Abstract

Fasteners or anchors are widely used to form the connections between non-structural or structural components and the primary reinforced concrete structure. The design of fastenings in concrete is traditionally performed using force-based method, where the design load for the fastening is calculated corresponding to different possible failure modes and the lowest value defines the allowable load that can be applied for the anchorages [1-4].
