Prokon Anchor Bolt
Design Precise, Efficient, and Fully Code-Compliant Anchor Bolts
The Prokon Anchor Bolt module streamlines the design of anchors subjected to tension loads. Whether used as a standalone application or for post processing results from Prokon Base Plate, it delivers rapid, reliable calculations and clear design guidance to help engineers meet code requirements while saving valuable design time.
- Fast and accurate anchor bolt design calculations
- Clear identification of critical design parameters
- Post processed results from Prokon Base Plate
- Automatic evaluation of potential failure mechanisms
- Generate detailed calculation reports
- Compliance with: CSA-A23.3:2019, Eurocode 2-2004, SABS 0100-2000, and ACI 318-2019
Eliminate Delays and Reduce Errors
Manual anchor bolt design calculations can be time-consuming and susceptible to errors. The Anchor Bolt module automates the design process, delivering precise, code-compliant results instantly so engineers can focus on design optimisation rather than repetitive calculations.
Achieve Full Confidence in Meeting All Design Criteria
Design revisions often require multiple iterations to satisfy code requirements. The Anchor Bolt module clearly highlights governing failure modes and identifies the parameters requiring adjustment, enabling engineers to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.
Ensure Compliance with Industry Standards
Non-compliant designs can lead to costly delays, redesigns, and approval issues. The Anchor Bolt module verifies designs against recognised international and Local standards, helping engineers reduce project risk while increasing confidence in their designs.
Supported Design Codes
- CSA A23.3:2019
- Eurocode 2:2004
- SABS 0100:2000
- ACI 318:2019
Design Reliable Anchor Bolt Connections in Minutes
ANCHOR BOLT USE CASE : Warehouse Expansion Project
Challenge
A structural engineering consultancy was tasked with designing a series of steel column base connections for a warehouse expansion project. The design required cast-in headed anchor bolts subjected to significant tension forces. Accuracy, efficiency, and compliance with Eurocode requirements were critical due to tight project deadlines and safety-critical applications.
Solution
The team used the Anchor Bolt module in conjunction with the Base Plate design tool. Using the software, they were able to define anchor bolt geometry and layout, specify concrete base properties, and include supplementary reinforcement where required. The software evaluated multiple failure mechanisms, presented the results visually, and flagged parameters requiring adjustment.
Results
The project team achieved:
- A 70% reduction in design time compared to manual calculations
- Faster design iterations and approvals
- Detailed, professional calculation reports
- Full compliance with Eurocode 2:2004 requirements
