PD CEN/TR 17080:2018 provides design rules and specifications for anchor channels in concrete structures. It specifically covers anchor channels subjected to tensile and shear loads, either individually or in combination. However, it does not address shear loads acting in the direction of the channel's longitudinal axis, combinations of shear and transverse loads, combinations of tensile and longitudinal shear loads, or loads in all three directions. Additionally, this standard does not cover fatigue, impact, or seismic loads.

The document focuses on anchor channels with two or three anchors and provides design rules for static and quasi-static shear loads acting in the longitudinal axis of the channel, as well as combinations of shear and tension loads. It also includes provisions for anchor channels with supplementary reinforcement to withstand shear loads, in addition to the EN 1992-4:2018 requirements.

The standard considers all relevant failure modes and provides guidelines for anchor channel design with European Technical Product Specifications. The design provisions include situations where the shear load is transferred to the channel through locking channel bolts or serrated channel bolts that interlock with the channel lips. Anchor channels made from steel with rigidly connected metal anchors are also covered.

Furthermore, the standard addresses anchor channels placed parallel or transverse to the concrete edge, but does not cover inclined channel orientations concerning concrete edge failure. The design methodology for anchor channels loaded in shear follows a similar approach to that used for headed fasteners, with specific modifications as required.

Figure 1 in the document provides examples of anchor channels and channel bolts that ensure mechanical interlock.
