Abstract Based on the elasto-plastic analysis of shear stress distribution in anchorage section,field destructive tests were carried out on the tension-concentrated anchor cable(TCAC),the tension-dispersed anchor cable (TDAC) and the pressure-dispersed anchor cable(PDAC). The comparative analysis was made regarding the shear stress distribution characteristics,the bearing capacity and the load-displacement curve. In the elastic stage,the peak shear stress appeared in the range of 0.5 m near the acting point of concentrated force and increased with the load growing. In the plastic period,debonding slippage occurred in the range of 0.5 m near the acting point of concentrated force,and the peak shear stress was shifted to the middle of anchorage body gradually. The residual shear stress on debonding section was about 1/3 of the peak value. TDAC has more uniform shear stress distribution and longer effective anchorage length,its carrying capacity was 31.1% higher than TCAC. Due to the radial expansion of anchorage body under pressure,the bond strength between PDAC and soil was improved,which made the PDAC?s carrying capacity to increase by 17.7% compared with TDAC. It can be seen from the load-displacement curve that the PDAC had better displacement ductility and deformation resistivity,therefore,it had advantages in soil anchoring.
