Includes current design standards, e.g. EN 1992-4 and EOTA TR 054 for the dimensioning of steel and bonded anchors in concrete as well as injection systems for anchoring in masonry. The anchor design in concrete can be performed either assuming a rigid base plate following a linear strain distribution or considering realistic stiffness conditions using a spring modeling approach.
The linear spring model combined with a finite-element approach allows the determination of anchor forces of group fixings. This allows the comparison between anchor forces of linear force distribution and realistic anchor forces.
The calculation is conducted with the well-established finite element software RFEM® by Dlubal® in the background of our servers. The modelling and verifications are performed as usual in C-FIX Online.
To check and fulfill the requirements (assumption of a stiff base plate) the anchorage can be optimized by the following parameters:
In addition to all current design standards C-FIX Offline includes also the verification according to „ENSO“ (Engineering Solution) which allows the calculation of extended design models that are possible according to fib. Furthermore, the module settings can be individually adapted to the local requirements.
