Steel anchoring has always been a challenge. It has been tossed back and forth like a hot potato between steel designers and concrete designers. Standards and other guidelines provide us with possible ways to approach anchoring, but they come with too many limitations and conditions that are difficult to follow in today\u2019s creative world.<\/div>\n
\n

One could say, “Just design what the standard explicitly allows us.” But let\u2019s do a reality check: that\u2019s simply not how it works, whether for the tight spaces or technical and architectural requirements. And so,\u00a0anchoring<\/strong>\u00a0that could be considered “on edge” (figuratively) \u2013 or better said, specific types of anchoring\u00a0\u2013\u00a0can be seen all around us. Many cases are precisely calculated and verified with more advanced methods (even if it may have taken an excessively long time). However, many cases have probably not been assessed as thoroughly as they deserve.<\/p>\n

IDEA StatiCa has been changing and pushing forward the design of steel connections, steel and concrete members, and concrete details for some time now. It’s not about simplification of the workflow through computerized calculation, it’s mainly about the innovative methods that allow us to design the previously unthinkable.<\/p>\n

Whether you belong to the group that struggles with anchoring designs for days or relies solely on experience but then doesn’t sleep soundly, read on.<\/p>\n

Doors to new possibilities<\/h2>\n

If you are involved in anchoring structures, you can probably think of several cases that have given you a hard time. Here are a few examples that we have recently identified as very difficult to design using only standard practices. But, with the help of our tools\u00a0IDEA Statica Connection\u00a0and Detail, it is becoming possible to design in a relatively reasonable amount of time.<\/p>\n
