Abstract The horizontal pullout capacity of a group of two vertical strip anchors placed along the same vertical plane in sand has been determined by using the upper bound finite elements limit analysis. The variation of the efficiency factor (ξ γ ) with changes in clear spacing (S) between the anchors has been established to evaluate the total group failure load for different values of (i) embedment ratio (H/B), (ii) soil internal friction angle (φ), and (iii) anchor-soil interface friction angle (δ). The total group failure load, for a given H/B, becomes always maximum corresponding to a certain optimal spacing (Sopt). The value of Sopt/B was found to lie in a range of 0.5–1.4. The maximum magnitude of ξ γ increases generally with increases in H/B, φ and δ.
