Anchorage in Concrete Construction

Anchorage in Concrete Construction

5/5

A comprehensive treatment of current fastening technology using inserts (anchor channels, headed stud), anchors (metal expansion anchor, undercut anchor, bonded anchor, concrete screw and plastic anchor) as well as power actuated fasteners in concrete.

It describes in detail the fastening elements as well as their effects and load-bearing capacities in cracked and non-cracked concrete.

It further focuses on corrosion behaviour, fire resistance and characteristics with earthquakes and shocks.

It finishes off with the design of fastenings according to the European Technical Approval Guideline (ETAG 001), the Final Draft of the CEN Technical Specification 'Design of fastenings for use in concrete' and the American Standards ACI 318-05, Appendix D and ACI 349-01, Appendix B.

If you design concrete anchors, this book is a must have. Not only does it provide an in-depth discussion as to the various failure modes, but it also goes into the design codes that govern such systems.

The concepts and ideas in this book are covered very well. Where other references and text books only scratch the surface and do not give engineers guidance in more challenging applications, this book helps tremendously.
