Chapter 4
Post-Installed Anchor Design
Publication: Anchorage Design for Petrochemical and Other Industrial Facilities
Abstract
The term post-installed anchor is used to describe devices installed in holes drilled in hardened concrete for the purpose of transferring loads into the concrete. Post-installed anchor types explored in this chapter include expansion anchors, undercut anchors, and screw anchors, as well as grouted and bonded (adhesive) anchors. Qualification requirements for post-installed anchors to be used to resist seismic loads in a structure assigned to Seismic Design Category C, D, E, or F are discussed. These involve the performance of specific tests and application of acceptance criteria for qualification and determination of relevant design parameters. Applications of post-installed reinforcing bar connections that are common in construction are explored including column and slab extensions, foundation augmentation, wall thickening, and slab-to-wall connections.
