Description

This course provides a foundational understanding of anchorage to concrete, focusing on the behavior, classification, and design of both cast-in-place and post-installed anchors. Participants will explore the principles of anchor performance under tension, shear, and combined loading, as governed by ACI 318-19 Chapter 17. The course also covers anchor qualification requirements and highlights how installation quality, especially for adhesive anchors, significantly impacts structural reliability. Participants will leave with a practical appreciation of anchor design and the importance of proper selection and placement in structural applications.
