PULL-OUT TEST FOR CHEMICAL ANCHORS

Abstract

Pull-out test for chemical anchors The task of connecting building components is as old as building itself. Modern technology for fastenings is getting more applied worldwide. Fastenings must be designed in such a way that they do the job for which they are intended, are durable, robust and exposed to external loads. This study deals with the identification of chemical anchors embedded in reinforced concrete slab under tension load. The anchors are embedded according to rules and recommendations given from anchor manufacturer. The axial load capacity and the failure mode are observed for each test. Results from conducted tests are given in form of load – displacement diagram curves which defines the type of anchor failure. Conducted tests in this paper are basis for further experimental researches for chemical anchors under tension load while changing the parameters of concrete, reinforcement, edge and axis distances, embedment depth and other parameters that define the behavior of chemical anchors and ultimate failure loads.
