Automatic anchoring code-selection with hooked anchors
The anchor type list includes hooked anchors for EN designs. Code-check of tension and shear resistance for anchorage according to Eurocode feature automatic differentiation between 1993-1-8 and 1992-4 code requirements based on anchor type.
The Anchor type – 'Hooked anchors' – can be selected from the drop-down menus:
For this anchor type, pull-out resistance is checked with an assessment according to EN 1992-1-1.
The steel resistance values for anchors are taken into account according to this simple rule:
- Post-installed anchors (type = Straight) – resistance according to EN 1992-4
- Cast-in anchors (type = Washer plate or Hook) – resistance according to EN 1993-1-8
This improvement is also based on FprEN 1993-1-8:2023 and is aligned with recommendations of the Dutch ECCS TC10 group. For more information about the approach of distinguishing between Post-installed and Cast-in anchors, see this document: Column bases in shear and normal force.
