Question 4033 Deck General
70% to passTripping defects in anchors frequently occur in _______________.
A
shallow water
B
soft soils
C
deep water
D
stiff soils
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) soft soils. Tripping defects in anchors are more likely to occur in soft soils, as the anchor can become embedded and fail to hold properly. In soft soils, the anchor may not be able to penetrate deeply enough to achieve a secure hold, leading to tripping or dragging of the anchor. In contrast, anchors are less likely to experience tripping defects in deep water, stiff soils, or shallow water, as the anchor can typically achieve a more secure hold in these conditions.
