PREFACE
Evaluation reports issued by ICC Evaluation Service, Inc. (ICC-ES), are based upon performance features of the International family of codes and other widely adopted code families, including the Uniform Codes, the BOCA National Codes, and the SBCCI Standard Codes. Section 104.11 of the International Building Code reads as follows: The provisions of this code are not intended to prevent the installation of any materials or to prohibit any design or method of construction not specifically prescribed by this code, provided that any such alternative has been approved. An alternative material, design or method of construction shall be approved where the building official finds that the proposed design is satisfactory and complies with the intent of the provisions of this code, and that the material, method or work offered is, for the purpose intended, at least the equivalent of that prescribed in this code in quality, strength, effectiveness, fire resistance, durability and safety. Similar provisions are contained in the Uniform Codes, the National Codes, and the Standard Codes. This acceptance criteria has been issued to provide all interested parties with guidelines for demonstrating compliance with performance features of the applicable code(s) referenced in the acceptance criteria. The criteria was developed and adopted following public hearings conducted by the ICC-ES Evaluation Committee, and is effective on the date shown above. All reports issued or reissued on or after the effective date must comply with this criteria, while reports issued prior to this date may be in compliance with this criteria or with the previous edition. If the criteria is an updated version from the previous edition, a solid vertical line (|) in the margin within the criteria indicates a technical change, addition, or deletion from the previous edition. A deletion indicator () is provided in the margin where a paragraph has been deleted if the deletion involved a technical change. This criteria may be further revised as the need dictates. ICC-ES may consider alternate criteria, provided the report applicant submits valid data demonstrating that the alternate criteria are at least equivalent to the criteria set forth in this document, and otherwise demonstrate compliance with the performance features of the codes. Notwithstanding that a product, material, or type or method of construction meets the requirements of the criteria set forth in this document, or that it can be demonstrated that valid alternate criteria are equivalent to the criteria in this document and otherwise demonstrate compliance with the performance features of the codes, ICC-ES retains the right to refuse to issue or renew an evaluation report, if the product, material, or type or method of construction is such that either unusual care with its installation or use must be exercised for satisfactory performance, or if malfunctioning is apt to cause unreasonable property damage or personal injury or sickness relative to the benefits to be achieved by the use of the product, material, or type or method of construction. Acceptance criteria are developed for use solely by ICC-ES for purpose of issuing ICC-ES evaluation reports. Copyright 2009
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR MECHANICAL ANCHORS IN CONCRETE ELEMENTS (AC193)

1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose: The purpose of this criteria is to establish requirements for recognition of mechanical anchors in concrete elements in ICC Evaluation Service, Inc. ( ICC-ES), evaluation reports under the 2006 International Building Code , the BOCA National Building Code/1999 (BNBC), the 1999 Standard Building Code and the 1997 Uniform Building Code. Bases of recognition are IBC Section 104.11, BNBC Section 106.4, SBC Section 103.7 and UBC Section 104.2.8. The reason for development of this criteria is to allow for recognition of the use of mechanical anchors in concrete, since the prescriptive requirements of Chapter 19 of the IBC and Chapter 19 of the UBC need supplemental procedures for establishing the structural capacities of mechanical anchors used to create connections between structural concrete and attachments. 1.2 Scope: This criteria applies to mechanical anchors used to resist loads in cracked and uncracked normalweight or structural lightweight concrete, including concrete-filled metal deck floor and roof assemblies. The criteria calls for assessment of load capacity, reliability, service conditions, design procedures, and quality control. Special inspection is required during anchor installation, as noted in Section 5.4 of this criteria. Additional statements regarding scope are within Chapters 1 and 3 of ACI 355.2. 1.3 Codes and Reference Standards: 1.3.1 2006 International Building Code (IBC), International Code Council. 1.3.2 1.3.3 1.3.4

