Anchor Plate Pullout Capacity Calculator

Calculate ultimate pullout capacity of shallow and deep anchor plates using Meyerhof's bearing capacity approach. Shallow anchor: failure wedge extends to surface. Deep anchor: local failure only.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How It Works

Calculate ultimate pullout capacity of shallow and deep anchor plates using Meyerhof's bearing capacity approach. Shallow anchor: failure wedge extends to surface. Deep anchor: local failure only

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Meyerhof's bearing capacity approach — The meyerhof's bearing capacity approach recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the anchor pullout capacity result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the Meyerhof's bearing capacity approach for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate ultimate pullout capacity of shallow and deep anchor plates using Meyerhof's bearing capacity approach. Shallow anchor: failure wedge extends to surface. Deep anchor: local failure only. Use the anchor pullout capacity result to inform your calculation.
