Free Concrete Anchorage Resource 2

[KootK]

A colleague just shared this document with me which is freely available to all: Link. It's a research report on anchorage based on work done at the University of Alberta.

We discuss anchorage issues at length here so I thought that others might appreciate a peak at something relatively state of the art on that topic (published may 2021). That's pretty recent in the world of applied Newtonian physics.

In addition to the research and theory development, there are also a bunch of capacity tables at the end of the report. They are done to Canadian code but, since the underlying theory is the same, the results will be very similar to those calculated using other codes such as ACI.

"STANDARDIZATION AND TESTING OF EMBEDDED PLATES FOR DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND CONSTRUCTION ECONOMY", Steel Centre Engineering Report No. 020 | May 2021, Ian Chong-Xian Chin, Douglas Tomlinson, Robert G. Driver. Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

As I recall there was a big snafu over this on Target Field in Minnesota, I think there's an AISC presentation on it that brushes against the topic. Can't find it now, though.

Thanks for sharing KootK!

Dear Koot
- I think, this work should be followed with end-anchorage plate (for precast industry)
and could be extended to lifting anchorage-key part
-did they used any flowchart for these calculations? [Mathcad , Matlab or any language ?]
- we do use them in every research, so others could furtherly enhanced the research path
