Laboratory model test results to determine the ultimate uplift capacity of strip anchors embedded in a saturated clayey soil are reported. The slope of the ground surface with respect to the horizontal was varied from zero degrees to 25 degrees. Based on the model test results, the variation of the critical embedment ratio and the breakout factor for shallow and deep anchors with the slope of the ground surface are discussed.
