ACI 355.4M-19 (SI) PDF Download

ACI 355.4M-19 (SI) is a standard that provides guidelines for the qualification of post-installed adhesive anchors in concrete. This standard is intended to be used in conjunction with the design provisions of ACI 318M. It specifies testing programs and evaluation requirements for adhesive anchors in various conditions of use, including seismic loading, sustained loading, aggressive environments, and different temperature conditions.

The standard defines criteria for determining the acceptability of adhesive anchors for use in both cracked and uncracked concrete. It establishes the characteristic bond strength, takes into account reductions for adverse conditions, and provides criteria for determining the anchor category and associated job-site quality control requirements.

It is important to note that the official version of this ACI document uses inch-pound units, but a conversion into SI units is provided for convenience. However, ACI does not guarantee the accuracy of the conversion, and the official interpretation of this document should be based only on U.S. customary units.
