Abstract: The article focuses on a parametric study examining how the geometry of steel anchors affects stress distribution and crack initiation in concrete. It highlights the significance of anchor design in structural integrity, particularly addressing concrete cone failure, which is a brittle failure mode associated with anchors under tensile loading. The study employs the finite element method to analyze tangential stress around the anchor and finds that deeper embedment and larger outer radii of anchors lead to a flatter crack propagation angle, enhancing the system's resistance to failure. The findings suggest that these geometric factors should be considered in the design and assessment of anchor-concrete systems. [Extracted from the article]
