ADHESIVE ANCHORS ARE USED IN A VARIETY OF
CONSTRUCTION APPLICATIONS

Structural anchor bolts

Rebar doweling

Safety related applications

Attachments to solid and hollow masonry

Fastening metal fixtures or equipment

Fundamentals of Post-Installed Rebar Using Qualified Adhesive Anchor Systems 5

ADHESIVE ANCHOR APPLICATIONS CAN BE DIVIDED INTO

TWO MAIN CATEGORIES: ANCHORING AND REBAR

Rebar
Adhesive
Threaded Rod

+ Torque Controlled
Threaded Rod

Internally
Threaded Insert

Adhesive anchors are regulated by a variety of codes and standards

including ACI 318, ACI 355.4, CSA A23.3 as well as acceptance criteria issued
by the ICC Evaluation Service

Fundamentals of Post-Installed Rebar Using Qualified Adhesive Anchor Systems 7

ANCHOR THEORY IS WELL ESTABLISHED IN THE CODES

AND STANDARDS FOR ADHESIVE ANCHORS.
• Failure modes (in tension) include
• Steel
• Concrete Breakout
• Pull-Out / Bond Failure
• Side-Face Blowout and Splitting
• Limited to embedment depths of 20 bar diameters (20d)

Typically, the required strength is established as follows:

øRn ≥ U , where U is the factored load, ø is a strength reduction factor,
and Rn is the nominal resistance (generally taken as the 5% fractile)

For tension loads, splitting of the concrete is typically not relevant due to the
limitations placed on edge distance, concrete thickness, and anchor spacing.

POST-INSTALLED REINFORCING BARS HAVE A FEW
FUNDAMENTAL DISTINCTIONS COMPARED TO ANCHORS
Post-installed rebar can be characterized as follows:
• Embedded in adhesive in a hole drilled into existing
structure on one side of the interface and cast into new
on the other side.
• Often installed with minimal edge distance resulting in
splitting as the failure mode.
• Typically not designed to resist direct shear loading in
the manner of an anchor bolt.
• Generally embedded as required to “develop” their yield
strength using the development splice length provisions
of the code.

Assumption of bar development is the most fundamental distinction

separating post-installed rebar from adhesive anchors.

HOW ARE ADHESIVE SYSTEMS QUALIFIED TO VERIFY
“SAME AS CAST-IN” REINFORCING BAR PERFORMANCE?

ICC-ES AC308 lists the full range of tests required to qualify adhesive anchor systems for
post-installed reinforcing bar applications.

• The suitability of an adhesive system for post-installed reinforcing bar applications is

dependent on many factors.

• Systems that may be appropriate for anchoring applications will not necessarily fulfill the
requirements for safe and reliable reinforcing bar installations.

AC308 Table 3.8 details the test program for evaluation and qualification.

Fundamentals of Post-Installed Rebar Using Qualified Adhesive Anchor Systems 17

AC308 TEST PROGRAM IS EXTENSIVE

Rebar tests include:

• Service condition tests • Installation procedure verification
– Up to #8 (25M), 35d embedment • dmax , 60d embedment
• Reliability tests • Installation without air voids
– Sensitivity to: • Durability
– Hole cleaning – Resistance to alkalinity,
– Saturated concrete sulfur, corrosion
– Freeze/thaw • Seismic qualification (optional)
– Sustained loads at high temps
– Decreased installation temps
– Installation direction

Systems that may be appropriate for anchoring applications will not necessarily
fulfill the requirements for safe and reliable reinforcing bar installations.

ICC-ES AC308 TEST FOR BOND / SPLITTING BEHAVIOR

Fundamentals of Post-Installed Rebar Using Qualified Adhesive Anchor Systems 19

THESE TESTS DIRECTLY COMPARE CAST-IN AND

POST-INSTALLED BAR PERFORMANCE UNDER CONDITIONS
WHERE SPLITTING IS THE LIMITING FAILURE MODE
Characteristics
Stiffness

If the adhesive is too stiff, excessive shear lag can lead

to zipper-like failure of the near edge bar.
Properties
Material

If the bond is too “soft”, relaxation of the post-installed bar

may permit excessive opening of the joint between old and
new concrete, leading to loss of shear transfer or corrosion.

Adhesives and grout which have not been properly verified

for post-installed reinforcing bar applications should not be used.

HOW CAN YOU VERIFY THAT A PRODUCT CONFORMS WITH

THE LATEST CODE REQUIREMENTS?

EASY – look for an Evaluation Service Report (ESR) for that product.

What is an ESR?

• Product specific ESRs, which verifies code compliance*, are published by ICC-ES
based on testing performed in accordance with appropriate acceptance criteria (AC).
*ESRs do not specifically address Canadian codes but the qualification testing requirements are essentially identical in the US and Canada

ICC-ES Evaluation Reports play an important role in providing clear

evidence that products comply with codes and standards.

ACI 318-11 Section 11.6.9 requires roughening to a

“full amplitude of approx. 1/4 inch.” This may be
accomplished by mechanical means (i.e. - using a
combi/bushing tool), sand-blasting, or water-blasting.

from concrete face to facilitate
drilling without splitting and/or
spalling.

• Drilling alignment aids improve

drilling accuracy.

• ACI or CSA provisions for cover and

SELECTING THE PROPER ADHESIVE AND INJECTION

METHOD WILL HELP ENSURE CORRECT INSTALLATION

• Can the adhesive be injected and the bar installed
within the gel time of the adhesive?
• Is the appropriate injection equipment available,
including all necessary accessories, to ensure
correct dispensing and mixing?
• Is the adhesive suitable for the concrete temp,
moisture conditions, hole orientation and drilling
method?
• What effort is required to inject the adhesive?
Fundamentals of Post-Installed Rebar Using Qualified Adhesive Anchor Systems
• Available battery dispensers simplify the injection
of the adhesive into the hole.
• Piston plug systems provide positive feedback to
the operator for controlling the injection process
and dramatically improves injection quality and
efficiency.
