AS 5216:2018 PDF Download

AS 5216:2018 defines the minimum design criteria for fasteners used in safety-critical applications where loads are transmitted to concrete. The standard ensures that the performance of post-installed and cast-in fastenings is reliable and meets the required safety standards.

The standard includes guidelines for the design, installation, and testing of fasteners. It covers a wide range of applications and considerations, including those related to structural integrity, load capacities, durability, and resistance to different load types such as tension, shear, and combined loads.

The purpose of AS 5216:2018 is to provide designers, engineers, and construction professionals with a comprehensive framework for designing fastenings in concrete. By adhering to the standard's specifications, practitioners can ensure the proper installation and performance of fasteners, reducing the risk of failure or potential safety hazards.
