Abstract
The anchors are used as a tension members which attached to the foundation of the structure, mainly to counter any vertical lift reaction or overturning moment or combination of both. Structures such as transmission towers, tension cable for suspension bridges, guyed lattice tower, marine structures like floating platforms and tension leg platform, and, buried pipelines carrying fluids are subjected to uplift forces like wind force and buoy-1ant force, which are inevitable and are much greater than the dead weight of the structure itself. This study uses Plaxis-3D to demonstrate the uplift behaviour of a horizontal square anchor plate in cohesionless soil. The study describes the load–displacement behaviour, representing the anchor plate's pullout capacity in terms of non-dimensional breakout factor, the impact of soil density, and the embedment depth of the pullout capacity.