4.1 Test Sequence Perform four types of tests in the following sequence: 1. Identification tests to evaluate the anchors compliance with the critical characteristics (Chapter 6); 2. Reference tests to establish baseline performance against which subsequent tests are to be compared (Chapter 7); 3. Reliability tests to confirm the reliability of the anchor under adverse installation procedures and long-term use (Chapter 8); and 4. Service-condition tests to evaluate the performance of the anchor under expected service conditions (Chapter 9). Test requirements are summarized in Tables 4.1 and 4.2. Determine the acceptability of the anchor using the criteria prescribed in Chapter 6 through 9. Determine the anchor category (an index of the anchors sensitivity to conditions of
A6
installation and use) using the criteria prescribed in Chapter 10. Report the lowest anchor category by diameter as prescribed in Chapter 11. For anchors with multiple embedment depths, refer to Table 5.7. Exception: For anchors qualified exclusively for redundant applications, test requirements are summarized in Table 4.3. Determine the acceptability of the anchor using the criteria prescribed in Chapters 6 through 9. Determine the anchor category (an index of the anchors sensitivity to conditions of installation and use) using the criteria prescribed in Chapter 10. For anchors with multiple embedment depths, refer to Table 5.7. 4.2.2 For anchor systems supplied with different materials, pretensioning application mechanisms, or coatings, or that are manufactured with different production methods, perform the torque tests in accordance with Section 9.7.4. If the results do not meet the requirements of Section 9.7.4.2, perform the complete test program for each anchor material, coating, production method, or pretensioning application mechanism. 4.2.3 The sample size given in Tables 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 are the minimum required to satisfy the requirements of the standard. At the discretion of the independent testing and evaluation agency or manufacturer, the sample size shall be permitted to be increased. 4.3Testing by Manufacturer The required minimum number of reference and reliability and at least 50% of the service-condition test series given in Table 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 of AC193 shall be performed by the independent testing and evaluation agency (Section 12.0) in their facility. Not more than 50% of the sample tested for each service-condition test series required by ACI 355.2 shall be permitted to be performed by the manufacturer. All such tests shall be witnessed by an independent accredited testing laboratory. Additional results of tests performed by the manufacturer shall be permitted to be considered in the evaluation. All tests performed by the manufacturer shall be permitted to be considered only if the results are statistically equivalent to those of the independent testing and evaluation agency (Section 2.1.12). The number of tests conducted by the manufacturer shall not exceed the number of tests by the independent accredited testing laboratory.
4.4Changes to Product Before an anchor is changed, the manufacturer shall report the nature and significance of the change to the independent test and evaluation agency (Chapter 12.0), who shall determine which tests (if any) shall be performed. 4.4.1 Tests for determining equivalence of expansion and undercut anchors of different production methods, materials, coatings, or prestressing mechanisms (for example, bolt versus nut; head configuration). 4.4.1.1 Determine the pretensioning forces in the anchors of different production methods, materials, coatings, or prestressing mechanisms according to the procedure of Section 9.7.2 at 0.5 Tinst and Tinst of the anchors of the same diameters and embedments. The torques may be different to give the same pretensioning force. 4.4.1.2 RequirementReference and shear tests (Test 1, 2, and 14 of Table 4.1; Test 1, 2, 3, 4, 17 and optionally 18 and 19 of Table 4.2; and Test 1, 2 and 12 of Table 4.3) shall be performed on the anchors of different production methods, materials, coatings, or prestressing mechanisms and shall show statistical equivalency to the original product. 4.4.1.3 RequirementReliability and service condition tests may be omitted if the following conditions are met:
4.4.1.3.1 Prestressing forces at 0.5 Tinst and 1.0 Tinst are statistically equivalent; 4.4.1.3.2 The geometry of the anchors is identical except for head configuration: 4.4.1.3.3 For torquecontrolled expansion anchors, the friction between cone and sleeve (internal friction) and the friction between sleeve and concrete (external friction) are identical. This condition shall be considered to be fulfilled if the anchors are made out of the same material, any coatings are the same, and the surface roughness and hardness of the cone and the sleeve are statistically equivalent. In addition, for anchors made out of different materials (e. g. galvanized and corrosion resistant steel) the internal friction between cone and sleeve will mainly depend on a coating. 4.4.1.3.4 For displacement-controlled expansion anchors, the degree of expansion of partial and reference expansion are statistically equivalent; and 4.4.1.3.5 For undercut anchors, the undercut of the concrete shall be identical in both models for full and partial expansion. In addition, an undercut anchor that gives a follow-up expansion during loading shall comply with the requirements for torque-controlled expansion anchors in Section 4.4.1.3.3.
A7
4.4.1.4 If the requirements of Section 4.4.1.2 and 4.4.1.3 are not met, test the anchors of different production methods, materials, coatings, or prestressing mechanisms in accordance with Table 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3. 4.4.2 Test for determining equivalence of screw anchors of different production methods, materials, or coatings. 4.4.2.1 For screw anchors of different production methods, materials, or coatings, establish a maximum setting torque, Tscrew. Perform testing in accordance with the procedures of Section 8.8, on anchors of the same diameters and embedments. 4.4.2.2 RequirementMaximum setting torque, Tscrew, shall comply with requirements of Section 8.8.
4.4.2.3 RequirementReference and shear tests (Test 1, 2, and 14 of Table 4.1; Test 1, 2, 3, 4, 17 and optionally 18 and 19 of Table 4.2; and Test 1, 2, 3 and 12 of Table 4.3) shall be performed on the screw anchors of different production methods, materials, or coatings and shall show statistical equivalency to the original product. Additionally, the tests for reliability of screw anchors for brittle failure (Table 4.1 Test 8, Table 4.2, Test 11 and Test 8, Table 4.3) and reliability under repeated load (Table 4.1, Test 7 and Table 4.2, Test 10) shall be performed. 4.4.2.4 If the requirements of Section 4.4.2.2 and 4.4.2.3 are not met, test the screw anchors of different production methods, material, or coatings in accordance with Table 4.1 or 4.2.
5.1.3 Concrete strengthTest anchors in test members cast of concrete within two nominal compressive strength ranges, based on compressive strength specimens prepared and tested in accordance with ASTM C 31 and ASTM C 39 (see Appendix A3.3.1). The compressive strength of the cylinders shall be within these ranges: Low-strength concrete: 2,500 to 4,000 psi (17 to 28 MPa); High-strength concrete: 6,500 to 8,500 psi (45 to 60 MPa).
5.2.1.1 Install anchors according to the manufacturer's instructions, except as otherwise prescribed in ACI 355.2. Report any deviations. The verification of alternative hole drilling methods such as diamond core drilling shall be in accordance with Section 5.2.4. 5.2.3.2.1 For the reliability tests performed with reduced installation effort (Table 4.1, Test 4, Table 4.2, Test 6 and Table 4.3, Test 4), install and set the anchor with a setting torque of 0.5 Tinst. Do not reduce the torque from this amount. 5.2.3.3.1 Partial expansionSet a minimum of five anchors using the weight and number of drops from Table 5.5 for partial expansion. For each anchor, measure the depth of the plug from the upper end of the anchor. Calculate the average depth of the plug for the set anchors. Modify (shorten) the manufacturers setting tool to provide the calculated setting depth. Use this setting tool for Table 4.1, Test 4, Table 4.2, Test 6 and Table 4.3, Test 4. 5.2.3.3.2 Reference expansionPrepare a setting tool for tests 5, 6 and 7 of table 4.1, Test 7, 8 and 9 of Table 4.2, or Tests 5, 6, and 7 of Table 4.3 using the same method described in 5.2.3.1, but using the number of drops for evaluation of reference expansion from Table 5.5. 5.2.3.4 Setting of undercut anchorsInstall undercut anchors as specified in Table 5.6. Table 5.6 provides for combinations of parameters for various undercut anchor types. In other tests prescribed in Tables 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, drill a cylindrical hole with a diameter as given in Tables 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 and produce the undercut as per manufacturers instructions. In tests Table 4.1 Test 4, Table 4.2 Test 6, and Table 4.3 Test 4 set undercut anchors using a combination of the specified setting tolerance that produces the minimum bearing surface in the concrete.
