Design post-installed rebar for lap splices, end anchorages, or concrete overlays using a variety of methods including AS3600 and AEFAC TN08 v2.

With multiple design options, switching between design resources can be complicated and time consuming. PROFIS Engineering’s newest Concrete-to-Concrete design modules bring together code compliant design methods to help simplify post-installed rebar designs.

Various design methods are included in the PROFIS Engineering Concrete-to-Concrete modules

The Concrete-to-Concrete modules have different connection types available for design

Lap Splice and End Anchorage Designs 

• Lap Splice

The lap splice selection is for connections where post installed rebar will splice with existing rebar.
 
The software provides the lap splice length depending on the yield strength of the bars. When a shear load is applied, the interface shear calculations will be provided when the “Interface shear check” box is selected. The software utilizes AS3600 when this connection type is selected, which designs for bars to their full yield strength. 

• End Anchorage

Designers can now design end anchorage connection types based on the newly released AEFAC TN08 v2, which is based on the improved bond-splitting behaviour. Post-installed rebars do not have to be spliced with existing rebars, and do not have to be designed to their full yield strength, which would result in more economical and customized designs. 
 
When using this design method, AEFAC TN08 v2 checks for steel failure, concrete cone failure, and the combined bond-splitting failure. The bond-splitting model for post-installed rebars is ETA based and needs to be assess based on EAD 332402. 

Concrete overlay



When thickening or extending a wall, beam, or slab, design for interface shear based on the internationally recognized technical report TR066. Concrete overlay is another ETA based design method, which is based on EAD 332347.
