Abstract
The results of a number of laboratory model tests for the short-term u ltimate uplift capacity of a circular plate anchor embedded in saturat ed soft kaolinite and montmorillonite are presented. The tests were co nducted with and without venting the bottom of the plate anchor in ord er to determine the variation of the suction force with embedment rati o. The variation of the suction force is presented in terms of the und rained shear strength of the clay and also the net ultimate uplift cap acity.
