Complete code-check of anchors and concrete block in Detail 3D (ACI)
Together, IDEA StatiCa Connection and Detail form a powerful pair for anchorage assessments. What all needs to be assessed according to ACI and what results do we get from which application? See the following article for a clearer picture. Designing anchors is typically straightforward until high loads, limited edge distances, or complex geometries make standard plain concrete checks insufficient. In these cases, reinforcement becomes essential, but verifying its effectiveness requires more...
