Anchor Design Software – Curious Design Results #1
The design of anchors in accordance with ETAG 001, Annex C or TR 029 may in certain cases lead to curious and illogical results that contradict the expectations of the users.
Special case: 3 or more component edges
In a concrete component with at least three edges in a distance less than 1.5 times the embedment depth the resistance for conical concrete break-out, splitting and pry-out failure does not increase … What is the reason for this illogical behaviour?
Earthquake ETAG 001, TR 045 Section 5.3b
What about design with requirements on the ductility of the anchors in accordance with TR 045, Section 5.3b? Technical Report TR 045 offers different design options: Capacity design in accordance with TR 045, Section 5.3a1 Elastic design in accordance with TR 045,...
Sharpen your profile
DesignFiX - ProfilesDesignFiX contains a database with common profiles which will be expanded continuously. With the function Profile you can select the type and the size of the profile welded to the base plate. ETAG 001, Annex C and TR 029 contain no detailed...
What is DesignFiX?
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 program, the clients can design mechanical and chemical heavy duty anchors under static loads and under the influence of earthquake.
DesignFiX – FEM module
DesignFiX offers a Finite Element Program (FEM) for the calculation of the base plate thickness.
Finite Element (FEM)
Finite Element Method: Under the provision that a valid design result is present, a profile was selected and at least one anchor is tension loaded, you can
