All data and information in the software is based on fischer products and common engineering knowledge. Please
check all the proof results against local valid standards and approvals.
As fischer is not the design office, the attached is no guarantee for incorrect input or assumptions. Any
recommendations have to be approved by the building-authority or project engineer. Results are valid only for
anchor system calculated in the attached. If any part of the system is changed, it will invalidate this report and new
N
calculations would be required. The calculation was done under the assumption that a sufficient
splitting reinforcement is available. In this case the spliiting
O

failure can be omitted.

The transmission of the anchor loads to the supports of the concrete member shall be shown for the ultimate limit state and
C

the serviceability limit state; for this purpose, the normal verifications shall be carried out under due consideration of the
actions introduced by the anchors. For these verifications the additional provisions given in the current design method shall
be taken into account.
As a pre-condition the anchor plate is assumed to be flat when subjected to the actions. Therefore, the plate (if present) must
R

be sufficiently stiff. The C-Fix anchor plate design is based on a proof of stresses and does not allow a statement about the
stiffness of the plate. The proof of the necessary stiffness is not carried out by C-Fix.
