What’s Possible in Anchoring Design & Analysis

With the expanded options for defining anchors and baseplates, it is now possible to model a wide variety of concrete anchorage systems. This might initially make the modeling process seem more complex. 

The goal of the webinar is to demonstrate that this complexity is only superficial and that creating an accurate model simply involves proper engineering judgment. 

You'll see:

• detailed explanation of the individual components of anchors and baseplates, 
• enabling users to select the correct anchor type,
• and understand which design code checks are used for verification.

In the Connection app, anchor code checks are performed using analytical formulas. Some of these formulas have now been implemented in the Detail app, with the option to select the design standard used for code checking. Unlike Connection, anchorage in Detail is treated as a discontinuity region, where the reinforcement of the concrete block is considered using the advanced 3D CSFM method.

During the webinar, a practical example will demonstrate a comparison between the code-check of a washer plate anchors using 3D CSFM and manual calculation.

The prevailing constraints associated with exporting of anchoring from Connection to Detail will be addressed thoroughly. Limitations may change with advancements in functionality and ongoing app improvements.
