  3. 17. Steel-to-concrete connections in narrow concrete corners

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Daniel Carlson Bjernald; Emil Lönn; [2022]
    Keywords : Concrete; steel bolts; concrete failure modes; Abaqus; numerical calculations; concrete cone failure; concrete damaged plasticity; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A commonly occurring problem when designing steel-to-concrete connections in corners with space deficits is the necessity for irregularly placed bolts with regards to design codes. The complexity of the calculations for the irregular placements of bolts generates the need to use simplified models during the design. READ MORE
