In the context of reinforced concrete, "anchorage" refers to the method of securing or fixing the reinforcement bars (rebar) to ensure they properly develop their intended strength and load-carrying capacity. Effective anchorage is crucial for the structural integrity of reinforced concrete elements, as it helps transfer loads between the concrete and the steel reinforcement, preventing failure.
