Introduction Fastening systems Principles Behaviour of headed studs, undercut anchors and metal expansion anchors in non-cracked and cracked concrete Behaviour of cast-in anchor channels in non-cracked and cracked concrete Behaviour of bonded anchors in non-cracked and cracked concrete Behaviour of plastic anchors in non-cracked and cracked concrete Behaviour of power actuated fasteners in non-cracked and cracked concrete Behaviour of screw anchors in non-cracked and cracked concrete Behaviour of anchors under seismic loading Behaviour of anchors in fire Corrosion of anchors Influence of fastenings on the capacity of components in which they are installed Design of fastenings
A comprehensive treatment of current fastening technology including inserts, post-installed anchors, as well as power-actuated fasteners, in both concrete and masonry. The section "Fastenings in Concrete" describes in detail these elements together with their behavior and load-bearing capacities in cracked and uncracked concrete, while also considering the effects of corrosion and fire, as well as earthquake and shock loading. It concludes with an assessment of fastenings, illustrated by numerous examples. The "Fastenings in Masonry" section goes on to deal with several different types of masonry and describes the load bearing characteristics with an assessment of plastic fastenings and injection-molded anchors, including criteria for selecting the correct fastening.
