❌ Flexible ✔️Stiff Base Plate

Описание: Warning: Avoid a serious structural mistake. When designing an anchor base-plate, you must ensure it possesses adequate stiffness. Here's why:
A stiff plate guarantees evenly distributed forces on both the concrete and anchors. Conversely, a flexible plate presents several issues:
1. It subjects the anchors to higher loads and imposes greater stress on the concrete.
2. It fails to comply with international codes, as resistance equations for anchor groups assume a rigid anchor base-plate.
3. It allows for greater displacement due to increased rotation.

Solution?

Employ finite element analysis for a realistic assessment of anchor base-plate rigidity.
