Suspended Anchorage to Concrete

In suspension bridges, large main cables (normally two) hang between the towers and are anchored at each end to the ground. … The tension on the main cables is transferred to the ground at the anchorages and by downwards compression on the towers.

Anchorage or fastenings in concrete construction refers to the means to connect a structural or non-structural component to a concrete structure. … The fastener is used to transmit the loads applied on a structural or non-structural component to inside the concrete member.
