In most of the literature reviewed, simple constitutive models such as Tresca or Mohr–Coulomb (MC) have been used in evaluating the plates’ pullout capacity. There exists a need to study the pullout capacity of anchors using other advanced soil models and explore differences in computed behavior. In addition to the MC model, two other constitutive models are used herein to represent the soil behavior. These are Modified Cam-Clay and Soft Soil models. A series of finite-element analyses are performed using the three constitutive models. Undrained effective stress analyses are conducted to study the response of both strip and circular plate anchors in saturated soils. The capacities of plate anchors are assessed through the application of the displacement control approach. The effective stress parameters are correlated with the undrained shea...}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Geomechanics}, publisher={American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)}, author={Aghazadeh Ardebili, Zahra and Gabr, M.
