Embedded steel plate in concrete
Embedded steel plate in concrete
(OP)
Hello every body!
I am designing an steel anchorage and I have one doubt. I have a bolt postensioned, which has not contact with concrete. It is joinned with a steel plate which is embedded in concrete. When calculating the steel plate: Can I consider that the embedment improve the strength of the plate? or I have to consider uniquely the plate thickness?
PD.: attached sketch.
Thank you

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

It's not just the practical way, it's the right way. Unless you're willing to FEM model the whole assembly, I don't see how you could quantify what little benefit the surrounding concrete might offer in this case.
