Deep-penetrating and torpedo anchors are designed to reach maximum velocities of 25–35 metres per second (82–115 ft/s) at the seabed, allowing for tip penetration of two to three times the anchor length, and holding capacities in the range of three to six times the weight of the anchor after soil consolidation.

Holding ground is the area of sea floor that holds an anchor, and thus the attached ship or boat. [4] Different types of anchor are designed to hold in different types of holding ground. [5] Some bottom materials hold better than others; for instance, hard sand holds well, shell holds poorly. [6] Holding ground may be fouled with obstacles. [6]
Single helix earth anchors Guyed mast anchor. An earth anchor is a device designed to support structures, most commonly used in geotechnical and construction applications. Also known as a ground anchor, percussion driven earth anchor or mechanical anchor, it may be impact driven into the ground or run in spirally, depending on its design and intended force-resistance characteristics.
Suction caissons (also referred to as suction anchors, suction piles or suction buckets) are a form of fixed platform anchor in the form of an open bottomed tube embedded in the sediment and sealed at the top while in use so that lifting forces generate a pressure differential that holds the caisson down.
A marine parachute anchor for a large yacht awaiting bagging up. A conical sea anchor with tripline (from an illustration in The Sailors Handbook by Halsey C. Herreshoff). An early wooden drogue. A sea anchor (also known as a parachute anchor, drift anchor, drift sock, para-anchor or boat brake) is a device that is streamed from a boat in heavy ...
Butterball is facing calls for a boycott just days before Thanksgiving after sickening footage of poultry workers allegedly sexually abusing and torturing its turkeys resurfaced on social media.
Helical anchors consist of an extendable steel shaft with helical bearing plates. Piles or piers refer to strong base elements that withstand or transfer vertical/horizontal loads. Anchors are piles utilised only in tension applications like restraining wall tiebacks or vertical ground anchors made to resist overturning forces.
