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

 geotechnical experience, in determining the holding capacity of aplate 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
