Williams grouted concrete anchors are post-installed bars utilizing a high strength grout for the bonding material. The advantage of using a grout versus an epoxy is cement grout does not break down in high heat areas and can be pumped into deep embedded holes easier than epoxy. The disadvantages are longer set times than epoxy and the bond stress may also be lower. Williams offers Five Star Special Grout 400 for cement grout bonded anchors. This product manufactured by Five Star has excellent grout bond characteristics and quick set-up times. See page 47 for the Five Star Grout properties. Shown on the following pages are the various steels and corresponding hex nuts that are used for Williams Grout Bonded Concrete Anchors.
Grouted concrete anchors typically use a hex nut at the bottom of the anchor rod. This helps to assure that a failure will not occur at the grout to bar interface. The modes of failure that can be evaluated for a single grouted concrete anchor include, ductile steel failure, concrete breakout failure and bond failure. By setting the bars ultimate steel strength equal to the concrete breakout strength, the designer can estimate a recommended embedment depth using industry design models. In addition bond failure can be checked by using a Uniform Bond Stress Model. Presently the anchor industry is absent of a formal design code for grouted anchors, however the designer can consider the following equations for assistance.
d = Drill Hole Diameter (in.) Note: Minimum 1.5 x bar diameter hef = Anchor Embedment Depth (in.)