5.2.3.5 Setting of screw anchors 5.2.3.5.1 Permitted setting methods for screw anchors shall be defined by the manufacturer. For those systems that are to be set with a torque wrench, the installation torque Tscrew shall be specified. For those systems set with a machine (impact screw driver, other), the type of machine and maximum power output rating shall be specified. Alternately, the characteristics of acceptable machines in terms of power output shall be specified. 5.2.3.5.2 For all tests in Table 4.1, Tables 4.2 and 4.3 (except Tests 9, 10, and 11 in Table 4.1 and Tests 12, 13, and 14 in Table 4.2 and Test 9, 10 and 11 in Table 4.3), install the screw anchor until the head just contacts the fixture and the fixture can no longer be moved by hand.
A8
For those systems that may be set with either a specified installation torque or with a machine, the anchors shall be set with a torque wrench and the specified installation torque Tscrew shall not be exceeded. If upon the application of the specified installation torque the fixture remains loose, the specified installation torque Tscrew shall either be re-established at a higher level until this condition is satisfied or the anchor shall be deemed unsuitable. For those systems set with a range of machines that satisfy a maximum power output rating specified by the manufacturer, an impact screw driver with maximum power output specified in the manufacturers installation instructions for the anchor size shall be used. The test laboratory shall select the screw driver with maximum power output for this application from the screw drivers on the market fulfilling the specifications of the anchor manufacturer based on its experience or the results of the pre-tests. Following installation of the anchor in accordance with the manufacturers published installation instructions, the fixture shall be checked by hand to determine that it is not loose.
5.2.4 Alternative drilling methodsThe qualification of the anchor for installation with drilling methods other than carbide hammer-drilling shall be predicated on fulfillment of the following requirements. 5.2.4.1 TestsPerform supplemental tests in accordance with Table 5.8 using the alternative drilling method. Install anchors in accordance with the manufacturer's published installation instructions. 5.2.4.2 RequirementsThe results of supplemental tests are required in Section 5.2.4.1 shall be shown to be statistically equivalent to the results of corresponding tests conducted with carbide hammer-drill bits in accordance with this criteria. If this requirement is not met, recognition of the alternate drilling method is dependent on the successful completion of all tests as described in ACI 355.2 with the exception of Test No. 14 in Table 4.1 Test No. 17 in Table 4.2 and Test 12 in Table 4.3.
5.5.1.1 To be acceptable, the tensile load-displacement behavior of single anchors shall be predictable except as noted in 5.5.1.2. Figure 5.2 provides examples of acceptable and unacceptable load-displacement curves for the types of anchors covered by ACI 355.2. For each anchor tested, a load plateau with a corresponding slip greater than 5% of the displacement at ultimate load, or a temporary drop in load, is not acceptable at load levels less than N1. For tests in uncracked concrete, N1 is taken as the smaller of 0.8Nu and Ase fy. For tests in cracked concrete, N1 is taken as the smaller of 0.7Nu and Ase fy. These requirements shall be fulfilled in the reference tests (Tests 1and 2 of Table 4.1 and Tests 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Table 4.2), reliability tests (Tests 4, 5, 6, the initial loading and residual capacity of Test 7 and the residual capacity of Test 8, Method A of Table 4.1 and Tests 6, 7, 8, the residual capacity of Test 9, the initial loading and residual capacity of Test 10 and the residual capacity of Test 11, Method A of Table 4.2), and service condition tests (Tests 12 and 13 of Table 4.1 and Tests 15,16 and the residual capacity of Test 18 of Table 4.2). Exception: For anchors qualified exclusively for redundant application to be acceptable, the tensile load displacement behavior of single anchors shall be predictable except as noted in 5.5.1.2. Figure 5.2 provides examples of acceptable and unacceptable load-displacement curves for the types of anchors within the scope of ACI 355.2. For each anchor tested, a load plateau with a corresponding slip greater than 5% of the displacement at ultimate load, or a temporary drop in load, is not acceptable at load levels less than N1. For test in uncracked and cracked concrete, N1 is taken as the smaller of 0.4 Nu and Ase fy. These requirements shall be fulfilled in the reference tests (Test 1 and 2 of Table 4.3), and the reliability test (Test 4, 5, 6 the initial loading and residual capacity of Test 7, and the residual capacity of Test 8, Method A of Table 4.3)
TABLE 5.8REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTAL TESTS FOR EACH ALTERNATIVE DRILLING METHOD Table Test Nos. Table 4.1 and 4.3* 1,2,4,5, and 6 Table 4.2 1,2,3,4,6,7, and 8
*If the tolerances on the bit diameter do not exceed the limiting values given in Table 5.9, Tests 5 and 6 may be omitted. Tests 7 and 8 may be conducted with a standard core drill bit diameter (medium) if the tolerances on the core drill bit diameter do not exceed the limiting values given in Table 5.9.
5.5.3 Modes of failure The failure modes for tension loading are concrete cone failure, steel fracture, pullout or pullthrough, test member splitting, and side-face blowout. The failure modes for shear loading are steel failure and concrete breakout for anchors located near an edge. Figures 5.3 and 5.4 give examples of these failure modes. Report the failure mode for each individual anchor tested and the strength (k values for concrete, fu, test for steel failure, and Np for pull out and pull-through failure) for each test series. If during a test series different failure modes occur, and one failure mode predominates and other failure modes occur, and are of similar capacities, note the failure modes and failure loads of the test in the test report. Report the average failure load, taking into account all results as the failure load associated with the predominate failure mode.
A9
If no failure ode predominates in a test, test additional anchors to obtain at least five samples for each failure mode and conduct a significant difference test to see if the capacities for the different failure modes are statistically different. Exception: For anchors qualified exclusively for redundant applications, refer to Section 5.5.4 5.5.3.1 If an anchor of a particular diameter has only one embedment depth, then tests are preformed to establish the appropriate data. If steel failure is the only failure mode report fu, test for steel failure, and report the minimum permissible k value for concrete from Table 7.1. Alternatively, to determine k for concrete failure, it shall be permitted to use a shallower embedment depth or a higher-strength steel bolt, as long as it does not affect the functioning of the anchor. Exception: For anchors qualified exclusively for redundant applications, refer to Section 5.5.4. 5.5.3.2 If there is more than one embedment depth specified for an anchor diameter, perform tests according to Table 5.7. Report the respective failure modes and the lowest k value for concrete failure, fu, test for steel failure, and Np for pullout and pull-through failure. Where different failure modes occur in a test series involving a single diameter and different embedment depths, report each observed failure mode and its corresponding characteristic strength. Exception: For anchors qualified exclusively for redundant applications, if there is more than one embedment depth specified for an anchor diameter, perform tests according to Table 5.7. Refer to Section 5.5.4 for additional requirements. 5.5.4 For anchors qualified exclusively for redundant The possible failure modes for tension loading are concrete cone failure, steel fracture, pullout or pull-through, test member splitting, or side-face blowout. The possible failure modes for shear loading are steel failure and concrete breakout for anchors located near an edge. Figures 5.3 and 5.4 provide examples of these failure modes. Report the failure mode for each individual anchor tested and the strength (Nra for tension loading and Vra for shear loading) for each test series.

