In practice, the anchorage is typically achieved by means of end plates in combination with headed studs. However, several alternative solutions exist, each offering specific advantages and disadvantages.
A particular focus is placed on the use of Detail 3D, which enables a realistic analysis of this complex problem.
By modelling the relevant regions with solid elements, the concrete zones subject to the highest stresses become clearly visible.
This allows both the reinforcement layout and the arrangement of the headed studs to be purposefully optimized.
Objectives of the webinar:
- to capture the load paths realistically and reduce conservative, cost‑intensive assumptions
- to optimise structural details so that they are both economical and feasible in construction
The webinar is aimed at engineers with experience in bridge construction.
