Özet

Contemporary fibre-reinforced concrete provides new opportunities for the design of

thin concrete elements with substantial bending strength. To realise the full benefits of

reduced weights owing to the reduced structural thickness, new anchorage elements

must be developed that can sustain high anchorage forces within limited embedment

depths in thin plates. This paper introduces a new anchorage design for concrete plates

or shells that provides high tensile forces between 4 and 6 kN within a small embedment

depth of 5 mm. The proposed design concept includes a two-stage anchorage mechanism

that provides the required tensile strength and ductility for the anchorage. Achieving such

anchorage capabilities within the limited embedment depth of thin concrete elements

enables the production of lightweight concrete plates and shells.
