Abstract |
A newly developed stainless steel post-installed expansion anchor, to enhance durability and seismic performance, was validated according to evaluation guidelines through two service-condition tests: a test at minimum edge distance and a simulated seismic-tension test. Tests at minimum edge distance were conducted for M12 and M16, while seismic-tension tests were performed for M12, M16, and M20. The tests at minimum edge distance indicated that both M12 and M16 exhibited strengths statistically equal to the reference tests, thus equivalent to the current anchor design standards regarding edge distance effects. Unlike the reference tests where concrete breakout failure occurred, the tests at minimum edge distance resulted in splitting failures of concrete blocks. This discrepancy can be attributed to the excessive conservatism of the current guidelines regarding the thickness of concrete blocks compared to actual conditions. Amendments are required in the tests at minimum edge distance to better reflect actual conditions. The simulated seismic-tension tests conducted for M12, M16, and M20 exhibited residual tensile capacity after cyclic loading, exceeding the current evaluation guidelines by more than 10 %, indicating excellent seismic resistance performance.
