ICC-ES AC308

Acceptance Criterial for Post-Installed Adhesive Anchors in Concrete Elements

This criteria applies to adhesive anchors and torque-controlled adhesive anchors used to resist loads in cracked and uncracked normal- and lightweight concrete. It includes assessment of load capacity, reliability, service conditions, design procedures, and quality control. Special inspection is required during anchor installation as noted in Sections 11.24 and 14.3. Modifications to the strength design requirements of ACI 318 Appendix D as required to facilitate the design of adhesive anchors are provided in Section 3.0. Table 1.1 provides an overview of the criteria scope. Qualification of anchors exclusively for short-term loads is beyond the scope of this criteria.
