... F-2 EARLY-AGE CONCRETE EVALUATION -- UNIVERSITY OF STUTTGART This section presents the test program conducted at the IWB laboratory of the University of Stuttgart to investigate the effect of early-age concrete on the short-term performance of three adhesive anchor systems. Test Apparatus This section describes the test apparatus used for early-age concrete evaluation used at the IWB laboratory of the University of Stuttgart.

... F-10 Figure 11: Screenshot of NI Diadem 10.2 data acquisition program. Installation procedure The installation procedure generally followed the procedure described in the section "Anchor Pullout Tests -- University of Stuttgart" except the anchors were allowed to cure for 24 hours prior to testing.
