Cliveland Clinic Anchor

Abu Dhabi UAE

This model was created using the ANSYS software in

which a 1856 Shell elements were used to model the

structure. The model was then loaded and constrained

as following:

Fx = 70155 N (28600 N acts on node 30 along lateral

direction + 4236 kg as a Seismic load  acts along lateral

direction).
Fy = 79798 N (38243 N acts on node 350 along vertical

direction + 4236 kg as a Seismic load  acts along vertical

direction).

Fz = 222472 N (75210 N acts on node 350 along longitudinal direction + 30023 LBS as a Seismic load  acts along longitudinal direction).
Mx = 5565 N.m
My = 161965 N.m
Mz = 2226 N.m
Nodes represent the interface surface between the anchor structure and concrete were only constrained not to move along the vertical direction.
Nodes represent the anchor bolts were constrained in all directions.
