Anchorage In Concrete Construction

A comprehensive treatment of current fastening technology using inserts (anchor channels, headed stud), anchors (metals expansion anchor, undercut anchor, bonded anchor, concrete screw and plastic anchor) as well as power actuated fasteners in concrete. It describes in detail the fastening elements as well as their effects and load-bearing capacities in cracked and non-cracked concrete. It further focuses on corrosion behaviour, fire resistance and characteristics with earthquakes and shocks. it finishes off with the design of fastenings according to the European Technical Approval Guideline (ETAG 001), the Final Draft of the CEN Technical Specification "Design of Fastenings for use in concrete" and the American Standards ACI 318-05, Appendix D and ACI 349-01, Appendix B.Within the international field of construction, both German companies and experts play an important role in fastening technology. The authors represent both groups, first two have already published a successful German edition. This English-language edition has been revised and third author has joined the team.Eligehausen, Rolf is the author of 'Anchorage In Concrete Construction ', published 2006 under ISBN 9783433011430 and ISBN 3433011435.