If the coefficient of variation obtained from the original or cumulative test series does not meet this requirement, the sample size shall be permitted to be increased. If this requirement is not met, the anchor shall be considered unqualified. 7.2.2 Requirements for confined reference testsConfined tests are specified primarily to ensure steel or pull-out failure.

8.1 Purpose Reliability tests are performed to establish that the anchor is capable of safe, effective behavior under normal and adverse conditions, both during installation and in service. The reliability test requirements for uncracked concrete (Table 4.1) and both cracked and uncracked concrete (Table 4.2) are given in this chapter. The reliability test requirements for anchors qualified exclusively for redundant applications (Table 4.3) are also given in this Chapter. The results of the reliability tests shall be used to establish the anchor category in accordance with Chapter 10. 8.2 Reliability testing using reduced installation in effort (Table 4.1, Test 4 and Table 4.2, Test 6 and Table 4.3, Test 4). 8.2.1 PurposeThese reliability tests determine the sensitivity of the anchor to adverse installation conditions. Perform these tests under tension loading. These tests do not apply to screw anchors. 8.2.2 General test conditions In cracked concrete, use a minimum crack-opening width of 0.012 in. (0.3 mm) Exception: For anchors qualified exclusively for redundant applications, use a minimum crack opening width of 0.008 in. (0.2 mm).
8.3 Reliability in low-strength concrete with large drill bit (Table 4.1, Test 5 and Table 4.2, Test 7 and Table 4.3 Test 5). 8.3.1 Purpose These reliability tests are performed in uncracked concrete (Table 4.1) to evaluate the sensitivity of the anchor to low-strength concrete and oversized holes. They are performed in cracked concrete (Table 4.2 or Table 4.3) to evaluate the sensitivity of the anchor to low-strength concrete, oversized holes and opened cracks. 8.3.2 General test conditions Perform tests under tension loading in low-strength concrete for all anchor types with a drill bit of diameter dmax. For anchor tests in cracked concrete, use a minimum crack-opening width of 0.020 in. (0.5 mm). The anchor capacity determined in this test series shall be used to establish the anchor category according to Chapter 10. Exception: For anchors qualified exclusively for redundant applications, use a minimum crack opening width of 0.014 in. (0.35 mm). 8.4 Reliability in high-strength concrete with small drill bit (Table 4.1, Test 6 and Table 4.2, Test 8 and Table 4.3, Test 6). 8.4.2 General test conditions Perform tests under tension loading in high-strength concrete for all anchor types. Use a drill bit of diameter dmin. In cracked concrete tests, use a minimum crack-opening width of 0.020 in. (0.5 mm). The anchor capacity as determined in this test series shall be used to establish the anchor category according to Chapter 10. Exception: For anchors qualified exclusively for redundant applications, use a minimum crack opening width of 0.014 in. (0.35 mm). 8.5 Reliability under repeated load (Table 4.1, Test 7 and Table 4.2, Test 10 for Screw Anchors and Table 4.3, Test 7). 8.5.2.1 Installation of screw anchorsSet the screw anchor on an beveled washer (inclination angle $ 4, hardness $ HRC 38, fixture hole oversize # 1/8) Install the screw anchor in accordance with 5.2.3.5.2. The most adverse head style shall be identified and tested by the agency. The point of maximum dimension of the head shall contact the beveled washer. In cases where the product geometry includes a fillet under the anchor head or where the head is countersunk, the bevel washer shall be modified such that the fillet shall not be in contact with the bevel washer (see Fig. 8.2). The position is shown in Figure 8.3. Following anchor installation, the screw anchor head is permitted to either partially contact the beveled washer (see Figure 8.3.a) or in full contact against the washer (see Figure 8.3b). Any position of the anchor head within and including the extreme positions shown in Figure 8.3 shall be acceptable.

8.5.3 RequirementAnchor displacements shall show a stabilization of movement. The coefficient of variation ,, of the ultimate tension load in any test series shall not exceed 20 percent. The sample size shall be permitted to be increased if the coefficient of variation of the original sample size does not meet this requirement. If this requirement is not met, the anchor shall be considered unqualified. If this requirement is not met, repeat this test with a reduced maximum load until the condition is met. Then reduce the characteristic pullout, pull-through, or steel capacity in proportion to the reduction in the maximum load.

8.6Reliability in cracked concrete where crack width is cycled (Table 4.2, Test 9) 8.6.5 RequirementIn each test, the anchor displacement shall be less than 0.080 in. (2.0 mm) after the initial 20 cycles of crack opening and closing, and less than 0.120 in. (3.0 mm) after 1000 cycles, except as permitted in the following. If the anchor displacement exceeds these limits during the crack cycling portion of the test, it shall be permitted to increase the number of replicates. For a sample size of 10 to 20 replicates, one of the tested anchors shall be permitted to exhibit a maximum displacement of 0.120 in. (3.0 mm) after the initial 20 cycles and 0.160 in. (4.0 mm) after 1000 cycles. For sample sizes larger than 20, 5% of the tested anchors shall be permitted to exhibit these increased displacements. If the requirements are not met, repeat the tests with a reduced sustained tension load, Nw,red, on the anchor until the requirements are met. If the tests are performed with a reduced tension load Nw,red, pullout or pull-through data reported in Table 11.2 shall reflect tests conducted with Nw,red.

The characteristic residual tension capacity, Nb,r, shall be evaluated from the peak loads recorded in the tension tests conducted subsequent to crack cycling as per Section 8.6.4, and shall be used in establishing the anchor category as described in Chapter 10. The coefficient of variation, , of the ultimate tension loads recorded in any test series shall not exceed 20%. The number of replicates may be increased to meet this requirement. If this requirement is not met, the anchor shall be reported as unqualified for cracked concrete. 8.7Reliability of screw anchors for brittle failure (Table 4.1 Test 8 and Table 4.2, Test 11 and Table 4.3, Test 8) 8.7.1 PurposeThese reliability tests are intended to verify sufficient insensitivity to stress-induced hydrogen embrittlement cracking under conditions as may occur in service. This test series is not required for anchors fulfilling the requirements of 8.7.1.1. 8.7.1.1 Pre-qualified concrete screw anchorsAnchor diameters meeting all three items A, B, and C over the entire length of the fastener excluding the length hs (see Figure 8.4) are not sensitive to brittle failure and therefore do not have to be tested: A. Core hardness # 36 HRC B. Case hardness # 55 HRC C. Case depth # 0.02 inches (0.5 mm). Case depth is defined as the depth within the cross section with hardness > 36 HRC. Note: The above given values for hardness and case depth represent upper tolerance limits in manufacturing drawings. To check whether these conditions are fulfilled, measurements shall be performed at least directly below the head, at a distance hs from the tip of the concrete screw and in the middle between those 2 points (see Figure 8.4) on 3 samples per diameter and length from each manufacturing process, material, coating and design. The core hardness shall be measured at a depth of 0.020 inches (0.5 mm) from the shank surface, and the case hardness at least at a depth of 0.002 and 0.010 inch (0.05 and 0.25 mm) from the shank surface, see Figure 8.5. Hardness readings shall be determined using a microhardness indenter (such as Vickers or Knoop) and converted to the Rockwell C scale in accordance with reference ASTM A 370.

Test specimens shall have a core hardness equal to the upper limit of the specified hardness range with a tolerance of +0/-2 HRC. 8.7.2.2.1 Method A Perform 5 tests on all diameters from each manufacturing process, material, coating, and design. Tests shall be conducted at shallow (min hnom) and deep embedments (max hnom) per diameter. For concrete screws with different head forms, anchors with the most adverse head form shall be tested. If the most adverse head form cannot be readily identified, tests with different head forms shall be performed. 8.7.2.2.1.1 The borehole shall be drilled with a medium drill bit diameter dm. The concrete specimen shall be chosen large enough to preclude splitting failure. Alternatively, the specimen can be cast in a steel ring. Only one test per concrete specimen shall be performed at a time unless a concrete specimen is used that can accommodate more than one anchor.

