Background

October 1997 marked the rst signicant step in the development, selection and use of structural and safety criticalanchor bolts. The European Commission adopted the rst ever ETAG (European Technical Approval Guideline) for anyconstruction product.

ETAG 001, Parts 1 and 3 Metal Anchors for use in Concrete

These parts of the ETAG cover torque controlled anchors such as Rawl R-HPT and Rawl R-SPT Throughbolts.Adoption of the ETAG 001 marked the rst stage of harmonisation of product approval systems throughout Europe. This harmonisation has been sought after by manufacturers, speciers and end users for many years, allowingproducts to be compared on a like for like basis and the free passage of products within Europe.

ETAG 001, Part 4 Metal Anchors for use in Concrete

Adopted in December 1998, it covers deformation controlled anchors such as the Rawl Wedge Anchor (morecommonly known as drop-in anchor).

Scope

ETAG 001 covers all structural and safety relevant applications where there is risk to human life or considerable economicconsequence. It is extremely difcult to clearly identify the applications where approved products should be selected or whichare covered by the scope of the ETAG.

Testing and Assessment

European Technical Approvals (ETAs) can only be awarded after satisfying the demanding requirements of thecomprehensive test programme described within ETAG 001, Metal Anchors for use in Concrete.

Suitability tests determine the functionality of the anchor under the most likely and extreme deviations from installationand service conditions. This would include: variations in concrete strengths, contact with rebar, tolerances of holediameter, deviations in installation torques, repeated and sustained loads, cracked concrete and the subsequentmovement of such cracks.

Admissible Service Condition tests are used to establish characteristic loads, edge andspacing distances for all directions, admissible (ie. tensile, shear and combined), wheninstalled in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.

Stringent assessment criteria are also applied to all tests. Load/displacement graphs mustshow positive gradients with no sign of slipping of the anchor. The mean ultimate load in allsuitability tests must attain a given percentage of the reference values obtained in theAdmissible Service Condition tests and all test results must have limited scatter.

The net effect of the new comprehensive range of tests and stringent assessment criteriawill reduce current load performances and increase the edge distances and spacings for allproducts, in comparison with current published and accepted performance.

Only after satisfying this test and assessment process can an ETA be awarded.

Manufacturing

The manufacturer must also satisfy and demonstrate to an independent control body that they have effective control ofthe manufacturing specications and processes for the approved product. This control is product specic and is farmore complex and detailed than the general BS EN ISO9001 specication. This ensures the highest quality ismaintained for these safety critical products, a policy which Rawlplug has always upheld.

Approvals

CE Marking

To afx CE marking to an anchor, it must have two important documents:

1) A European Technical Approval (ETA) in accordance with the ETAG 001 Metal Anchors for use in Concrete2) A certicate of attestation from an independent control bodyOnly then can an anchor possess CE marking.

Benefits

ETAG approved and CE marked products will enable speciers, distributors, contractors and end users to have theutmost condence in specifying, selling and installing these products, where safety and reliability are paramount andwhere performance and quality can be assured.

Rawlplug

Rawlplug has continued to develop its range of products to meet these requirements to ensure its customers cansatisfy current and future market needs with new, improved anchors with increased safety.

Rawlplug has been awarded ETA approvals and CE marking for the new range of Rawl R-HPT and Rawl R-SPTThroughbolts i.e. ETAs 98/0003 and 98/0006 and certicates of attestation 0836-CPD-0001 and 0836-CPD-0002.

Rawlplug is the rst UK manufacturer of any construction products to be awarded an ETA and CE marking.

This ensures that our customers are supplied with world class products of the highest quality and technicalperformance which can be independently certied.

Future

This new approach to approvals has led to unknown territory where there is generally low awareness of the detail andon the impact it will have on the use of these products. This particularly applies to the denition and the scope ofcracked concrete, structural and safety critical applications. To complicate matters further each member state withinthe EC has still to prescribe a transition period for their market place, whereby existing national approval systems willrun their course and eventually be superceded by the new approach to ETAs. This is likely to be a protracted anddiverse procedure.

During this transition period national approvals will still be accepted, although the performance data has been basedon different testing and assessment criteria. Direct comparison of performance data between approval systems cannotbe made. Therefore products which are currently used in the market place can still be used during this transitionperiod. This situation is complex and confusing, but during this stage customers can rely on Rawlplug to provideguidance on selection and supply of approved products to meet their requirements.

