1.4 GUIDE TO THIS DOCUMENT 



This report covers a broad range of topics dealing with the hold- 

 ing capacity of plate anchors. As an aid to the user, Figure 1-4 

 presents the steps necessary to determine the applicable holding capa- 

 city of an anchorage. The items in Figure 1-4 are referenced to appro- 

 priate sections of the report. Briefly these sections are: 



• Section 2, SITE SURVEY, provides recommended site surveys 

 and typical properties. 



• Section 3, PENETRATION, presents methods for estimating pene- 

 tration in cohesive and cohesionless soils . 



• Section 4, FLUKE KEYING, discusses fluke keying distances in 

 cohesive and cohesionless soils. 



• Section 5, STATIC HOLDING CAPACITY, presents methods for 

 calculating holding capacity under short-term and long-term 

 static loading. 



• Section 6, DYNAMIC HOLDING CAPACITY, presents methods for 

 estimating holding capacity under impulse, cyclic, and earth- 

 quake loading.