During the test the head of the concrete screw shall be submerged in the fluid. The temperature during the test shall be maintained at 77F 9F (23C 5C). Furthermore the pHvalue shall be kept constant by measuring the pH value after 5 days. If the pH-value exceeds the tolerance value (as might occur due to interaction with the concrete) the solution shall be replaced.
The material of the counter electrode shall be stainless steel or activated titanium. The reference electrode is defined by its composition. Its accuracy should be controlled by calibration with a new electrode (tolerance 20 mV). The tip of the reference electrode should be located at a distance equal to approximately 0.5hnom (see Fig. 8.6) from the concrete surface. This can be achieved by a bore hole depth equal to approximately 0.5hnom. The length of the counter electrode should be equal to approximately hnom. Reference and counter electrode shall be placed in drilled holes with a diameter of approximately 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) larger than the diameter of the electrode. The reference electrode should be located as close as possible to the concrete screw and not farther away than 6 inches (152 mm). The distance between reference electrode and counter electrode shall not exceed 2 inches (51 mm). Before testing, coatings of any kind shall be partially removed in shape of a longitudinal strip to allow hydrogen evolution on the steel surface. The concrete screw shall be subjected to a constant tension load Nsust,con = min{0.7Nu,con,mean , 0.5Nst,mean} over a period of minimum 240 hours. Nu,con,mean is the average ultimate tensile load of the confined reference tests, multiplied

During the duration of the test, a constant electrochemical potential shall be established and shall be held constant with potentiostatic control or by other appropriate means at -1200 mV 20 mV (SCE) measured against a saturated calomel electrode (SCE). A suggested test setup is shown in Figure 8.7. Other types of electrodes (e.g. Ag/AgCl) may be used with appropriate correction of the potential. Following the constant load portion of the test, unload the concrete screw and perform a confined tension test to failure (Nu,con,res) using the test set-up as shown in Fig. 7.1. 8.7.2.2.1.2 RequirementsDuring the constant load portion of the test (240 hours), no anchor shall fail. The load displacement behavior as observed in the residual tension test shall conform to the requirements of Section 5.5.1.1. The failure load shall be compared to confined reference tension tests. The ratio of the residual failure loads and the reference test results shall be used to establish the anchor category as described in Chapter 10.

A suggested test setup is shown in Figure 8.8. 8.7.2.2.2.2RequirementsDuring the constant load portion of the test (100 hours), no anchor shall fail. If concrete failure occurs the test shall be repeated. The load displacement behavior as observed in the residual tension tests shall conform to the requirements of Section 5.5.1.1. The failure load shall be compared to reference tension tests according toTable 4.1, Test 2, Table 4.2, Test 2 or Table 4.3, Test 1.

8.7.2.2.3 Method B 8.7.2.2.3.1 This test method applies to concrete screw anchors that can be loaded in tension or bending during installation and in service. This test method is limited to evaluating hydrogen induced embrittlement due to processing (IHE) and environmental exposure (EHE). This test method is limited to ferrous fasteners that are susceptible to time-delayed fracture caused by the diffusion of hydrogen under stress. A four-point bend specimen undergoes sustained load and slow strain rate testing by using incremental loads and hold times under displacement control to measure a threshold stress in an accelerated manner in accordance with Test Method ASTM F 1624. The test is an accelerated incrementally increasing step load test method that measures the threshold for hydrogen stress cracking.

Test specimens shall have a core hardness equal to the upper limit of the specified hardness range with a tolerance of +0/-2 HRC. A separate series of tests under Method B are not required for different fastener lengths having the same base metal, diameters, thread configurations, coating and hardness profiles. Specimens shall be ultrasonically cleaned in acetone for 5 to 10 minutes to remove any contaminants such as oils and dirt. Acid cleaning shall not be allowed. Test specimens shall be cut from the randomly selected samples as shown in Figure 8.9 and such specimens shall be of sufficient length for proper insertion into the gripping devices to achieve the selected four point bending. See Figure 8.10 for an example of a gripping device to achieve the selected four point bending.