Rawlplug continues to be represented on the working groups which compile future guidelines and building regulations,thus ensuring that its customers are kept up-to-date with current developments and can be assured that theirrequirements are continuously considered.

The performance of anchors depends on which type of

substrate is used. Some anchors will perform well in

concrete and not as well in low strength masonry and

vice versa. A general rule of thumb is that anchor

performance will normally increase with a

corresponding increase in substrate strength.

However, care should be taken on the selection of the

correct anchor for the base material used.

Concrete

The most common substrate used for structural and safetycritical applications is concrete. The anchor performancepublished in this specication guide is based on a concretestrength of 30N/mm2 (C20/25). The published performancedata can be adjusted for concrete strengths up to 50N/mm2(C40/50). For performance outside this range of concretestrengths contact the Technical Advisory Service. Higherstrength concrete can restrict the expansion of some anchors,it is therefore advisable to contact the Technical AdvisoryService on product suitability.

Reinforced concrete may crack for various reasons. The widthof the crack can be limited by good design practice, howeveranchor performance can be reduced if installed in a crack ofsignicant width. Research has shown that the probability ofthis occurring is extremely low. This is supported by the lack ofevidence of any failure of anchors in cracked concrete.

Reinforcement in concrete does not improve anchorperformance although theoretically it may allow closer edgedistances to be applied. This is extremely difcult to assessdue to a variety of factors such as diameter, position in relationto the free edge and strength of the reinforcement and is bestignored. If possible it is recommended not to drill intoreinforcement as this may affect the structural integrity. Theanchor performance published in this specication guide wasestablished in unreinforced concrete.

Anchor performance is based on the recommendedembedment depth, edge distance and spacing. Some anchorperformance may be improved due to an increase in concretecapacity or embedment depth. Care should be taken whenincreasing embedment as this may result in steel failure of theanchor. Contact the Technical Advisory Service for guidance. Itis essential that anchors are not installed closer to edges orspacings than those recommended. This may result inconcrete splitting due to the nature of high expansion forcesgenerated during installation.

Masonry - bricks and blocks

Masonry structures are a composite of bricks or blocks andmortar. Masonry can be difcult to x to due to the wide rangeof bricks and blocks available and the uncertainty of whichmasonry has been used ie. solid, perforated, number of voids,thickness and strength. In addition the xing location could bein a mortar joint.

Care must be taken in the choice of anchor to ensure the basematerial is not cracked or split due to expansion forces. Itshould not be positioned in the mortar joints and must belocated away from the edges. Site tests may be required todetermine the suitability of the anchor for the base material.

Brickwork

The compressive strength of bricks can vary from 5-70 N/mm2.The strength of the mortar will be unknown. Therefore it is verydifcult to be precise on the recommendations for xing tobrickwork. However, general recommendations can be given.The smaller sizes of torque controlled shield and sleeveanchors such as Rawlbolt and Rawlok can be used in solidengineering and common perforated brickwork. Fixingembedment should be restricted to 30mm from the remote faceand 300mm from vertical and horizontal edges of the brickworkwhere possible. Bonded anchors are more suitable as theyexert no expansion forces into the substrate and will ll smallvoids. Mesh sleeves are available for use in perforated bricksand cavity walls.

Blockwork

Typically the lowest strength of all substrates. Torquecontrolled expansion anchors are not generally recommendeddue to to the expansion forces which can cause splitting. Whenan expansion anchor must be used, consider the RawlokSleeve Anchor for blockwork of minimum strength of 7N/mm2.Bonded Anchors can be used for most solid and porousblocks, or with mesh sleeves for hollow blocks.

Selection of the correct size and type of anchor should bebased on the following criteria;

Magnitude of applied load. Direction of applied load. Nature of the applied load:- static or dynamic.The installation procedure for anchors must be strictlyadhered to for published performance figures to be reliable.

To establish safe working loads the following criteria are to be met:

SAFETY MARGIN

Safe Working Load = x - KS

Where: x = the mean ultimate load at failure.K = statistical condence factor relating to the sample size tested.S = Standard deviation of test results found by statistical analysis. = Factor of Safety of 3 for torque controlled expansion anchors.

For Bonded Anchors, Rawlplug suggest a safety margin of greater than 4 to take account of variations to site conditions

and operator technique.

FIXTURE WILL NOT MOVE

Safe Working Load < mean load at 0.1mm axial movement of anchor due to tensile loading.ORAverage Loading at 1.0mm movement perpendicular to the axis of the bolt due to shear loading, whichever is lower.

