Abstract
Plate anchors are one of the most common types of ground anchors used in foundation systems, as they transfer loads from the foundation to the soil to prevent overturning the foundation and overcome the forces that could threaten the integrity of the structure. The present work concerns the study of the combined effects among the behavior of the anchor plate in sandy soil with and without water presence as a static state at a different head level (h=15, 30, and 40 cm) above the base of the anchor plate and for two states of the soil with improvement by geogrid at various location and without improvement. The soil sample was brought from AL-Nidaa district in the city of AL-Najaf (Iraq). The highest value of the ultimate uplift capacity is observed when the geogrid layer is adjacent to the anchor plate for dry and submerged cases of the soil. The negative effect of the presence of the geogrid layer appears when the water table level rises above the ground surface level.
