Anchoring: Anchoring
Device for locking, in a structure, a reinforcement, a connector, or a dowel, subjected to tensile stress and shear stress.
Reinforcing bars
Steel elements embedded in concrete to give it tensile strength. All the reinforcement bars in a reinforced concrete construction element constitute the reinforcement.
Bush-hammered concrete: Roughed concrete
Concrete whose surface has undergone mechanical treatment after hardening by hammering with a pointed tool called a bush hammer. The surface appearance varies depending on the depth of the hammering and the type of bush hammer used.
Concrete compression strut
In modeling the behavior of reinforced concrete, the compressed concrete zone is generally oblique...
