Consumption

Application Steps

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

Mortar and concrete must be older than 28 days. Substrate strength (concrete, masonry, natural stone) must be verified. Pull-out tests must be carried out if the substrate strength is unknown. The anchor hole must always be clean, dry, free from oil and grease etc. Loose particles must be removed from the holes.
Threaded rods and rebars have to be cleaned thoroughly from any oil, grease or any other substances and particles such as dirt etc.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Tools must be cleaned as soon as possible with a clean rag.

System Structure

Tensile Adhesion Strength

The above values represent mean ultimate values and allowable working loads. The allowable working loads have been reduced using a safety factor of 4.0 for tension and 3.0 for shear, however, in some cases, such as life safety, safety factors of 10.0 or higher may be necessary.
Allowable loads must be checked against steel capacity. The lowest value controls.
Tabulated data is applicable to single anchors in normal weight concrete unaffected by edge or spacing reduction factors. Values are valid for anchors installed into dry concrete in holes drilled with a hammer drill and ANSI carbide drill bit.
Service temperatures should remain approximately constant. The maximum long term temperature being 122 °F and the maximum short term temperature being 176 °F. Short term temperatures are those that occur over brief intervals, for example, diurnal cycling.
Linear interpolation is allowed.

Design Considerations

Allowable Tension, N_all = 0.33 x f_u x nominal cross sectional area
Allowable Shear, V_all = 0.17 x f_u x nominal cross section area
