355 - Anchorage to Concrete


Committee Mission: Develop and report information on anchorage to concrete.

Goals: 1) Submit to TAC in 2023 a revision of Qualification of Post-Installed Mechanical Anchors in Concrete - Code and Commentary (ACI 355.2-22). 2) Submit to TAC in 2023 a revision of Qualification of Post-Installed Adhesive Anchors in Concrete - Code and Commentary (ACI 355.4-19(21)). 3) Submit to TAC in 2023 a new standard: Qualification of Post-Installed Reinforcing Bar Systems - Code and Commentary (ACI 355.X-ZZ). 4) Draft recommendations for testing and design standards to address systems, conditions of use, and design issues not addressed in ACI 355.2, ACI 355.4 and ACI 318 such as post-installed reinforcing bars, inorganic bonding systems, design for fire, and explicit calculation of anchor strength associated with splitting failure. 5) Maintain databases for anchor test results. 6) Support task groups to update and maintain current 355 standards and to address ongoing questions of interest to the Committee.
