Calculation Description (Optional)

This description will appear at the top of the detailed report

Basic Parameters

Parameter
Value
Description
Design tension force Diameter of rebar to be anchored Number of rebars to be anchored Diameter of transverse reinforcement Number of bars orthogonal to anchored bars along lbd. ⚠️ Must be iterated manually!

Material Properties

Parameter
Value
Description
Characteristic concrete compressive strength Concrete material safety factor (standard: 1.5) Coefficient for concrete strength (standard: 0.85) Characteristic yield strength of reinforcement Steel material safety factor (standard: 1.25)
Design stress in rebar. Auto-calculated from SEd, but can be overwritten. Accepts mathematical formulas.

Cover & Spacing

Parameter
Value
Description
Concrete cover (top/bottom) Concrete cover at sides Center-to-center distance of main rebars

Configuration

Parameter
Value
Description
Good: η1=1.0, Poor: η1=0.7 Anchorage in tension or compression Affects cd calculation and α1 Straight or bent bar configuration Structural element type Coefficient for transverse reinforcement: 0.1=bar inside bend, 0.05=orth. reinf. outside bars, 0=bar outside orth. bars
