Post-installed rebar design
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.
Concrete edge failure
Frequently asked question: In a narrow and thin component the resistance for concrete edge failure does not increase with increasing edge distance c1. What is the reason for this illogical baviour? Answer: With edge distances c2,1 and c2,2 and a component thickness h...
Design of fastenings based on EN 1992-4
In addition to the design according to ETAG 001, Annex C, it is now possible to carry out design of mechanical and chemical fasteners based on the European standard EN 1992-4 in DesignFiX.
Anchor theory versus reinforced concrete theory
High-performance injection mortars are suitable for anchoring threaded rods and internally threaded sleeves as well as reinforcing bars.
Anchor Design Software – Curious Design Results #4
If the number of tensioned anchors changes within an anchor group close to an edge due to variable loads, then there may be steps in the characteristic resistance for ‘Concrete cone failure’.
