Abstract

The structural behaviour of anchor blocks is briefly outlined, followed by design instructions for anchor blocks on both rectangular and non-rectangular members. Additional design considerations included are: forces due to curved cables, influence of support reaction, anchorages near corners, and bearing stresses behind anchor plates. Requirements for primary, secondary (or equilibrium), and end face steel reinforcement are given. A detailed design example shows how the recommendations in the Guide can be used.
