DesignFiX: The Free Anchor Design Software for Post-Installed Rebar and Fixings Calculations
Whilst the design dream is to avoid post-fixed anchors, there are often unavoidable cases where post-fixed anchors are necessary in construction projects. Fortunately, when fixing to concrete, designing these anchors is now covered by EN 1992-4, which provides a clear and safe approach to the design of anchors qualified with European Technical Assessments (ETA's).
There are many factors which affect the performance of a post-fixed anchor, these include:
Concrete strength
Area of concrete around the anchor
Spacing between anchors
Load combinations
The full Eurocode design method considers all these factors and uses a hierarchical approach, checking each potential failure mode for both tension and shear loads.
To perform all the different failure checks can be an arduous task, hence anchor calculation software can streamline this process and eliminate risk of error.
Whether you are working on structural steel connections, façade systems or retrofit projects, DesignFiX helps streamline the design process.
