A user-friendly model for the design of single adhesive anchors subjec
ted to tension loading in uncracked concrete is presented. Description
s of the various types of adhesive anchor systems is included as well
as a summary of previously published design models. The development of
the user-friendly design model includes a comparison of the model and
previously published models to a database including 888 European and
American tests. The comparison shows that the simple user-friendly mod
el provides a better fit to the database than more complicated design
models previously presented. Although the model is limited to anchors
located away from free edges, it provides the basis for development of
models which account for the effect of edges, anchor groups, and othe
r design conditions.
