Window 1.6 Anchors manages the parameters of column base anchors.
Anchors
The Number of anchors is currently fixed with two anchors (hinged column footings) or four anchors (restrained column footings).
You can specify the Diameter and the strength Class of the anchors by using the drop-down lists.
There are three variants for the Type of anchors available. They affect the design resistance when anchors are pulled out under tensile stress.
The partial safety factors for the design are controlled with the settings for the Bond conditions and Installation safety.
Depending on the design of the anchor bolts, a reduction of the determined design resistance by the factor βA = 0.85 can be considered according to [1], Table 3.4 (see [1], 3.6.1(3)).
Anchor Dimensions
You can adjust the arrangement of the anchors on the base plate by using the Anchor length parameter and entering the Spacing from the edges of the base plate.
Other
In this section, you can specify the shape, size, and thickness of the Washers and Anchor heads. The graphic on the right provides a dynamic visualization of the input parameters.
