Abstract:
The successful use of adhesive anchors to make connections to concrete structures requires close attention to installation procedures. As recognized by the International Building Code, inspection is an important step toward ensuring that the manufacturer’s recommended installation procedures are followed. Proper installation techniques and associated inspections necessary for both capsule and cartridge type adhesive anchors to achieve their reported performance are reiterated.
