In this study, reliability tests of torsion control expansion anchors according to drill bit diameters were performed. The standard deviation and coefficient of variation of the anchor were reviewed through the tests for each variable, and the results were compared and evaluated with the standard test results. As a result of the reliability test of the M12 and M16 anchors with 1.04 times the drill bit diameter, they were within 20% of the ultimate tensile load permissible standard coefficient of variation. It was found that the pulling-out performance of the anchor installed in the large hole was sufficiently secured. However, it was found to be about 253% and 210% of the design strength, indicating that the pulling performance of the anchor installed in 1.04 times the drill bit diameter was sufficiently secured. As a result of the reliability test of the M12 and M16 anchors with 1.02 times the drill bit diameter, the value of the coefficient of variation of the ultimate tensile load limit was within 20%, which satisfies the test standard. It was shown to be about 136% and 168% of the design strength, indicating that the pulling-out performance of the anchor installed in 1.02 times the drill bit diameter is sufficiently secured.

Ballast track requires constant maintenance work due to progress of track irregularity. Fast Hardening Track(FHT) has been developed to reduce the maintenance effort done by injecting fast hardening mortar in aged ballast to convert slab track. For the application of FHT to a railway bridge, post-installed anchors should be placed at center of the track segment to fix it on bridge. This paper presents track-bridge interaction analysis results with FHT considering stiffness and strength of post-installed anchor, age of FHT concrete and friction between FHT and bridge deck surface. Based on the analysis results, this study suggests when is good to install the anchors and allow normal operation of passing train.

The use of post installed anchors with adhesive type has lately been increasing when it is necessary to repair, reinforce, or remodel structures. This method provides flexibility and simplicity for construction of structural members that require adhering or fixing. Meanwhile, strength evaluation of anchors with expansion type among post installed anchors systems has nearly reached setting up stage like design code through continual experimental studies for the last ten years, but analyses or experimental studies on anchor system with adhesive type are not yet sufficient. Accordingly, the designers and builders of korea depend on foreign design codes since there are no exact domestic design code they could credit. In this study, the objectives are investigating the effects on adhesive strength of anchors embedded into plain concrete by shear experiments of anchors with variables such as edge distance, anchor interval, and load direction and supplying basic data for enactment of domestic design code.

Recently, concrete expansion anchors which are a type of post-installed mechanical anchors are widely used in reinforcement concrete structures. In order to be used in the reinforced concrete structures designed in accordance with ACI 318-19 or ACI 349-13, the structural performance tests of the concrete expansion anchors should be conducted in accordance with ACI 355.2. The effectiveness factor(k) of concrete expansion anchors should be determined through the reference tests and used for the design of anchorage to concrete according to ACI 318-19 or ACI 349-13. In this study, we will look into the method for determining the effectiveness factor(k) of concrete expansion anchors and anchorage design process of concrete expansion anchors by using the effectiveness factor(k) in accordance with ACI 349-19.

Recently, seismic design for anchors is required, which are used for connecting structural members and non-structural and structural members. In this study, pull-out tests on the new expansion anchors which have been developed for cracked concrete. The anchors of 12 mm and 20 mm diameters were tested which are commonly used. Experiments were conducted on non-cracked concrete and cracked concrete to evaluate the seismic performance of the post-installed anchor. The experimental method complies with the specified test protocol (KCI, 2018). Three experimental variables are included in this study: presence of cracks, concrete compressive strength, and effective embedment depth. The strength of the anchors was evaluated with the characteristic capacity K_5% determined from the test results incorporated with the safety of 5% fractile. The characteristic capacity K_5% of the non-cracked and cracked concrete specified in KDS 14 20 54 are 9.8 and 7.0, respectively. Test results show that all groups except the three groups have higher characteristic capacity K_5% than the KDS code and the nominal strengths of the tested anchors can be determined with the obtained characteristic capacity K_5%.

In this paper, the performance of post-installed adhesive bonded anchor embedded in concrete is assessed using numerical simulations. This study aims at studying the influence of parameters on the performance of a chemically bonded anchorage system. Non-linear finite element modelling and simulations are carried out by properly using the material properties and phenomenon. Materials parameters such as characteristic length, fracture energy, damage criteria, tension retention and crack width of concrete and interface characteristics are carefully assigned so as to obtain a most realistic behaviour of the chemical anchor system. The peak strength of two different anchor systems obtained from present numerical studies is validated against experimental results. Furthermore, validated numerical models are used to study the load transferring mechanism and damage progression characteristics of various anchors systems where strength of concrete, strength of epoxy, and geometry and disposition of anchors are the parameters. The process of development of strain in concrete adjacent to the anchor and energy dissipated during the course of damage progression are analysed. Results show that the performance of the considered anchorage system is, though a combined effect of material and geometric parameters, but a clear distinction could be made on the parameters to achieve a desired performance based on strength, slip, strain development or dissipated energy. Inspite the increase in anchor capacity with increase in concrete strength, it brings some undesirable performance as well. Furthermore, the pullout capacity of the chemical anchor system increases with a decrease in disparity among the strength of concrete and epoxy.

