Understanding Cracked Concrete and Its Impact on Anchor Design
Concrete cracking is not a defect — it is normal, expected behaviour under load, shrinkage, and temperature. Yet many anchor designs still assume uncracked concrete 📉 and that single assumption can significantly overestimate anchor capacity. The result? Anchors that look safe on paper but underperform where it matters most. ❌ Join our technical session and build a solid understanding of cracked concrete and how to design anchors for it with confidence using PROFIS Engineering 👇 🧱 What cracked concrete actually is, and why it is unavoidable 🛡️ Why it matters for anchor safety and long-term performance 📐 Assessment methods defined in both EU and ACI code frameworks 🔩 Key design provisions for anchors in cracked concrete 💡 How to apply these principles directly in PROFIS Engineering 👥 Who should attend: Consultants | Structural Engineers | Contractors | Specifiers | Developers
