Holding Capacity of Inclined Square Plate Anchors in Clay

Laboratory model test results for the holding capacity of inclined shallow square plate anchors in clay ( ϕ = 0 concept) have been presented. The inclination of the anchor with respect to the horizontal was varied from zero to 90°. Based on the model study, an empirical relationship for estimating the ultimate holding capacity of the anchors has been presented.
