Anchor is a structural element as part of foundation that can take a variety of forms. Over the past four decades a wide variety of foundation anchor systems have been developed to satisfy the increasing demand for foundations with ever-higher pullout resistance.

Experimental modeling was carried to study the capacity of anchor plate under effect of cavity inside the soil, small scale anchor embedded in sandy soil was carried in laboratory to study the capacity and the displacement for loaded plate anchor, the result for test shows reduced capacity for the plate capacity under appearance of cavity inside the effective soil area for the anchor.
