This is a fully revised and updated discussion of the theoretical developments in earth anchors. Anchors are primarily used in the construction of foundations of earth-supported and earth-retaining structures. The fundamental reason for using earth anchors in construction is to transmit the outwardly directed load to the soil at a greater depth and/or farther away from the structure. Although earth anchors have been used in practice for several hundred years, proper theoretical developments for purposes of modern engineering designs have taken place only during the past 40 to 45 years. This book summarizes most theoretical and experimental works directed toward the development of proper relationships for the ultimate and allowable holding capacity of earth anchors.

Braja M. Das is the former Dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science at California State University. Sanjay Shukla is program leader of the Discipline of Civil Engineering at Edith Cowen University in Australia.

Chapter 1: Earth Anchors-GeneralChapter 2: Horizontal Plate Anchors in SandChapter 3: Horizontal Plate Anchors in ClayChapter 4: Vertical Plate AnchorsChapter 5: Inclined Plate AnchorsChapter 6: Helical Anchors in SandChapter 7: Helical Anchors in Clay Chapter 8: Anchor PilesChapter 9: Suction Caisson and Drag AnchorsChapter 10: Geo-Anchors

"This book expertly summarizes the existing theories related to the uplift/pullout capacity of horizontal anchor plates, vertical anchor plates, helical anchors, and anchor piles. The new edition also includes chapters related to suction caisson and drag anchors, and geo-anchors. Such a comprehensive coverage of earth anchors will be an extremely helpful reference for both practitioners and researchers." - Professor Khaled Sobhan, Ph.D., Associate Director, Center for Marine Structures and Geotechnique, Florida Atlantic University
