PRESENTATION OVERVIEW
This presentation will explain how post-installed anchors can be designed for
installation into masonry.
We’ll begin with an overview of masonry fastening applications, and the code
provisions that are relevant to designing post-installed anchors for these applications.
Next, we’ll explain how to perform tension calculations using data given in the anchor
approval.
We’ll continue by explaining how to perform shear calculations using data given in
the anchor approval.
Finally, we’ll work some design examples using hand calculations and using Hilti’s
PROFIS Engineering software.

FILLED CONCRETE MASONRY UNITS (CMU) AND BRICKS
Hollow CMU Grout filled CMU Brick
POST-INSTALLED ANCHORS MAY BE USED ON THE FACE, IN
THE TOP OR IN THE SIDE OF A MASONRY WALL

BRICK WALLS CAN BE COMPOSED OF ONE OR MULTIPLE
WYTHES OF BRICKS

POST-INSTALLED ANCHORS MAY NOT BE SUITED FOR THE
MASONRY IN WHICH IT IS BEING INSTALLED
ANCHORING TO MASONRY APPLICATIONS ARE GOVERNED
BY THE IBC, ACI AND ICC-ES AC 01 AND AC 58
International Building Code (IBC) American Concrete Institute (ACI) ICC Evaluation Service
• Chapter 21 of the IBC includes masonry • TMS 402-16 includes strength design, • The ICC-ES acceptance criteria AC 01
provisions allowable stress design and empirical and AC 58 include provisions for testing
• References TMS 402/ACI 530 masonry design for masonry anchoring into masonry for adhesive and
standard • Anchor design for masonry typically expansion anchors
performed using allowable stress design
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA ESTABLISH DESIGN DATA FOR
POST-INSTALLED ANCHORS IN MASONRY
The International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) writes acceptance criteria
• Acceptance criteria establish requirements for product recognition under the IBC
• Recognition is provided via an ICC-ES Evaluation Report (ESR)
• Post-installed anchors must be qualified for recognition under the IBC
Acceptance Criteria for Expansion Anchors in Masonry Elements (AC01)

• Qualification per AC01 permits design of expansion and screw anchors into masonry under the IBC
• Grout-filled CMU
• Design data is given in the ESR
Acceptance Criteria for Adhesive Anchors in Masonry Elements (AC58)

• Qualification per AC58 permits design of adhesive anchor systems into masonry under the IBC
• Grout-filled and hollow CMU, hollow brick
• Design data is given in the ESR
POST-INSTALLED ANCHORS MUST BE QUALIFIED FOR USE
IN MASONRY THROUGH RIGOROUS TESTING
Testing per ICC-ES acceptance Testing per ICC-ES acceptance Testing per ICC-ES acceptance
criteria provides recognition criteria establishes data and criteria establishes geometry

ESR’S OUTLINE THE SCOPE AND USES FOR THE PRODUCT
BEING QUALIFIED
Section 1 lists all the codes with Section 2 lists all the applications Section 6 lists which Acceptance
which the product is compliant for which the product can be used Criteria was used to determine data
ICC-ES Evaluation Report ESR-4143, Hilti HIT-HY 270 Adhesive Anchor System
THE PRODUCT SPECIFIC ESR DETAILS THE DESIGN
PARAMETER FOR THAT SPECIFIC ANCHOR
• Data is specific to anchor diameter and embedment
• Allowable loads given for critical edge distance (ccr)
and spacing (scr)
– No load reduction required if anchors are
installed at ccr and scr
• Load reduction factor calculated for edge distance
and spacing values less than ccr and scr
– Calculate a reduction factor for each edge
distance and spacing than ccr and scr
– Multiply all reduction factors times allowable load
to obtain a net allowable load for the application
AGENDA

Design examples
FOR THE TENSION CALCULATIONS WE WILL USE THIS
BASIC SET UP
TENSION CALCULATIONS – GEOMETRY CHECK
• Select an anchor diameter and embedment that is

suitable for the masonry material
• Reference the anchor ESR for edge distance (cmin
and ccr) and spacing (smin and scr) requirements
– Requirements will be specific to the masonry
material and to tension and shear load conditions
• Check actual edge distance and spacing versus
minimum/critical edge distance and spacing
– Verify cmin < cactual < ccr for each edge distance
– Verify smin < sactual < scr for each anchor spacing
TENSION CALCULATIONS – NET ALLOWABLE LOAD
• Determine the reduction factor for each edge

distance and spacing less than ccr and scr
– Determine a reduction factor for base material
temperature (adhesive anchors only)
• Multiply all reduction factors times the allowable
load to obtain a net allowable load for the
application
• Check the net allowable load versus the applied
load
– Also check net allowable load versus allowable
steel strength for adhesive anchor systems
AGENDA

Design examples
FOR THE SHEAR CALCULATIONS WE WILL USE THIS BASIC
SET UP
SHEAR CALCULATIONS - GEOMETRY CHECK
• Select an anchor diameter and embedment that is

suitable for the masonry material
• Reference the anchor ESR for edge distance (cmin
and ccr) and spacing (smin and scr) requirements
– Requirements will be specific to the masonry
material and to tension and shear load conditions
• Check actual edge distance and spacing versus
minimum/critical edge distance and spacing
– Verify cmin < cactual < ccr for each edge distance
– Verify smin < sactual < scr for each anchor spacing
SHEAR CALCULATIONS – PERPENDICULAR TO EDGE
• Determine the reduction factor for (perpendicular)

edge distance less than ccr and each spacing less
than scr
• Multiply the (perpendicular) edge distance
reduction factor, spacing reduction factors and
temperature reduction factor (adhesive anchors)
times the allowable shear load to obtain a net
allowable load
• Check the net allowable load vs the applied load
SHEAR CALCULATIONS – PARALLEL TO EDGE
• Determine the reduction factor for (parallel) edge

distance less than ccr and each spacing less than
scr
• Multiply the (parallel) edge distance reduction
factor, spacing reduction factors and temperature
reduction factor (adhesive anchors) times the
allowable shear load to obtain a net allowable load
• Check the net allowable load versus the applied
load
