The paper reviews the analytical and numerical studies of horizontal anchor plates during the last fifty years. Various numerical methods for estimating the ultimate pullout capacity of anchor plates have been developed. This paper discusses different theories and numerical studies in anchor plates by previous researchers. Analyses, beginning from Meyerhof & Adams (1968) until the most recent analysis such as Kuzar ad Kumar (2009) are reviewed. This analysis was pioneered by Vesic (1971), Sarac (1989) and Smit (1989), Krishna (2000), Fargic and Marovic (2003), Merfield and Sloan (2006), Dickin and Laman (2007), Kumar and Bhoi (2008), Kuzer and Kumar (2009) will also be discussed. The results include most recent theories and numerical studies that accompanied by experimental work.
