Finite Element Analysis of Inclined Plate Anchor Pull-Out Performance

Kaan Yünkül conducted a set of three-dimensional finite element analyses investigating plate anchor pull-out capacity. The study systematically varied anchor aspect ratio, inclination angle, embedment depth ratio, and soil relative density to model breakout factor, shape factor, and failure mechanisms. Results and proposed empirical equations were published on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Predict breakout_factor from aspect_ratio, inclination_angle, embedment_depth_ratio, and relative_density using regression models.
• Analyze the relationship between shape_factor and internal_friction_angle to validate empirical equations.
• Model pressure_displacement_response curves for different anchor geometries to understand failure mechanisms.
• Compare inclination_factor values across varying embedment_depth_ratios for design optimization.

Strengths

• Analysis based on a systematic set of three-dimensional finite element simulations.
• Examines multiple key parameters: aspect ratio, inclination angle, embedment depth ratio, and soil density.

Limitations

• Dataset scale is limited to 11.2 MB, suggesting a contained set of simulation results rather than a large observational dataset.
• Underlying raw simulation data or columnar results are not explicitly described, limiting direct analysis.
