Abstract: Multiple-anchor fastenings are commonly used to connect steel superstructures with concrete foundations both in highway and building constructions. A plastic design method may be used for multiple-anchor fastenings, if full redistribution of forces between anchors is possible.
An analytical model was set up for exploring the behavior of multiple-anchor fastenings under combined tension/shear loads and bending moment. The correctness of the model was examined by comparisons between calculated and test results.
A number of parametric studies was carried out with the analytical model. Based on the results of this study it will be discussed whether a plastic design method can be applied for typical post-installed metal anchors.
