Description
This guide aims to provide readers with guidance on the design of anchor blocks. It is based on existing published information, which has been assessed and presented in a format suitable for application in practice.
The structural behaviour of anchor blocks is briefly outlined, followed by design instructions for both rectangular and non-rectangular members. Additional design considerations included are forces due to curved cables, influence of support reaction, anchorages near corners, and bearing stresses behind anchor plates. Requirements for primary, secondary (or equilibrium) and end face steel reinforcement are givens.
