu = 0.2\); \(E = 20\;{\text{N/mm}}^{2}\). The parameter of gully bed soil is shown in Table 1.
Analysis of results
(1) The effect of the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of the surrounding soil on the displacement deformation of the anchor-pulling system.
The elastic modulus \(E\) and Poisson's ratio \(\mu\) are important parameters for calculating the displacement deformation of soil. They have something to do with both the properties of materials and the stress level. To analyze the effect of the physical parameter variation of the surrounding soil on the displacement deformation of the anchor-pulling system, we can study changing the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio. The variation range of the elastic modulus is 15–45 N/mm2, and the variation range of Poisson's ratio is 0.15–0.25.
Figure 13 shows the variation curve in which the displacement deformation increases with the elastic modulus of the soil around the anchor pier. We can see that as the elastic modulus of the soil around the anchor pier increases, the displacement deformation decreases gradually. When the elastic modulus is in the range of 15–35 N/mm2, the curve is steep, and the decrease in deformation is apparent. After 35 N/mm2, the curve becomes smooth, and the decrease in deformation tends to be stable.
In Fig. 14, the displacement deformation increases linearly with Poisson's ratio of the soil around the anchor pier. However, the total impact is not large. From calculation, the variation of elastic modulus of the soil around the anchor pier has nothing to do with elastic deformation of the stayed cable \((S_{1} )\), but mainly influences relative shear displacement between anchor piers and the surrounding soil \((S_{2} )\) and the compression performance of the soil on the front of anchor piers \( (S_{3} )\). where \((S_{2} )\) accounted for 89% and \(\left( {S_{3} } \right)\) accounted for 11%. When the Poisson ratio increases, the displacement deformation also increases. Poisson's ratio has the greatest influence on the relative shear displacement \((S_{2} )\) of the anchor pier and soil, accounting for approximately 96.4%. The design parameters should be selected correctly during design. The influence of parameters on the deformation of anchor system is analyzed by using control variable method. The influence of a single variable on the results can be intuitively obtained. However, the elastic modulus E and Poisson ' s ratio \(\mu\) of rock and soil are not independent. Therefore, Matlab is used to analyze the influence of the two aspects on the deformation of the tensile anchor system, and the results are shown in Fig. 15. It can be seen from Fig. 15 that the influence of elastic modulus E on the deformation of tensile anchor system is much greater than that of Poisson’s ratio \(\mu\). And the variation of the curve is basically the same, so the interaction between the two is weak.
(2) The effect of the design parameters of anchor piers on the displacement deformation of the anchor-pulling system.
The design parameters of anchor piers include the equivalent width \(D_{e}\), length \(L_{m}\) and height \(H\). Different design parameters have varying effects on the displacement deformation of the anchor-pulling system. Keep other parameters unchanged and let \( D_{e} \) vary in 0.5–1.5 m, \(L_{m}\) vary in 0.6–2.0 m, and \(H\) vary in 0.5–1.5 m. Analyzing their effect on the displacement deformation of the anchor-pulling system, the results are shown in Figs. 16 and 17.
As illustrated in Figs. 16 and 17, the effects of the design parameters of the anchor piers on the displacement deformation of the anchor-pulling system are almost the same. As the size increases, the displacement deformation gradually decreases, and the front section decreases quickly, while the rear section becomes gradually smooth. Here, the equivalent width \(D_{e}\) and length \(L_{m}\) mainly affect the compression performance of the soil on the front of anchor piers \(\left( {S_{3} } \right)\). The anchor piers can be seen as rigid bodies where horizontal displacement takes place. Increasing the size means increasing the contact area between the anchor pier and soil body. With this increase, the compression performance of the soil on the front of the anchor piers decreases. However, the effect of the height \(H\) on the displacement deformation of the anchor-pulling system is the contribution to the relative shear displacement between the anchor piers and the surrounding soil \((S_{2} )\). When \(H\) grows, \((S_{2} )\) grows accordingly. However, theoretically, the larger the effect of the size, the better it is. Because of the constraint of topographic conditions, construction conditions and economic benefits in practical engineering, it is necessary to choose the best size. the anchor pier provides enough anchor force and saves all kinds of resources. The best design dimensions suggested are \(D_{e}\) = 1.2 m–1.8 m, \(L_{m}\) = 1.5 m–2.5 m, and \(H\) = 1.0 m–1.6 m.
