Laboratory Testing of Anchors connecting Steel Track to Concrete with minimum Edge Distance

The behavior of Cold Formed Steel Sill Plates attached close to the concrete edge using adhesive anchor system HIT-RE 500-SD was evaluated in static and cyclic shear tests parallel to the edge. The ductility of the system was to be assessed.

Anchoring in Cracked Concrete, Building Code Requirements and Strength Design

(by Christian Fogstad, P.E., CDT, Martin Sailer, Gerald Marxer, Hilti)

This article discusses cracked concrete, mostly post-installed anchorage to cracked concrete. It outlines how the new IBC 2003(6) building code references ACI 318 model code, particularly ACI 318-D. It offers information regarding ICC-ES's acceptance criteria and product approvals and how these are related to ACI 318-D. It reviews Hilti's current product offerings with ICC-ES AC193 approvals and Hilti's design software PROFIS.

Building Codes and Anchoring to Concrete

(by Richard E. Wollmershauser, P.E., FACI, Hilti)

The Codes are changing; what you should know to keep up! ACI 318 and the IBC 2000 are two codes that will implement a concept called the Concrete Capacity Design Method... What will it mean for the use of anchors in the future?

Anchors Used in Conjunction with Fire Resistive Construction

Current Evaluation Reports issued by ICC ES (formerly ICBO ES) contain restrictive language regarding the use of anchors in conjunction with fire resistive construction. At our request, ICC has drafted a code opinion (see below) in an attempt to clarify the intent of the code (UBC and IBC) in this regard.

Types of Anchors for Anchoring to Concrete

(by Richard E. Wollmershauser, P.E., FACI, Hilti)

"Everything you wanted to know about types of anchors for use in concrete (well almost everything)... Before reviewing the various types of anchors, it is appropriate to present the types of loads that anchors must resist and mechanisms for load-transfer from anchor to concrete."
