ACI SP-103:1987 standard is a compilation of 15 symposium papers that provide valuable knowledge for designers and contractors in selecting appropriate anchors for specific applications in concrete construction. The publication covers a range of topics, such as anchor bolts in reinforced concrete foundations, dowels for anchoring new concrete facing to existing lock walls, strength and behavior of single cast-in-place anchor bolts subject to tension, headed studs, theoretical considerations on loadbearing behavior of expansion anchors, and transverse load capacity of multi-dowel anchorages in concrete.

Through the symposium papers, this publication offers insight into the various problems related to anchorage to concrete and presents the latest solutions. It addresses the often neglected aspect of concrete construction regarding the selection and use of anchor systems. The topics covered in the publication provide a comprehensive understanding of anchorage systems, including their performance under tension, shear, and transverse loads.
