Book Description
A 15,000-pound anchor was fabricated using the criteria developed for the STATO family of anchors. The successful evolution of this new member of the STATO anchors may permit additional economies to be realized in the design of permanent moorings. The development of the anchor is described, tests and results are discussed, proof-loading techniques are suggested, and a statistical approach to predicting holding powers based on limited testing is offered. The new STATO anchor has a holding capacity of 320,000 pounds in a sand bottom. (Author).
