Anchorage length - Lap length based on eurocode 2
Reinforcement contributes to make concrete stronger. This means that concrete structures take up larger tension forces.
That's why reinforcing bars, wires or welded mesh fabrics shall be so anchored and lappped that the transmission of the forces is assured as well as large cracks which affect the performance of the structure do not occur.
The website provides to structural engineers (professionals and students) in the construction sector free-online web app for design of anchorage length - lap length based on eurocode 2 (swedish standards). It has been tested and verified by experienced civil engineers that the calculation result is accurate. However, despite considerable effort we cannot exclude the possibility that an error exists. The results should therefore always be verified by a qualified engineer.
