Analysis of load carrying capacity and destruction mechanism of an intermediate anchorage steel plate for pillar jib crane

Pillar jib cranes are often mounted to existing floors with the use of an intermediate anchorage steel plate instead of using independent foundations, what is shown in the figure. Standards for steel design provide only basic rules for the design of such an intermediate plate. This study presents a simple design approach by using a numerical model in order to analyze different parameters that have significant influence in the anchorage of a interme-diate steel plate to a concrete floor. The goal was to show how to safely design a intermedi-ate plate but also to highlight important design parameters and also to present possible failure mechanisms in reference to the main design parameters.
