... 3 Introduction The objectives of this research project were to: • Investigate the influence of various parameters (e.g., type of adhesive, installation conditions, and in-service conditions) on the sustained-load performance of adhesive anchors and • Develop recommended test methods, material specifications, design guidelines, design specifications, quality assurance guidelines, and construction specifications for AASHTO for the use of adhesive anchors in transportation structures.

... 7 based adhesives have higher bond strengths than ester-based adhesives. ASTM C881/C881M classifies seven types of epoxy-resin bonding systems, specifying Type IV as those that are for use in load-bearing applications for bonding hardened concrete to other materials, but Type IV is not specifically identified for epoxies used in adhesive anchor systems.
