Abstract
Post-installed expansion heavy-duty anchors and wedge anchors have been used for fixing and bonding steel frames in the remodeling and construction of structures requiring a high level of safety. The use of post-installed expansion heavy-duty anchors and wedge anchors in the remodeling and construction of structural buildings have significantly increased since the 2000's. However, we observed that a reliable design standard or construction specification for post-installed expansion heavy-duty anchors and wedge anchors had not been established. Therefore, the objective of this study is to obtain basic technical data of post-installed expansion heavy-duty and wedge anchors in the remodeling and construction of buildings. Experimental tests were performed to evaluate the combined strength and fracture mode of post-installed expansion heavy-duty and wedge anchors implanted in concrete. The experimental variables were the loading angle and combined load (tensile and shear loads). The test results for the loading angles and combined loads were compared with the values obtained using the American Concrete Institute design standard.
