Title:
METHOD FOR DESIGNING CONCRETE ANCHORING CONSTRUCTION ASSEMBLIES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/084935
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of designing a construction assembly including an anchor fastener mounted in a concrete substrate is provided. The method includes the steps of determining a minimum required load capacity for the construction assembly, providing a graph that includes plots of load capacity versus embedment depth for one or more design parameters of interest, using the graph to select design parameters which result in a construction assembly load capacity at least as high as the minimum required load capacity, and using the selected design parameters to build the construction assembly. The graph may be generated according to standard procedures for construction assemblies that employ chemical anchoring adhesives, or according to different standard procedures for construction assemblies that employ only mechanical anchoring techniques.
