Laboratory model test results for the uplift capacity of a circular plate anchor embedded in saturated kaolinite and montmorillonite have been presented. The tests were conducted with and without venting the bottom of the anchor plate. Based on the model test results, the variation of the ratio of mud suction force to the net ultimate uplift capacity with embedment ratio has been presented.
