THE NEW EUROCODE 2-4 ALLOWS REINFORCEMENT TO BE
USED FOR CALCULATION OF POST INSTALLED ANCHORS

• Reinforcement in the base material has an impact in

concrete related failure modes.

• Eurocode 2-4 provides a design method to designed

reinforcement specifically to prevent concrete breakouts
(tension and shear).

• Designing post-installed anchors with supplementary

reinforcement requires knowing the location of the
reinforcement inside the concrete.

• Eurocode 2-4 covers supplementary reinforcement for

static and seismic loads!

VERIFICATIONS REQUIRED FOR SUPPLEMENTARY
REINFORCEMENT IN TENSION
No reinforcement Tension supplementary reinforcement

▪ Concrete breakout verification ▪ Concrete breakout verification is not required

▪ Steel verification of the supplementary reinforcement
▪ Anchorage verification of the supplementary
reinforcement

Supplementary reinforcement loads must be transferred to the structural member, following EN 1992-1.

SUPPLEMENTARY REINFORCEMENT IN TENSION IS
RELEVANT IN APPLICATIONS WITH SMALL EDGES
Edges << 1.5 hef

No reinforcement Tension supplementary reinforcement

• Typically fails in concrete breakout • Concrete breakout verification is

not performed

• Supplementary reinforcement

DOES NOT TYPICALLY HELP
Edges > 1.5 hef

No reinforcement Tension supplementary reinforcement

• Concrete breakout verification required • Concrete breakout verification not required

• Typically fails in pull-out • Still fails in pull-out

4) TRANSFER THE LOADS FROM THE REINFORCEMENT
TO THE STRUCTURAL ELEMENT
Eurocode 2-4 calculates the supplementary reinforcement
to prevent concrete breakouts. Transferring the loads to 𝑙1 𝑙2
the rebars creates additional tension that must be
equilibrated.

To ensure structural stability, the loads on supplementary

reinforcement should be transferred to the structural
element using rebar theory.

In PROFIS Engineering, the necessary splice length is

also provided, as information to the engineer:
(Eurocode 2-1-1)

IMPORTANT:
If there’s no sufficient reinforcement length to transfer the reinforcement loads,
then a concrete breakout body would still develop at the end of the reinforcement!
This cannot be checked by PROFIS, as it would be necessary to model the full
structure.
