The development of self-burying suction anchors is described and data on pull-out forces presented for both inverted-cup and solid hemispherical types embedded in fine sand at depths up to three times anchor diameter. Observations made during sea trials of both anchor types are discussed. It is shown that the application of anchor suction increases the force necessary for pull-out of deeply embedded anchors and that suction anchors can have a low power requirement. (Jensen)
