Qualification of Post-Installed Mechanical Anchors in Concrete(ACI 355.2) and Commentary
ACI 355.2 prescribes testing programs and evaluation requirements for post-installed mechanical anchors intended for use in concrete under the design provisions of ACI 318. Criteria are prescribed for determining whether anchors are acceptable for use in uncracked concrete only, or in cracked as well as uncracked concrete. Performance categories for anchors are established, as are the criteria for assigning anchors to each category. The anchor performance categories are used by ACI 318 to assign capacity reduction factors and other design parameters.
WJE laboratories are accredited by ANAB (ISO/IEC 17025) to perform testing standard ACI 355.2 for Qualification of Post-Installed Mechanical Anchors in Concrete(ACI 355.2) and Commentary.
