EN4302/ENT603 COURSEWORK 2020-21 Undertake an analysis of the anchorage plate shown below using the Matlab FE program developed during the course*. Include only the anchorage plate in the analysis and apply the pin load (Pservice) as a series of point loads to the inside of the eye in the plate (i.e. the circular hole). Consider first the response of the plate to the service load (Pservice) and then compute the maximum load Pult that the plate could accommodate without yielding. The plate geometry and material properties are given in the diagram below. There is a simplified version of the coursework is given on the next sheet Write a report on your work which; describes the analysis and associated assumptions; presents the results in a clear precise manner; describes the checks undertaken to ensure that the analysis results are valid; discusses the accuracy of your solution; gives the maximum value of the cable force that can be applied without the anchorage plate yielding (i.e. Pult); makes a recommendation on whether or not the design of the anchorage plate is adequate; draws clear conclusions from the work. The maximum length of the report is 4 pages. The minimum font size is 11 and the minimum margin size is 20mm. Note; if the report exceeds 4 pages, only the first four pages will be marked. The deadline for the coursework hand-in is 16:00 Thursday 17th December 2020: please submit using the relevant Learning Central Assignment. This must be an independent piece of work. * A version of

CARRIES A MAXIMUM OF 75% Undertake an analysis of the plate shown below using the Matlab FE program developed during the course*. Consider the response of the plate to the service load (P=Pservice) and check if any yielding would occur at this load level. The plate geometry and material properties are given in the diagram below. Write a report on your work which; describes the analysis and associated assumptions; presents the results in a clear way; describes the checks undertaken to ensure that the analysis results are valid; discusses the accuracy of your solution; states if the plate would yield under the service load; draws some conclusions from the work. * A version of the code with the contouring routine will be made available to anyone that asks All dimensions in mm E = 210000 MPa = 0.3 fy =355 MPa Pservice = 800kN Vertical and tangential loads are applied evenly to the upper surface ANCHORAGE PLATE SIDE ELEVATION 300 125 90 Tangential load 0.707P Vertical load = 0.707P Fully fixed base
