Summary
Please join us for a webinar on how Masonry design of post-installed adhesive anchors has been updated to incorporate cracked and uncracked design methodology similar to concrete.
ICC-ES AC58 (Acceptance Criteria for Adhesive Anchors in Cracked and Uncracked Masonry Elements) was originally approved in 1995 and encompassed an allowable stress design method. We will look at how this criteria has changed and how it will affect adhesive anchor designs moving forward. We will show how this change can increase the safety of the overall structure due to improved performance, and greater resistance of connections during design events. This presentation will also provide design examples showing the new calculation method.
As a result of attending this webinar, you should be able to:
- Summarize the history of adhesive anchor qualification for masonry base materials
- Explain essential principles of adhesive anchor testing per ICC ES AC58
- Recite failure modes associated with adhesive anchor calculations in cracked and uncracked masonry
- Incorporate special inspection, service condition, and installation provisions into specifications
- Perform adhesive anchor calculations in cracked and uncracked masonry elements
Participants in the live event will have an opportunity to ask questions after the first hour's presentation.
Continuing education credits will be offered for the first hour of this webinar. Participants can earn one professional development hour (PDH), 0.1 continuing education unit (CEU) and 1 AIA LU-HSW credit for attending the first hour of the webinar and completing the Learning Credits quiz. Contact
