This study aimed to find out the pullout capacity of inclined strip anchor plate embedded in anisotropic and nonhomogeneous fully saturated cohesive soil in undrained condition. The ultimate pullout load has been found out by using numerical lower bound finite element analysis with linear programming. The undrained pullout capacity of anchor plate of width B is determined for different embedment ratios (H/B) varying from 3 to 7 and various inclination of anchor plates ranging from $0^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$ with an interval of $15^{\circ}$. In case of anisotropic fully saturated clay the variation of cohesion with direction has been considered by varying the ratio of the cohesion along vertical direction ($c_v$) to the cohesion along horizontal direction ($c_h$). In case of nonhomogeneous clay the cohesion of the undrained clay has been considered to be increased with depth below ground surface keeping $c_v/c_h=1$. The results are presented in terms of pullout capacity factor ($F_{c0}=p_u/c_H$) where $p_u$ is the ultimate pullout stress along the anchor plate at failure and $c_H$ is the cohesion in horizontal direction at the level of the middle point of the anchor plate. It is observed that the pullout capacity factor increases with an increase in anisotropic cohesion ratio ($c_v/c_h$) whereas the pullout capacity factor decreases with an increase in undrained cohesion of the soil with depth.

점토지반에서 횡방향하중을 받는 불균질말뚝과 균질말뚝의 거동에 영향을 미치는 인자를 파악하고 개발된 해석기법을 적용하여 매개변수 연구를 수행하였다. 매개변수연구에서 고려한 2개의 균질말뚝에 있어 말뚝 근입깊이에 따른 매개변수는 휨강성이 클수록 크게 계산되었다. 불균질말뚝에 대한 매개변수는 재료경계점에서 멀어짐에 따라 동일한 휨강성을 갖는 균질말뚝의 매개변수에 수렴하였다. 균질말뚝과 유사한 하중지지능력을 발휘할 수 있도록 하는 적절한 불균질말뚝의 상부길이를 결정하기 위해서는 균질말뚝과 불균질말뚝의 매개변수 변화양상과 해석을 통해 얻는 횡방향변위 및 부재력 등을 종합적으로 비교해야 한다.
