Beyond Bond Strength: How Installation Impacts Performance (BB001)

Simple installation results in reliable performance

ACI 318-19 Chapter 26 defines method of installation as a key parameter that needs to be evaluated during the design of adhesive anchors due to the potential impact on bond strength. Installation methods such as hammer drilling or core drilling can correspond to different bond capacities used in design and adhesive sensitivity to hole preparation and cleanliness corresponds to varying strength reduction factors relating to reliability of the adhesive. - Webinar
