Instrumented drag-in plate anchor tests have been performed under controlled conditions in an onshore well-documented clay deposit. Detailed measurements of the load-anchor-soil interaction have given an improved insight into the behaviour of drag-in plate anchors and a basis for design and specification of installation criteria for this type of anchors. The test anchors, type Denla (Bruce Anchor) and Stevmanta (Vryhof Ankers), were about 30-40% of prototype size and offshore installation and testing procedures were adopted.
