Anchoring design in reinforced concrete
Analyze all the forces from a steel structure in a 3D concrete block with real reinforcement
Design Steel-to-Concrete Anchoring in 3D
Design accurate steel-to-concrete anchoring in 3D for any member, including edge-sensitive conditions. Optimize performance with real reinforcement, stiffness, and the use of all shear transfer types.
- Cover anchoring steel structures to concrete foundations, members, and walls
- Model the concrete block in 3D with the real reinforcement
- Analyze shear transfer through anchors, lugs, and friction
- Use AISC formulas (AISC 360-10/ 360-16/ 360-22) for checks of steel parts and anchors
- Identify stress flow mechanisms between concrete and steel rebars
DESIGN RESULTS
In addition to the list of code-checks for steel elements and anchors, thanks to the 3D CSFM method, IDEA StatiCa also provides you with:
Visualize reinforcement to identify weak points
Get detailed analysis of concrete and reinforcement under real loading. Visualize and interpret complex RC behavior using section views and precise data.
- Conduct non-linear 3D calculations for reinforced concrete
- Calculate stress and strain in concrete and steel bars
- Use section views to identify critical failures
- Optimize materials and prevent overdesign with real reinforcement and accurate baseplate stiffness properties
Transfer Design Data in just a few Clicks
Save time and reduce errors by transferring structural data between Connection and Detail without the need for manual re-entry.
- Import baseplate and anchors directly from the Connection app
- Transfer the geometry, material properties, and loads
- Add reinforcement, analyze, and optimize in Detail
- Use data exchange to eliminate rework and errors
