Inclined　circular　plate　or　helical　anchor　has　been　extensively　used　as　tensile　foundations　with　certain　horizontal　forces,　such　as　transmission　tower　and　offshore　structure　foundations.　The　studies　on　the　influences　of　inclination　angle　on　the　bearing　characteristics　under　different　sand　compactness　and　embedment　depth　are　insufficient.　Therefore,　this　research　carried　out　FEM　analysis　using　a　modified　Mohr-Coulomb　model　considering　the　variation　of　mobilized　sand　strength,　and　the　coupled　Eulerian-Lagrangian　technique　to　investigate　the　influence　of　inclined　angle　and　embedment　depth　of　circular　anchors　for　different　sand　densities　on　uplift　capacity　and　failure　mode.　Numerical　results　show　that　the　influences　of　embedment　ratio　and　density　on　uplift　capacity　are　particularly　important.　The　uplift　breakout　factor　of　the　anchor　plate　increases　rapidly　at　first　and　then　slowly　with　the　increase　of　the　embedment　ratio,　until　it　approaches　a　stable　value,　and　deep　failure　mode　occurs.　The　critical　embedment　ratio　increases　with　the　sand　compactness.　The　uplift　capacity　increases　with　the　increase　of　inclination　angle　for　shallow　embedment　depth,　but　the　influence　of　inclination　angle　gradually　decreases　for　deep　embedment　depth.　Also,　the　influence　of　the　inclination　angle　of　the　anchor　plate　becomes　more　pronounced　with　the　increase　of　compactness.　Copyright　©　2024　by　ASME.
