Description

This Technical Report contains a design method for anchors which have been awarded an ETA in accordance with ETAG 001, Annex E.

This Technical Report provides a design method for anchors, which are used to transmit seismic actions to concrete members.

This Technical Report is intended for safety relevant applications in which the failure of anchors will result in collapse or partial collapse of the structure, cause risk to human life or lead to significant economic loss.

The provisions in this Technical Report do not apply to the design of anchors placed in critical regions of concrete elements where concrete spalling or yielding of reinforcement might occur during seismic events such as e.g. in plastic hinge zones. Anchors should therefore be placed outside of these regions.
