The design of fastenings in concrete is traditionally performed using force-based method, where the design load for the fastening is calculated corresponding to different possible failure modes and the lowest value defines the allowable load that can be applied for the anchorages [1,2,3,4]
In case of reinforced concrete frame structures, the physical dimensions of the structural members could be rather limited leading to a limited area to transfer the tension forces from the fasteners into the concrete member

Urgent Need for a Performance-Based Approach for Seismic Assessment and Design of Fastenings Used in Structural Applications. The design of fastenings in concrete is traditionally performed using force-based method, where the design load for the fastening is calculated corresponding to different possible failure modes and the lowest value defines the allowable load that can be applied for the anchorages [1,2,3,4]. The fasteners in concrete are subjected to relatively strong demands of cycling tension and shear loads as well as opening and closing of cracks intercepting the fasteners (Figure 1)
