An analytical method is proposed in this paper to calculate the maximum embedded depth of a dragged Hall anchor when passing through rock berm and to thus define a minimum buried depth of pipelines in rock berm to prevent pipelines from being damaged by dragging anchors. The movement of a Hall ancho...
