Fixed Column Base Connection - Anchorage Arrangement

Define a Fixed Column Base connection - EN 1993-1-8:2005/AC:2009

I am analysing a circular column (with stiffeners) on a square base plate.

I am struggling to model the attached anchor bolt arrangement using the available input parameters:

• Number of rows
• Number of columns
• Vertical spacing
• Horizontal spacing

Can the attached anchor bolt arrangement be modelled in ROBOT? If so, how?

Thanks

Further to the above query:

Foundation reinforcement input is not available in the "Define a Fixed Column Base Connection" input window. The foundation reinforcement influences various concrete fastening limit states (e.g. concrete cone failure, pry-out failure, splitting failure etc.). I wish the software to consider the foundation reinforcement in its calculation of the Eurocode and CEB limit state design verifications. Is this possible? If so, how may I model the reinforcement of the concrete foundation for the fixed column base connection?

Many thanks
