(OP)
Does anybody know of a good reference material to calculate the uplift capacity of a metal rod or re-bar in soil at different depths and for different types of soil?

RE: Re-bar Pull-up Capacity in Soil
As I recall, the worst number we got was like 1,500 lbs (actual, no safety factor) into some loose fill placed in an old arroyo with 16' or so embed. The tension values were much higher in the native soil (glacial till, I think) but it had so many cobbles that getting a rebar in with an air hammer was problematic.
