 Design Method (simplified)

Simplified version of the design method according ETAG 001, TR 029. Design resistance
according data given in ETA-12/0164, issue 2013-06-20:
• Influence of concrete strength.
• Influence of edge distance.
• Influence of spacing.
• Valid for a group of anchors. (The influencing factors must then be considered for each edge distance and spacing.
The calculated design loads are then on the save side. They will be lower than the exact values according
ETAG 001, Annex C. To avoid this, it is recommended to use the anchor design software of Würth).
• The design method is based on the following simplification: No different loads are acting on individual anchors
(no eccentricity).
• Temperate range I (min. base material temperature -40°C, max. long term/short term base material temperature:
+24°C/40°C).
• Dry or wet conditions of drill hole, hammer drilling.
• Installation temperature range -10°C to +40°C.

Tension loading

The decisive design resistance in tension is the lowest value of the following failure modes:

Steel failure:

Combined Pull out and concrete cone failure:

Design concrete cone resistance and splitting resistance of a single anchor

Concrete cone failure:

Concrete splitting failure:

No verification of splitting is required if at least one of the conditions is fulfilled:

a) The edge distance in all directions is for single fasteners and for fastener groups and the
member depth is in both cases.
b) The characteristic resistance for concrete cone failure and pull-out failure is calculated for cracked concrete and
reinforcement resists the splitting forces and limits the crack width to .

For α ≥ 90° the component of the shear load acting away from the edge may be neglected and the verification may
be done with component acting parallel to the edge only.

Influence of spacing
VM 250 M

In groups loaded perpendicular to the edge only two adjacent anchors closest and parallel to the edge carry the load.
The smallest spacing should be used for the verification.
