Abstract
This paper presents theoretical and numerical methods for determination of the uplift behavior of horizontal anchor plates loaded by a vertical tension force, for plane and spatial axially-symmetrical strain conditions. The assumed forms of the rupture planes were: the line which forms the angle equal to the angle of dilatancy with the vertical, and the logarithmic spiral whose tangent at the contact point with the anchor plate is vertical, and crosses the soil surface at an angle of π/4-&phis;/2. The final results of this paper are analytical expressions and diagrams of the bearing capacity of shallow anchors in sand. This enables relatively simple calculation of bearing capacity, which is independent of the angle of the shearing resistance, relative density and embedment ratio.
