Design of Cast-In-Place and Post-Installed Concrete Anchors Subject to Seismic Forces

(In accordance with 2009 IBC / ACI 318-08)

Seminar Date:  Thursday, July 22, 2010                 

Time:  From 8:00 am to 4:00 pm    (Registration from 7:30 am)

Location: Pagoda Hotel & Banquet (C’est Si Bon Ballroom Makai)

The Structural Engineers Association of Hawaii and the Cement and Concrete Products Industry of Hawaii are co-hosting this one day seminar presented by the distinguished, Dr. S.K. Ghosh, of S.K. Ghosh Associates Inc., and Bret Turley PE, Manager of Technical Services for Simpson Strong-Tie Anchor Systems. 

Seminar Content:

This seminar provides an overview of the anchor design provisions in Appendix D of ACI 318, presents design examples, and points out some of the difficulties facing designers, particularly when it comes to seismic design of anchors.

Cast-in-place anchors into concrete that are subject to seismic design forces could, before the adoption of the IBC, be designed by the allowable stress design method or the strength design method of the UBC and the other two legacy codes. They must now be designed in accordance with the strength design method in Appendix D of ACI 318.

The seminar illustrates different failure modes for a group of anchors subject to tension and different failure modes for a group of anchors subject to shear, and the calculation of the corresponding anchor strengths through a design example.   

 SHAPE  \* MERGEFORMAT 

Post-installed mechanical anchors are now included in the scope of ACI 318 Appendix D, and post-installed adhesive anchors are addressed in ICC-ES acceptance criteria that reference ACI 355.2. The qualification of proprietary anchor types under ACI 355.2 is reviewed, and the use of data provided in ICC-ES Evaluation Service Reports in conjunction with the provisions of Appendix D is addressed. Design situations addressed include single anchors, anchor groups, anchors near edges, and special cases (sill plates).
