ACI 355.3R-11 PDF Download

ACI 355.3R-11 is a standard that provides guidance for the design of anchorage to concrete using ACI 318 Appendix D. The standard outlines the testing programs and evaluation requirements for post-installed adhesive anchors in concrete. These anchors are intended for use in various conditions including seismic loading, sustained loading, aggressive environments, reduced and elevated temperatures. The standard specifies the criteria for determining the acceptability of anchors for use in both cracked and uncracked concrete, or in uncracked concrete only. It also provides guidelines for establishing the characteristic bond strength, considering reductions for adverse conditions, and determining the anchor category and associated jobsite quality-control requirements.
