Anchor Design Software

DesignFiX – The Benchmark for Anchor Design – Become a Real Anchor Profi:

DesignFiX is an all-purpose anchor design program for manufacturers of fasteners for free distribution to their clients such as engineers, planners or craftsmen. By using the software, the clients can design mechanical and chemical heavy duty anchors under static loads and under the influence of earthquake. It takes into account internationally recognized regulations such as the European directive ETAG 001, the American standards ACI 318-05, ACI 318-08 and ACI 318-11 or the Canadian standard CSA A23.3-04. Therefore, it can be used in many countries worldwide.

Anchor theory versus reinforced concrete theory

by Dr. Rainer Mallée | Mar 13, 2018 | ETAG 001, Eurocode EC2/ETA, FAQ / Knowledge Base

High-performance injection mortars are suitable for anchoring threaded rods and internally threaded sleeves as well as reinforcing bars. A distinction is made between reinforcing bars that are used as anchors and bars for post-installed rebar connections. The design methods are correspondingly different.

NEW: Post-installed rebar design

by Dr. Rainer Mallée | Feb 8, 2018 | Eurocode EC2/ETA

Powerful injection systems are ideal for post-installed rebar connections. The injection mortar is injected into the thoroughly cleaned bore hole and then the reinforcing bar is inserted.