It can be seen from Fig. 18 that the width \(D_{e}\) and the height \(L_{m}\) of anchor pier influence each other greatly. When \(D_{e}\) is 600 mm, with the increase of \(L_{m}\), the deformation of tension anchor system will first decrease and then increase. When \(D_{e}\) is greater than 800 mm, with the increase of \(L_{m}\), the deformation of tension anchor system will continue to decrease. And with the increase of \(L_{m}\), the decreasing trend is more obvious. When \(L_{m}\) is 500 mm, with the increase of the height of the anchor pier \(D_{e}\), the deformation of the anchor system will increase first. When \(L_{m}\) is greater than 800 mm, with the increase of \(D_{e}\), the deformation of the anchor system will continue to decrease. But the decreasing trend is not much different.
The numerical validation
The establishment of the finite element model
When the finite element model of the anchor-pulling system and surrounding soil is created, the constitutive model of the surrounding soil uses the Mohr–Coulomb elastoplastic model. The anchor pier and surrounding soil use eight nodes as oparametric elements, such as solid45, of which the basic grid unit is cubic units. When the grid is divided, the grid between the anchor pier and the surrounding soil contact is dense. The LINK10 unit is used to simulate cables, which have a bilinear stiffness matrix. It can simulate not only tensile bar units but also compressed bar units. For example, when the pull-up option is used alone, if the unit is under pressure, its stiffness disappears, so it can be used to simulate the relaxation of cables or chains. This feature is very significant for the static problem of wire rope, which uses a unit to simulate the entire cable. It can also be used for dynamic analysis with inertial or dam** effects when the needed relaxation unit should pay attention to its performance rather than its movement. The soil is homogeneous. The soil physical parameters and structure design parameters are consistent with the theoretical calculation parameters mentioned above. The tensile force of the cable is exerted on the nodes as a force. The top surface of the model is free, and the normal displacements of the remaining faces are constrained such that the displacements are zero. The contact of the anchor pier and surrounding soils is a rigid-flexible surface-to-surface contact element to reflect the interaction. The surface of the anchor pier is regarded as the "target" surface, and the surface of the soil body is regarded as the "contact" surface. The coefficient of friction and normal penalty stiffness are 0.35 and 0.15, respectively. The scope of interaction between the anchor pier and the surrounding soil in the model is taken as 15 m × 11 m × 12 m, referring to past experience in engineering and the research data of the effect scope that the related anchors have had on the soil. The values of the model geometric parameters and physical and mechanical parameters are the same as in “Design parameters” section. The finite element model is shown in Fig. 19.
Research on finite element model grid
In order to verify the convergence of numerical simulation, the soil was divided into three different mesh sizes. Condition 1 is fine finite element meshing. The stress nephogram of condition 1 is shown in Fig. 20. Condition 2 is medium finite element mesh. The stress nephogram of condition 1 is shown in Fig. 21. Condition 3 is coarse finite element mesh. The stress nephogram of condition 1 is shown in Fig. 22. See Table 2 for specific grid division.
It can be seen from the stress nephogram of the three working conditions that the thicker the grid is, the greater the displacement of the anchor system is. The maximum displacement difference between condition 2 and condition 3 is 2.6%; the maximum displacement of condition 1 is 17% different from that of condition 2. The finer the mesh, the more accurate the numerical simulation results. But with the increase in computing time. It can be seen from Table 2 that the maximum iteration of condition 1 is 10 times, and the result will converge. The maximum iterations of condition 2 and 3 only need 7 times, and the results can converge.
The calculation results
Figure 23 and Fig. 24 are the displacement nephograms of the soil around the anchor piers for 100 kN and 400 kN, respectively. The soil displacement increases with increasing load, the affected area will increase and become uniform, and the area under load will also increase. The soil within the range of 1–3 m around the anchor pier is greatly affected, accounting for 80% of the total force. The soil around the anchor pier should be reinforced, and the anchoring force should be enhanced in the design.
In order to further study the influence of anchorage pier size on the displacement and deformation of anchorage system, finite element models with different sizes are established by finite element method. The stress nephogram is shown in Figs. 25, 26 and 27.
From Figs. 25, 26 and 27, it can be seen that when the anchor pier is rectangular, the deformation of the tensile anchor system decreases with the increase of the size of the anchor pier, but the degree is small. When the anchor pier is trapezoidal, the material is small, but the deformation is more ideal than the rectangular. It can be seen that reasonable selection of anchor pier size is crucial, not blindly increase the size of anchor pier.