ANCHOR MATERIAL WILL NOT BE OVERSTRESSED

Safe Working Load < the specied maximum working tensile and shear stress for the particular bolt material in question,all in accordance with the relevant material standard.

Note 1 The lowest value produced by these three methods is used as the safe working load.

Note 2 Other manufacturers and distributors may not apply the same stringent criteria to the establishment of safe working loads

as Rawlplug.

Care should be exercised when comparing Rawlplug Anchor performance to that of other companies.

The recommended safe working loads published in this guide are for static applications. Static applications include dead loads,sustained loads and variable loads where the peak load is lower than the safe working load.

Dynamic applications are generally not covered by this guide due to the range and complexity of the application.

For guidance on dynamic applications contact Technical Advisory Service.

less than the appropriate safeworking loads and must satisfythe following equation:

Offset Loads

Offset loads act at right angles to the xing axis but are offsetfrom the surface (g. 4). This is effectively a bending moment,and the load carrying capacity of the anchor in this condition isreduced from its capacity in shear.

The direction of the applied load must be considered todetermine the most appropriate anchor. The tension and shearcomponents must be less than the recommended safe workingloads in the direction concerned.

Tensile Loads

Tensile loads are applied along the axis of the xing (see g. 1).Common examples include suspended ceiling applications andthe suspension of mechanical services, pipework and ductworketc. Tensile load performance depends on the correct installation of the anchor.

Shear Loads

Shear loads act at right anglesto the axis of a xing anddirectly against the face of thestructural material (see g. 2).Shear performance is governedmainly by the shear strength ofthe bolt material and in closeedge distances compressivestrength of the supportingsubstrate.

Oblique/Combined Loads

Oblique loads are a combination of tension andshear components (see g.3). If the angle of applied oblique load is within 10 of pure tensionor pure shear, the safe working load for that direction may beassumed. Otherwise, the applied oblique load should beresolved into its shear and tensile components which must be

Key Points

To achieve published performance values, it is essential thatall anchors are installed correctly in accordance withRawlplug installation instructions. Some basic points toremember are:

Drill correct diameter hole, to the correct depth.

Clean the hole thoroughly. This is important for all anchors, but critical for bonded anchors.

Use the correct setting equipment and procedure.

Tighten to the recommended torque.

Installation

Anchor choice may be affected by certain aspects of theinstallation, for instance the desirability of a through xing. The xture can then be used as a template, and the xingmade through nominal clearance holes without the need for theobject to be removed and replaced.

Recommended Tightening Torques

In torque controlled expansion anchors a clamping force is exerted through the xture to the base material. The clamping force isproportional to the tightening torque. Tightening the anchor hexbolt or hexnut enables the expander to key into the surroundingsubstrate providing a secure xing (see g. 5). Tightening to Rawlplugs recommended tightening torques ensures that the clampingforce is greater than the published safe working loads. These torques should not be exceeded as this may overstress the boltmaterial. Adjustable torque wrenches of the break back type are recommended for setting xings.

Expanding Fixings

Torque controlled anchors transmit expansion forces by locallycompressing the substrate. The forces are exerted at the pointof expansion, not over the whole length of the xing.

On applying the load to the anchor, additional forces are exertedas shown by the projected area ie. concrete cone. (see g.6).It is this projected area which relates to the performance of theanchor. Therefore as embedment depth is increased the larger thecone and the greater the performance of the anchor. (see g.7).

Any reduction in the projected area, for example when anchorsare placed too close together or too near the edge of theconcrete (see g.8 and g. 9) will result in reducedperformance and should be avoided if possible.

Where unavoidable, the appropriate reduction factors shown forreduced spacing or edge distance should be applied to the safeworking load shown for the anchor.

Product Data

The Rawl R-CAS (Kemx) is a high performance resin bondedanchor system that is used for safety critical, structuralapplications. It relies on the adhesion of the resin to theconcrete and stud therefore providing an expansion freeanchorage. It can be used with studs or sockets in a wide rangeof solid base materials including stone, masonry, and concrete.To ensure full penetration, rotary hammer machines arerecommended. The adhesive strength of the resin is unaffectedby installation in unpolluted water. When installed into wet holessetting time will be longer. Boxes of M8 to M16 studs contain asocket driver system suitable for standard drill chucks. Anadaptor is available to enable these sizes to be installed with anSDS drilling machine. M20, M24 and M30 sizes require a separatedriving system available as an accessory. R-CAS (Kemx) canbe used overhead with care.

