Description

This document provides the minimum requirements for the design of fastenings used to transmit loads to concrete for safety-critical applications.

The fasteners covered in this document are:

• a) Post-installed fasteners:
  • (i) Mechanical fasteners (e.g. expansion fasteners, undercut fasteners and concrete screws)
  • (ii) Chemical fasteners (e.g. chemical fasteners, chemical expansion fasteners)
• b) Cast-in anchor channel with rigid connection (e.g. forged or welded) between the channel bar and anchor

This document also sets the requirements for the testing and assessment of post--installed and cast-in fasteners to establish the necessary design parameters for use with this document.
