  abstract: The failure characteristics of overconsolidated clays under
  abstract: sustained loads less than their peak strengths have been
  abstract: investigated. Both gradual and sudden types of creep rupture
  abstract: were observed under various levels of sustained loads. It
  abstract: was observed that residual strength of overconsolidated clay
  abstract: does not govern the delayed failure of such clays. Specific
  abstract: attention was given to sudden failure without any early
  abstract: indication. A creep threshold has been established above and
  abstract: below which creep deformation as well as rupture
  abstract: characteristics vary significantly. A method of determining
  abstract: this creep threshold from only one test has been developed.
  abstract: Besides laboratory investigation, load tests on four full-
  abstract: scale ground anchors were performed and data analyzed. The
  abstract: variation of anchor capacities during the last six years and
  abstract: their deformation behavior under various levels of sustained
  abstract: loads have been reported. It is observed that the capacity
  abstract: of all four anchors increased 16-43% of their initial
  abstract: capacities. In terms of lock-off loads, anchors lost 4-13%
  abstract: of their initial design loads during the last six years. The
  abstract: overall long-term Performance of the ground anchors at NGES-
  abstract: TAMU appears to be satisfactory during this period. Based on
  abstract: these load tests data, it may be concluded that ground
  abstract: anchors can be built as permanent structures in stiff clays.
