Design and detailing of handrail anchorages in concrete structures must consider both structural performance and susceptibility to corrosion. Without these dual considerations, handrail anchorages are more likely to fail. For decades, premature corrosion of handrail anchorage components was prevalent in the concrete industry. Deterioration of the anchor embedments due to galvanic corrosion, direct exposure of aluminum to concrete, or insufficient concrete cover resulted in costly repairs. …