FIGURE 8.10EXAMPLE OF FOUR POINT LOAD GRIPPING DEVICE 8.7.2.2.3.5 Summary of Test Method: 8.7.2.2.3.5.1 Mandatory Test: Specimens shall be tested in the hydrogen embrittling environmental conditions specified in ASTM F 1624 using the step load procedure of Section 8 of ASTM F 1624 except as modified herein. A minimum of three tests are required as follows: 1. 2. 3. First test is a 20/5/1 (twenty steps in five percent increments with a 1-hour hold for each step). Second test is a 10/5/2 (first ten steps of the test), followed by a 10/5/4 (second ten steps of the test). Loading is not released during the transition from the 2-hour to 4-hour hold requirement. Third test is a repeat of the second test.
If an invariant value within 5 percent is obtained in two consecutive tests as a result of the completion of the three minimum required tests, no further tests are required. Otherwise, additional tests at longer hold times shall be performed until an invariant value within 5 percent is obtained in two consecutive tests. The loading rate shall be slow enough to ensure that a core threshold will be detected if deleterious amounts of hydrogen are present in "worst case" scenario. The load used for determination of the value of each of the steps (i.e. loads divided by the number of steps) for the first test shall be based on the average value of tensile strength resulting from the three bending (FFS(B) tests in air based upon the minimum diameter cross-section of the fasteners. The load used for determination of the value of each of the steps (i.e. load divided by the number of steps) for each of the subsequent tests shall be 110 percent of the core threshold value determined in the previous test but not more than the load used to establish the steps in the previous test. The lowest core threshold value established by the two consecutive tests used to meet the invariant value requirement from the hydrogen embrittling environmental conditions test shall be autographically recorded in terms of load versus time and included as part of the report required by Section 8.7.2.2.3.8. 8.7.2.2.3.6 Apparatus: 8.7.2.2.3.6.1 Testing Equipment: Testing equipment shall be within the guidelines of calibration, force range, resolution, and verification of ASTM E 4. 8.7.2.2.3.6.2 Gripping Devices: Various types of gripping devices may be used for the four-point bending to transmit the measured load applied by the testing equipment to the test specimen. Figure 8.10 illustrates an example of a four point gripping device. 8.7.2.2.3.6.3 Test Environment: The test shall be conducted in an aggressive hydrogen producing environment by imposing a cathodic galvanic potential in salt water contained in an appropriate inert container. 8.7.2.2.3.6.3.1 Potentiostatic Control: The corrosion potential of the specimen shall be controlled with a reference Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE) or equivalent reference electrode such as Ag/AgCl in accordance with ASTM G 5. The imposed potential is cathodic and shall be set at -1.2 0.025 V versus SCE (VscE) in a 3.5 percent by weight NaCl solution. 8.7.2.2.3.7 Calculations: Calculations shall be in conformance with Section 9 of ASTM F 1624.
A22
8.7.2.2.3.8 Report: A test report shall be produced in accordance with Section 10 of ASTM F 1624 and shall include the audiographic recordings specified in Section 8.7.2.2.3.5.1. 8.7.2.2.3.9 Conditions of Acceptance: The equivalent tensile load calculated from the lowest core threshold value determined in Section 8.7.2.2.3.5.1 shall be not less than 70 percent of the mean tensile load determined using the confined concrete reference test under Table 4.1, Test 3, Table 4.2, Test 5, or Table 4.3, Test 3 for the maximum embedment depth for which recognition is requested. Such reference test values shall be normalized to 7,500 psi (51.7 MPa) concrete if pullout is the dominant failure mode in the reference test. Exception: For anchors qualified exclusively for redundant applications, reference test values shall be normalized to 2,500 psi (17.2 M Pa) compressive strength concrete if pullout is the dominant failure mode in the reference test. In order to compensate for variable moments of inertia due to fastener cross-sectional dimensional variations, the comparison of equivalent tensile load shall be based on a ce/Ie value calculated from the tensile and bending tests of the fasteners outside of an embrittled environment (tested in ambient air).
e e The c /I value is calculated using the relationships as follows:
Bending Test (air)
fb,tensile air = Mmax,airc/I
(8-3)
The value of fb,tensile air used in Eq. 8-3 shall be the average value of three tests. Tension Test (air) ft,tensile air = Pmax air/A (8-4)
The value of ft,tensile air used in Eq. 8-4 shall be the average value of three tests. Solving for ce/Ie as follows: ce/Ie = Pmax air/AMmax,air (8-5)
The ce/Ie value thus determined is then used to convert the lowest core threshold value determined under the step loading in Section 8.7.2.2.3.5 into a tensile stress ftensile,environmental. This value is then used for conversion to a tensile load Pmax environmental using the same A from Eq. 8-4 for the tension test. ftensile,environmental = Mmax environmental (ce/Ie) Pmax environmental = ftensile,environmental (A) Pmax environmental $ 0.70 Pconfined air where: A ce/Ie fb,tensile air ft,tensile air Pmax air Mmax,air ftensile,environmental Pmax environmental Mmax environmental Pconfined air = = = = = = = = = = the least cross-sectional area of the fastener along the length of the test specimen, in2 2 (mm ). computed equivalent c/I value based on Eq. 8-5 using the relationships shown in Eq. 8-3 4 4 and Eq. 8-4 for bending and tension respectively, in./in (mm/mm ). maximum tensile stress determined from the bending test performed in air (See FFS(B) definition in Section 8.7.2.2.3), psi (MPa). maximum tensile stress determined from the tension test performed in air.

Purpose and General Conditions
9.1.1 Minimum member thicknessThe manufacturer shall specify the minimum member thickness, hmin, corresponding to each anchor diameter and embedment depth, subject to fulfillment of the requirements in Sections 9.2 and 9.3. Optionally,
A25
hmin shall be determined by installation tests described in Section 9.1.2. In no case shall hmin be less than the drilled hole depth + h whereby h = 2 d0 $ 1.25 in. (30 mm). Exception: For anchors qualified exclusively for redundant applications, hmin shall be greater of 2 hef or 4 inches (102 mm). Section 9.1.2 and 9.1.3 are not applicable. 9.1.2 Optionally, the minimum specified member thickness, hmin, shall be permitted to be determined by separate installation tests. A minimum of 10 installation tests shall be performed for the maximum embedment depth, hef, associated with each anchor diameter to show that drilling of the hole and installation (e.g., setting, torquing) of the anchor do not result in cracking or breakthrough of the concrete member. Each test shall consist of drilling the hole, setting the anchor and inspecting the test specimen for visible concrete cracking or spalling. For the purpose of these tests, the test member (slab, beam) shall be supported with a shear span length (distance from anchor to support) of not less than 1.5 hef. Drilling equipment and setting procedures shall be representative of normal anchor installation as specified by the anchor manufacturer. 9.1.3 For values of hef for which hmin has not been determined by tests as described in Section 9.1.2, or by supporting the test member during drilling and anchor installation for the tests as described in Sections 9.2 and 9.3, hmin = 2.0 hef but not less than the drilled hole depth + h whereby h = 2d0 $ 1.25 in. (30 mm).
9.2 Service-condition tension test with a single anchor with two edges (corner) (Table 4.1, Test 12 and Table 4.2, Test 15) 9.2.1 PurposeThe purpose of this test is to determine whether the anchor meets the requirement that the critical edge distance shall be # 1.5 hef, in members having the minimum specified thickness, hmin, to be reported for that anchor. Perform tests on single anchors in uncracked, low-strength concrete at a corner with equal edge distances of 1.5 hef and specified test member thickness hmin. If hmin < 2.0 hef, and separate tests as described in Section 9.1.2 have not been performed to establish hmin, the test member (slab or beam) shall be supported with a shear span length (distance from anchor to support) not less than 1.5 hef. Drilling equipment and setting procedures shall be representative of normal anchor installation as specified by the manufacturer. Subsequent to drilling the holes and setting the anchors, the balance of tests in accordance with Section 9.2 shall be permitted to be conducted without supports. 9.2.2 Requirements for critical edge distanceVerify that the drilling of the hole and installation (e.g., setting or torquing) of the anchor do not result in cracking or breakthrough of the concrete member. If cracking or breakthrough of the concrete member occurs in any test, it shall be permitted to increase hmin and to repeat the tests until no cracking or breakthrough occurs in any test. Furthermore, it shall be verified that the critical edge distance # 1.5 hef. The ultimate capacity of the anchor with two edge distances of 1.5 hef shall be statistically equivalent (Section 2.1.12) to the capacity from the reference tests performed away from the edges. For anchors that do not satisfy this requirement, the distance from the two edges shall be increased until the requirement is met. Report the critical edge distance ccr and the corresponding minimum member thickness, hmin, in Table 11.1 or 11.2.
9.3 Service condition test at minimum edge distance and minimum spacing (Table 4.1, Test 13 and Table 4.2, Test 16). 9.3.2 General test conditionsTest all diameters of all anchor types in uncracked, low-strength concrete, with a drill bit of diameter dm. Install two anchors at the minimum spacing smin, and the minimum edge distance cmin, in test members with the minimum thickness hmin, to be reported for the anchor. Place the two anchors in a line parallel to the edge of a concrete test element at a distance of at least 3 hef from other groups. Select the minimum spacing smin, minimum edge distance cmin, and minimum thickness hmin, depending on the characteristics of the anchor. Separate bearing plates shall be permitted to be used for each anchor, to simplify the detection of concrete cracking. The distance to the edge of the bearing plate from the centerline of the corresponding anchor shall be three times the diameter do, of the anchor being tested. If hmin < 2.0 hef, and separate tests as described in Section 9.1.2 have not been performed to establish hmin, the test member (slab, beam) shall be supported with a shear span length (distance from anchor to support) of not less than 1.5 hef. Drilling equipment and setting procedures shall be representative of normal anchor installation as specified by the anchor manufacturer. Subsequent to drilling the holes and setting the anchors, the balance of tests in accordance with Section 9.2 shall be permitted to be conducted without supports. 9.3.3 For torque-controlled anchors and for screw anchors that are either set with an impact screw driver or with a torque wrench, torque (balance of section unchanged) 9.3.4 For load-controlled undercut anchors and for screw anchors that are set with an impact screw driver only, install the anchors according to the manufacturers installation instructions and load the group of two anchors in tension to failure.
A26
9.3.6 RequirementVerify that the drilling of the hole and installation (e.g. setting or torquing) of the anchor do not result in cracking or breakthrough of the concrete member. If cracking or breakthrough of the concrete member occur in any test, it shall be permitted to increase hmin and to repeat the tests until no cracking or breakthrough occurs in any test. For torquecontrolled expansion anchors and for screw anchors that are either set with an impact screw driver or with a torque wrench, the 5 percent fractile of the maximum recorded torque calculated according to Appendix A2 and normalized to fNc = 2,500 lb/in2 (17.2 MPa) by Eq. A 1.1 shall be larger than the lesser of 1.7 Tinst or 1.0 Tinst + 100 ft-lb (138 Nm). For screw anchors, Tinst shall be replaced by Tscrew. If this requirement is not met, repeat the tests with increased values for cmin and for smin until the requirement is met. For displacement-controlled expansion and undercut anchors, and load-controlled undercut anchors and screw anchors that are set with an impact screw driver only, the edge shall not be damaged during the setting process and the characteristic failure load shall be equal to, or greater than, the characteristic resistance for concrete cone breakout failure calculated according to provisions of ACI 318 Appendix D. If the anchors do not meet these requirements, determine cmin and smin according to the following: holding cmin constant, increase smin, install the anchors according to Sections 9.3.3, 9.3.4 or 9.3.5 until no splitting occurs; holding smin constant, increase cmin, install the anchors according to Sections 9.3.3, 9.3.4 or 9.3.5 until no splitting occurs, or increase cmin and smin, install the anchors according to Sections 9.3.3, 9.3.4 or 9.3.5 until no splitting occurs.
Report these minimum edge and spacing distances and the corresponding minimum member thickness hmin, in Table 11.1 or 11.2.
9.4 Service-condition shear test for single anchors without spacing and edge effects (Table 4.1, Test 14, Table 4.2, Test 17, and Table 4.3, Test 12) 9.4.1 PurposeThis test is performed to evaluate the shear capacity of anchors. Perform shear tests in uncracked lowstrength concrete with a drill bit diameter dm for all anchor diameters at minimum embedment hef. At the option of the manufacturer, additional tests shall be permitted to be performed at deeper embmedments. Normalize results in accordance with Appendix A1 and Ccalculate Vst using Appendix A2. Characteristic shear capacities Vst obtained shall be reported in Tables 11.1 and 11.2, where the values are less than those obtained from ACI 318, Appendix D.6.1.2(b) Equation (D-20).

