This example illustrates the anchoring of a steel beam (IPE 360) to a reinforced concrete (RC) girder via an endplate connection. Due to geometric constraints, it is essential to analyze the anchor reinforcement to prevent potential concrete failure.
For a comprehensive assessment:
- Use IDEA StatiCa Connection to evaluate the steel-to-concrete anchoring, including the steel plates and anchors.
- Use IDEA StatiCa Detail to assess the concrete block and its reinforcement, ensuring the anchoring forces are safely transferred without compromising the integrity of the RC girder.
