... 45 This chapter summarizes the laboratory testing program used to investigate the effect of various parameters on the sustained load performance of adhesive anchors in concrete, the potential for using adhesive-alone testing to evaluate the sustained load performance of adhesive anchors, and the effect of early-age concrete on the short-term bond strength of adhesive anchors. The parameters considered, as well as the triage approach used to prioritize the parameters, are presented.

... 46 = α α Influence Ratio ST LT If the influence ratio is greater than one, then the parameter has an influence on sustained load. Conversely, influence ratios less than one indicate that the given parameter does not have an influence on the sustained load performance.

... 47 determine which parameters were believed to have the potential for the most significant impact on sustained load performance and to develop a test program to investigate those parameters. This triage approach established three categories: • High priority parameters.

... 50 Sustained load adhesive anchor chemical resistance tests were not conducted since the durability tests of ACI 355.4 are long-term tests and the reduction factor obtained from these tests, adur, was considered sufficient to account for chemical effects for both short-term and long-term loading conditions.

... 52 Adhesive-Alone Testing Program Based on the triage approach discussed above, Table 15 presents the test matrix for the tensile creep testing program of dogbone specimens of the adhesives for series 21 and 22. Test series 21 and 22 began with short-term load tests per the tensile testing procedure presented in ASTM D638.

... 53 • A 31⁄8" embedment depth for the 5⁄8" diameter bars was chosen based on minimum recommendations from AASHTO TP 84-10 to ensure adhesive failure. Test Procedure • All tests were confined tests except for test series 16, which evaluated the effect of the test setup and were unconfined tests.