Characteristic shear capacities Vst obtained shall be reported in Table 11.2, where the values are less than those obtained from ACI 318, Appendix D.6.1.2 (b) Equation (D-20). Exception: For anchors qualified exclusively for redundant applications, refer to section 9.4.3 9.4.3 For anchors qualified exclusively for redundant applications, test according to Table 4.3, Test 12 in cracked concrete. Shear tests shall be performed in cracked concrete with a crack width of 0.008 in. (0.2 mm) with the load applied parallel to the crack. Characteristic shear capacities, Vra obtained shall be reported in Table 11.3. 9.5 Service-condition, simulated seismic tension tests (Table 4.2, Test 18)

Following completion of the simulated seismic-tension cycles, open the crack to a width not less than the crack opening width as measured at the end of the cyclic test and load the anchor in tension to failure. Record the maximum tension load (residual tension capacity), the corresponding displacement, and plot the load-displacement response.

Failure of an anchor to develop the required tension resistance in any cycle prior to completing the loading history specified in Table 9.1 and Fig. 9.1 shall be recorded as an unsuccessful test. The mean residual capacity of the anchors in the test series shall be equal to or greater than 160 percent of Neq as given by Eq. (9-1). Successful completion of the cyclic loading history and fulfillment of the residual tension capacity requirement of this Section shall be reported together with an anchor capacity Np, equal to the value determined from the static test results in cracked concrete, to be reported in Table 11.2 for use in cases that include earthquake loading. If the pull-out or pullthrough failure modes do not predominate in the reference tension tests in cracked concrete (Table 4.2, Tests 3 and 4), the basic concrete breakout strength in tension of a single anchor in cracked concrete, Nb, as determined in accordance with ACI 318 shall be reported, whereby the value of k is determined in accordance with Section 7.3. If the anchor fails to fulfill the above requirements at Neq, it shall be permitted to conduct the test with reduced cyclic loads conforming to the loading history specified in Table 9.1 and Fig. 9.1 whereby Neq,reduced, Ni,reduced and Nm,reduced are substituted for Neq, Ni and Nm, respectively.

If the pull-out or pull-through failure modes predominate in the reference tension tests in cracked concrete (Table 4.2, Tests 3 and 4), Np shall be substituted for Nb in Eq. (9-2). Anchors of a given diameter that are tested at shallow and deep embedments as per Table 5.7 shall be evaluated at each embedment depth independently. Evaluation of intermediate embedment depths not tested shall be by linear interpolation.

