DSAnchor
With DSAnchor, designing anchors for concrete foundations is no longer tedious or time-consuming. Our software allows you to quickly and accurately design safe anchorage in a few short steps. The intuitive graphical interface provides an easy way to determine safe anchorage of equipment and structures. DSAnchor is now integrated into our products – Foundation3D, Mat3D and Shaft3D.
DSAnchor takes into account a wide range of variables that may arise in any project — from anchor patterns to load combinations and cases.
The following features assist you in designing and analyzing your projects in a few easy steps and give you the concise answers you need.
Design and Analysis features:
- Because DSAnchor is integrated into our other products – Foundation3D, Mat3D and Shaft3D, you only enter load cases and combinations once saving significant input time
- Easy-to-use and easy-to-modify anchor database which includes prebuilt cast-in headed bolts, headed studs, hooked bolts, post-installed mechanical anchors and post-installed bonded anchors
- Supports various Anchor Patterns: rectangular and circular anchor patterns, symmetrical and asymmetrical anchor layouts, including entering anchor coordinates
- Displays single and group anchor forces, individual anchor and anchor group capacity calculations for axial loads and biaxial bending loading conditions
- Override various program computed parameters such as group areas, interaction ratio, bolt bearing area, strength reduction factors φ, tension and shear failure mode factors ψ and many other
- Graphical display of the governing modes of failure
- Recommendations to resist anchor tension and shear forces
- Available and required anchor reinforcement area, development length depending on the failure mode
- Detailed report containing all appropriate equations and applicable code sections including graphical sketches
