What it does
AnchorDesign360™ is an engineering calculation and design assistance tool for post-installed reinforcement and bonded anchors. It verifies end anchorages, lap splices and base-plate anchorages, and compares the qualified products of all encoded manufacturers side by side for the same design situation.
Design methods
All calculations are performed strictly according to the published design codes and assessment methods:
- EN 1992-1-1 (Eurocode 2) — anchorage and lap lengths of reinforcement;
- EOTA TR 069 — design of post-installed reinforcing bar connections with improved bond-splitting behaviour;
- EOTA TR 023 — post-installed reinforcing bar connections designed with EN 1992-1-1 provisions;
- EN 1992-4 — design of fastenings for use in concrete (bonded anchors and anchor rods).
Product data — official ETAs only
Every product parameter used by the software is taken exclusively from the officially published European Technical Assessment (ETA) of the respective product. No manufacturer datasheets, brochures or estimated values are used. Where an ETA does not declare a value for a configuration, that configuration is reported as outside the assessed scope rather than extrapolated.

— the product holds no assessment for that design route: the software reports it as not applicable instead of calculating. 1 No EAD 332402 (TR 069) assessment exists; for this product only, the end-anchorage route runs with conservative substitute bond parameters (marked TR 069* in the results) — a lower-bound estimate, not ETA-declared data. ETAs are revised by their issuing bodies from time to time — always confirm the design against the current issue of the product’s ETA, which prevails over the values encoded here.
Responsibility
The software supports, but does not replace, the judgement of a qualified structural engineer. Input data, the applicability of the chosen design method and the final design remain the user’s responsibility.
