In this episode, we dive into the challenges of anchoring design, a critical yet often frustrating aspect of structural engineering. Whether dealing with anchors near concrete edges, force transfer through shear lugs, or optimizing base plate connections, traditional design methods often lead to conservative assumptions, excessive reinforcement, and inefficiencies.

Join us as we explore how modern finite element analysis (FEA) methods and tools like IDEA StatiCa are transforming anchoring design. We’ll discuss why relying on separate failure checks and outdated detailing rules can result in overdesign, and how a comprehensive, unified approach to failure mode assessment leads to safer, more efficient solutions.

Learn how advanced software solutions are eliminating guesswork from anchoring design, allowing engineers to optimize material usage, streamline workflows, and gain confidence in their calculations. If you’re ready to move beyond manual, conservative approaches and embrace a more data-driven methodology, this episode is for you.
