 capacity. The user begins with site survey, soil property requirements, and assesses 

 whether unusual or hazardous soil conditions exist. The short-term static holding 

 capacity is then determined. From this base the user proceeds to the other holding 

 capacity topics as required by the expected loading conditions.

This handbook-style report has been prepared to assist the engineer with limited geo- 

 technical experience, in determining the holding capacity of a plate anchor for all loading 

 conditions — short-term static holding capacity, long-term static holding capacity, impulse 

 loading holding capacity, cyclic loading holding capacity, cyclic creep holding capacity, and 

 the effects of earthquake loading. A flow diagram leads the user to appropriate sections of 

 the report in the process of analyzing the various types of anchor holding capacity. The user 

 begins with site survey, soil property requirements, and assesses whether unusual or hazardous 

 soil conditions exist. The short-term static holding capacity is then determined. From this 

 base the user proceeds to the other holding capacity topics as required by the expected 

 loading conditions.
