Vertical Uplift Capacity of Horizontal Anchor Plates

The development history of computational methods for vertical uplift capacity of horizontal anchor plates is reviewed. Based on the logarithmic spiral failure surface and combined with the characteristic line throry, a new computational method is proposed and procedure is prepared. To the cohesionless soil, through the comparision of results which obtained with predecessor's experimental material and Meyerhof and the Adams's computation theory, the correction and feasibility is indicated.