Reduction Factors - Edge and Spacing Distances

The characteristic edge and spacing distances quoted in the tableabove are the minimum allowable for the quoted safe loads to apply.Where the design dictates reduced edge and spacingdistances, the appropriate reduction factor/s from the tablesbelow must be applied to the safe working load.Choose the required bolt diameter across the top of the table

and read down the left hand column until actual edge orspacing distance is found. Read off the reduction factor wherethe two lines intersect (interpolate as required). Multiply thisfactor by the safe working load quoted in the table. On theoccasion that multiple close edge and/or spacing distancesoccur, the appropriate reduction factors must be applied.

Loads shown are for 30N/mm2 (C20/25) concrete.For other grades of concrete between 20 and 50N/mm2 wherethe anchor is in tension the load can be calculated using thefollowing empirical formula:

This calculation is not valid for shear.

Edge and Spacing Distances

The loads shown are applicable to characteristic edge and spacingdistances. For reduced edge and spacing distances, reductionfactors must be calculated from the appropriate tables below.

Combined Load (concrete only)

When selecting an anchor which will carry a combined load,ensure that the bolt size selected satises the followingequation:

(Edge and spacing reduction factors, if applicable, should beapplied to the safe tensile and safe shear loads).

Product Data

The Rawl R-HAC capsule range is a simple and rapid methodof xing either threaded studs or rebar into solid concrete orstone. The stud is simply hammered through the capsule usinga hammer or mechanical drill. In applications where deeperembedment is required two capsules can be used eg. when ahigher loading is necessary or where the surface concrete is ofpoor quality. For performance data on double embedmentcapsules contact the technical advisory service. The hardeneris situated at the head of the capsule and is mixed with theresin as the stud or rebar is hammered in. Studs and rebar

should be square cut (not chisel pointed) to ensure thoroughmixing of resin and hardener during installation. R-HAC is notsuitable for overhead applications. Consider R-CAS capsules,R-KF2 or R-KEM pump in resin.

R-KEA

Product Data

Rawl R-KEA is a specially formulated epoxy acrylate resin in a380ml cartridge, for use with threaded rod, internally threadedsockets and rebar. It provides higher load performance thanpolyester resins and quicker gel and cure times. Typical holedepths are quoted in the table but due to its consistency R-KEAcan also be used in deeper embedment applications, such asfor rebar and threaded rod, and where higher loads thanstandard are required. R-KEA should not be used for overheadapplications - (use R-KF2, R-KSF or R-CAS). R-KEA offersimproved chemical resistance and can be used in damp conditions. It is suitable for use in solid structures only.

Because expansion forces are not a feature of chemicalanchors, they can be installed at closer edge and spacingdistances than expansion anchors of a similar dimension.

Product Data

Rawl R-KF2 is a 380ml, two part, polyester resin cartridgesystem. The resin and hardener are retained in separatesections within the cartridge and fully mix in the nozzle duringpumping.

Rawl R-KF2 is a general purpose resin, for solid and hollowstructures. When used in hollow structures, eg hollow pre-castconcrete beams, perforated brickwork and hollow blockwork, amesh sleeve must be inserted into the hole prior to the resinbeing pumped in and the stud or socket inserted.

The sleeve holds the resin in position until curing has takenplace. Rawl R-KF2 uses a standard dispenser gun, and can beinserted up to 500mm deep.

Rawl R-KSF Surex is a 150ml, two part, styrene free resincartridge system, offering similar performance and features toR-KF2 Kemfast.

Rawl R-KSF Surex is odourless and has a higher ash point.

The 150ml cartridge operates in a standard mastic gun and isrecommended for smaller applications.

Product Data

The Countersunk SafetyPlus Anchor is an all steel, highperformance anchor for safety critical applications in concrete. It should be selected for applications where a ush xing isrequired and where a bolt or stud projecting would cause ahazard, eg. Walkways, Platforms and Public Seating. Also foraesthetic reasons, typically architectural steelwork or highspecication balustrading. The Countersunk SafetyPlus is tightened using a hexagondriver making it particularly useful where security is importantand where a conventional nut or bolt would be easier toremove.

Other features are in accordance with the standard SafetyPlus range. This anchor is tested in accordance with European Technical Approval requirements.