Figure 28 shows that the displacement of the soil around the anchor pier increases with increasing load, and the added value is obvious at approximately 2–3 mm. Figure 29 shows that the increase in load has a great effect on the soil in front of the anchor pier. As the load increases, the compressive deformation of the soil gradually increases. As the distance from the anchor pier increases, the displacement of the soil decreases, and the scope of influence gradually decreases. The displacement of the soil tends to be stable beyond 4–5 m from the anchor pier.
Comparison of theoretical calculation and numerical simulation results at the time of load variation
To verify the correctness of the theoretical calculation, we compare the theoretical calculation with numerical simulation results of displacement deformation of anchor-pulling system under different pulling force of stayed cable. The results are shown in Fig. 30, see Table 3 for data.
As seen from Fig. 30, the theoretical and numerical simulation results are consistent, showing a linear growth trend. The slope difference of the two straight lines is approximately 5%, which meets the accuracy requirements of geotechnical engineering. As the restraint effect of the surrounding soil on the anchor pier is not fully considered, the theoretical calculation result is too large. The deformation of anchor \(\left( {S_{1} } \right)\) in displacement deformation is the same, and the relative shear displacement \(\left( {S_{2} } \right)\) of the anchor pier and the soil and the compressive deformation \((S_{3} )\) of the soil at the front end of the anchor pier are 1.25 times and 1.08 times the numerical simulation results, respectively. The change in \(\left( {S_{2} } \right)\) in the calculation results is large and should be taken into account in the design.
Conclusion

The results can provide a theoretical reference for the promotion and application of the new debris-flow grille dam.

1.
According to the destruction modes of the anchor-pulling system and the simplified calculation model, the formulas for calculating the anti-pulling force and the total displacement are given. The anti-pulling force \( T_{b} \) is composed of two parts: the anti-pulling force \( T_{1} \) provided by the frictional resistance of the sidewalls and the positive pressure \( T_{2} \) on the front of the anchor piers. The total displacement of the system \(\left( S \right)\) is composed of three parts: the elastic deformation \(\left( {S_{1} } \right)\) of the stayed cable, relative shear displacement \((S_{2} )\) between anchor piers and the surrounding soil and the compression deformation \(\left( {S_{3} } \right)\) of the soil on the front of anchor piers.
-
2.
As the elastic modulus of the soil around the anchor pier increases, the displacement deformation decreases gradually. When the elastic modulus is less than 35 N/mm2, the curve is steep, and the deformation is obviously reduced. After more than 35 N/mm2, the curve gradually becomes gentle, and the displacement deformation tends to be stable. The change in elastic modulus mainly affects the relative shear displacement \(\left( {S_{2} } \right)\) of the anchor pier and soil and the compressive deformation \(\left( {S_{3} } \right)\) of the soil at the front end of the anchor pier. Among these, \((S_{2} )\) accounted for 89%, and \(\left( {S_{3} } \right)\) accounted for 11%. When the Poisson ratio increases, the displacement deformation also increases. Poisson's ratio has the greatest influence on the relative shear displacement \((S_{2} )\) of the anchor pier and soil, accounting for approximately 96.4%. The design parameters should be selected correctly during design.

As the size of the anchor piers increases, the displacement deformation decreases gradually. Here, the equivalent width \(D_{e}\) and length \(L_{m}\) mainly affect the compression deformation \(\left( {S_{3} } \right)\) of the soil on the front of anchor piers. The height \(H\) mainly affects the relative shear displacement \(\left( {S_{2} } \right)\). When \(H\) grows, \((S_{2} )\) grows either. The constraint of topographic conditions, construction conditions and economic benefits should be considered in practical engineering. The suggested economic design dimensions are \(D_{e}\) = 1.2 m ~ 1.8 m, \(L_{m}\) = 1.5 m ~ 2.5 m, and \(H\) = 1.0 m ~ 1.6 m.

Theoretical and numerical simulation results are consistent, showing a linear growth trend. The slope difference of the two straight lines is approximately 5%, which meets the accuracy requirements of geotechnical engineering. In the theoretical calculation results for displacement deformation, the relative shear displacement \((S_{2} )\) of the anchor pier and the soil and the compressive deformation \((S_{3} )\) of the soil at the front end of the anchor pier are 1.25 times and 1.08 times the numerical simulation results, respectively. The change in \((S_{2} )\) in the calculation results is large and should be taken into account in the design.