Tensile load tests were conducted on High-Shear Ring Anchors (HRAs) after shear load had been applied to the HRAs, which had been developed to reduce the number of the anchors. Test variables include the embedment length of the rod and the width of the specimens and a total of 12 specimens were tested. Test results show that the HRAs pulled out due to bond failure or steel failure occurred in case that the HRAs were installed to the members with 300mm or greater width and the embedment length of 160mm (the actual embedment of rod is 140mm) or deeper. Except 4 HRAs showing steel failure of rod, the minimum and average of test-to-prediction by ACI 318-14 ratios are 1.18 and 1.79, respectively. The tensile strength of HRAs, after shear load was applied to the HRAs, can be safely evaluated by the minimum among the concrete breakout strength and bond strength with the actual embedment length of the rod.

Post-installed anchors were widely used due to its workable benefits. Regarding the resistance performance of anchors, the critical edge distance is presented to minimize the impact of concrete splitting. In the case of actual anchors, however, it is difficult to obtain the ideal edge distance. The purpose of this study is to identify resistance performance and behavior characteristics that contain complex elements such as concrete crack occurring under tensile load. Tensile tests were conducted based on the standard method. Failure shape and the resistance characteristics that do not have the critical edge distance were derived by tensile load. Parametric analysis according to the boundary condition was performed to simulate the actual tensile behavior, through a nonlinear finite element model based on the specimen. Consequently therefore, verifying analysis results the resistance mechanism can be applied through boundary conditions.

중량물 혹은 철골구조물 등을 고정시키는데, 건축구조물의 철골기둥, 터빈 제네레이터 기기등을 콘크리트 구조물에 부착시키기 위해 널리 쓰인다. 1990년대 들어 국내 건물의 리모델링, 보수 및 유지관리의 증가에 따라 앵커의 사용량도 현저히 증가하고 있으나 대부분 고가의 외국산제품을 수입하고 있다. 현재 국내외에 주로 시행되는 앵커타입은 마찰형 앵커이나 마찰형 앵커와 달리 지압형 앵커의 경우, 외국에서는 이미 그 유효성에 대한 인식이 널리 퍼져있으며 각국의 지반조건에 적합한 설계법이 개발되었다. 그러나 국내의 경우 이러한 연구가 미진한 실정이며 이에 대한 연구가 절실한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 중량물앵커(Heavy Duty Anchor)의 인장시험을 실시하여 내력을 규명하고 도출한 결과를 기존 시험연구 결과와 비교분석하여 기 제안된 이론식들과 사업경제성에대해 보다 깊이있고 정확한 적용성을 입증하는데 본 연구를 수행하였다. 시험을 통한 저강도 파괴시험의 결과 구조부재의 접합부에서 각 시험체마다 뽑힘파괴가 발생하였으며, 뽑힘파괴가 발생한 시험체는 앵커강재의 파괴력 또는 콘크리트의 콘파괴를 발생시키기에는 앵커슬리브의 확장력이 작게 작용되었다. 그 결과, 콘파괴 대신 구조부재의 접합부에서 뽑힘파괴가 발생되었으며 이를 통해 설계시, 앵커의 안정성을 증가시키기 위해 구조부재의 접합부를 연성적이며, 부가여력을 충분히 지니도록 설계하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 고강도 파괴시험의 결과 콘파괴가 발생되었음을 알 수 있는데, 본 시험에 사용된 앵커의 경우 정착위치가 구조물의 연단 모서리 거리와 너무 근접하여 앵커의 내력이 감소하게 되어 콘크리트의 콘강도가 발생되기 전에 먼저 파괴되었다. 따라서 설계시, 앵커의 파괴강도를 증가시키기 위해 앵커의 정착위치를 고려한 설치를 통해 앵커체결과정에서 적정 연단거리를 확보하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 앵커볼트 최소간격과 연단거리에 따른 파괴시험결과 앵커볼트의 간격이 허용범위 내에서 넓어질수록 불균등 부반력의 차는 감소하였으며, 최대 부반력도 감소하였다. 따라서 앵커의 파괴저항강도를 증가시키기 위해서는 허용범위 내에서 앵커볼트의 설치간격을 증가시키는 것이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.