Record the maximum shear load (residual shear capacity), the corresponding displacement, and plot the load-displacement response. 9.6.3 RequirementsAll anchors in a test series shall complete the simulated seismic-shear load history specified in Table 9.2 and Fig. 9.2. Failure of an anchor to develop the required shear resistance in any cycle prior to completing the loading history specified in Table 9.2 and Fig. 9.2 shall be recorded as an unsuccessful test. The mean residual capacity of the anchors in the test series shall be at least 160 percent of Veq as given by Eq. (9-3) or Eq. (9-4). Successful completion of the cyclic loading history and fulfillment of the residual shear capacity requirement of this Section shall be reported together with an anchor capacity Vs, equal to the characteristic value, Vst, determined from the static shear test results (Table 4.2, Test 17), to be reported in Table 11.2 for use in cases that include earthquake loading. If the anchor fails to fulfill the above requirements at Veq, it shall be permitted to conduct the test with reduced cyclic loads conforming to the loading history specified in Table 9.2 and Fig. 9.2 whereby Veq,reduced, Vi,reduced and Vm,reduced are substituted for Veq, Vi and Vm, respectively. All anchors in a test series shall complete the simulated seismic-shear load history. Failure of an anchor to develop the required shear resistance in any cycle prior to completing the loading history given Table 9.2 shall be recorded as an unsuccessful test. The mean residual capacity of the anchors in the test series in the tension test shall be at least 160% of the reduced peak load Veq,reduced. Successful completion of the reduced cyclic loading history and fulfillment of the residual shear capacity requirement of this Section shall be reported together with a nominal anchor shear capacity Vs to be reported in Table 11.2 for use in cases that include earthquake loading.

9.7Torque Tests (Table 4.1, Test 15 and Table 4.2, Test 20) 9.7.1 PurposeThese optional torque tests are performed in uncracked concrete for establishing whether or not the anchors of the same design, but of different production methods, materials, coatings, or prestressing mechanisms have the same performance. The tests also can be used to establish the appropriate installation or tightening torques so that the anchor is installed or tightened appropriately and the anchor does not function in the yield range of the material. 9.7.2 General test conditionsFig 9.4 gives the test setup. The fixture shall contain all parts shown in Fig. 9.4. During the test use a setup that avoids the turning of the washer on the fixture. One method is the use of double-sided abrasive paper. Apply a torque with a calibrated torque wrench until it cannot take further torque, or at least to 1.3 Tinst. Measure the tension force in the bolt as a function of the applied torque.

APPENDIX A4 - REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DESIGN OF ANCHORS QUALIFIED EXCLUSIVELY FOR REDUNDANT APPLICATIONS A4.1 General: A4.1.1 For an anchoring system designed with redundancy, the load maintained by an anchor that experiences failure or excessive deflection can be transmitted to neighboring anchors without significant consequences to the fixture or remaining resistance of the anchoring system. In addition to the requirements for anchors, the fixture being attached shall be able to resist the forces acting on it assuming one of the fixing points is not carrying load. It is assumed that by adhering to the limits placing on n1, n2 and n3 below, redundancy will be satisfied. A4.1.2 Anchors qualified for redundant applications may be designed for use in normal weight and sand-lightweight cracked and uncracked concrete. Concrete compressive strength of 2,500 psi shall be used for design. No increase in anchor capacity is permitted for concrete compressive strengths greater than 2,500 psi. The anchor installation is limited to concrete with a compressive strength of 8,500 psi or less. A4.1.3 Redundant applications shall be limited to structures assigned to Seismic Design Categories A or B only. A4.1.4 The ability of the fixed element to transfer loads to adjacent anchors to adjacent anchors shall be justified to the satisfaction of the code official. A4.1.5 Redundant applications shall be limited to support of nonstructural elements. A4.2 Strength Design: A4.2.1 For strength design, a redundant system is achieved by specifying and limiting the following variables (See Fig. A4.1): n1 n2 n3 = = = the total number of anchorage points supporting the linear element number of anchors per anchorage point factored load at each anchorage point, lbs., using load combinations from IBC Section 1605.2.1 or ACI 318 Section 9.2
FIGURE A4.1 DEFINITION OF n1, n2, AND n3 A4.2.2 The following combinations have been determined to be adequate in satisfying redundancy for strength design of typical fixtures (See Fig. A4.2): n1 $ 4, n2 $ 1 and n3 # 675 lbs. (3005 N) n1 $ 3, n2 $ 1 and n3 # 450 lbs. (2005 N) (or)
A37
For n1 = 4, n3 = 675 lbs in any direction For n1 = 3, n3 = 450 lbs in any direction
FIGURE A4.2 DETAILS A FOR STRENGTH DESIGN A4.2.3 For the redundant applications of anchors loaded in tension the following equation shall be satisfied:
ra Fra N ua
A4.2.4 For the redundant applications of anchors loaded in shear the following equation shall be satisfied:
(Eq. A4-1)
ra Fra Vua
A4.2.5 For combined tension and shear loading the following equation shall be satisfied:
(Eq. A4-2)
ra Fra ( N ua )2 + ( Vua )2
(Eq. A4-3)
A4.2.6 In Eq. A4-1, A4-2 and A4-3, Fra is the lowest characteristic resistance in lbs. (N) determined from testing and evaluation of data in accordance with Table 4.3, is independent of load direction, and is applicable for cracked and uncracked concrete. A4.2.7 In Eq. A4-1, A4-2 and A4-3, ra is determined from the table below based on the anchor category evaluated in accordance with AC193: Anchor Category 1 2 3 ra 0.65 0.55 0.45
A4.2.8 For the redundant applications of fasteners installed in structural sand-lightweight concrete, the resistance shall be replaced with 0.6 ra Fra in Eq. A4-1, A4-2 and A4-3. A4.2.9 For the redundant applications of fasteners installed in the lower flute of structural sand-lightweight concrete on metal deck assemblies, Fra shall be replaced with Fra,deck in Eq. A4-1, A4-2 and A4-3. A4.3 Allowable Stress Design A4.3.1 For allowable stress design, a redundant system is achieved by specifying and limiting the following variables:
A38
n1 = the total number of anchorage points supporting the linear element n2 = number of anchors per anchorage point n3 = load at each anchorage point, lbs. (N)
For n1 = 4, n3 = 480 lbs in any direction For n1 = 3, n3 = 320 lbs in any direction
FIGURE A4.3 DETAIL A FOR ALLOWABLE STRESS DESIGN A4.3.2 The following combinations have been determined to be adequate in satisfying redundancy for allowable stress design of typical fixtures (see Fig. A4.3): n1 $ 4, n2 $ 1 and n3 # 480 lbs. (2135 N) n1 $ 3, n2 $ 1 and n3 # 320 lbs. (1425 N) (or)
A4.3.3 Design values for use with allowable stress design shall be established in accordance with AC193 Section 6.4.3 taking Rd = ra Fra. A4.4 Required Edge Distances, Spacings, and Thicknesses A4.4.1 The minimum edge distances, spacings and member thicknesses shall be observed: Edge distance Spacing Spacing, metal deck Member thickness cmin = cac smin smin,deck hmin = 3hef $ 4 in. (102 mm) = 4hef $ 8 in. (203 mm) = 3hef $ 1.5 x flute width = 2hef $ 3 in. (76 mm)
