Abstract:
This paper presents the results of extensive numerical and experimental work performed to establish a behavioral model that provides the basis for developing design provisions for anchorages to concrete using adhesive bonded anchors. These types of anchorage systems are used extensively, yet they are currently excluded from the design provisions of ACI 318. The behavioral model is compared with a worldwide database containing 415 tests on adhesive anchor groups, 133 tests of adhesive anchors located near a free edge, and accompanying baseline single anchor tests used to establish the relationship between the results of the group and edge tests and the behavior of isolated single anchors.
