In theory we have
started with the geometry in combination with the cutting theory of Miedema and
the strip footing theory as discussed in Verruijt. So the output of this theory
is the pull force. In reality it is easier to understand the inverse process.
In this way you
can use the pull force as an input to determine the holding capacity and the
trajectory of the anchor.

interpretation
In practice you know the needed pull force and when using this model, you get inside information of the trajectory and the holding capacity. Because of that it’s more practical to have the pull force as an input.
