What is Post-installed rebar?

A common and long-standing application of anchoring adhesives is the installation of. deformed reinforcing bars (rebar) in holes drilled in concrete to emulate the behavior of. cast-in-place reinforcing bars (Figure 2). These are commonly referred to as post-installed. reinforcing bars.

Can a post-installed reinforcing bar be designed for development using a hook?

Post-installing a hook into existing concrete using an adhesive is not possible. However, the end of a post-installed reinforcing bar that will be cast into new concrete can be designed with a hook.

What is a primary assumption when designing reinforcing bars for development?

Basic assumptions in design of reinforced concrete members are: The internal forces such as bending moments,shear forces and normal and shear stresses at any section of a member are in equilibrium with the effects of external loads at that section.

What is rebar dowelling?

Rebar dowels are used to brace the joints between two concrete elements. When the rebar is not being used to hold the concrete members together, post-installed anchor theory can be applied. This eliminates the need to embed the bar deep enough into the base material to develop the rebar for steel failure.

What are post-installed anchors?

A post-installed anchor that is a threaded mechanical fastener placed in a predrilled hole. The anchor derives its tensile holding strength from the mechanical interlock of the fastener threads with the grooves cut into the concrete during the anchor installation.

How do you calculate development length?

Calculation of Development length: Generally, in practice, the development length requirement is expressed as ’41 times Ø’or ’41 Ø’ where 41 is the factor calculated using the above formula& Ø is the dia of the bar.

What is rebar development length?

A development length can be defined as the amount of reinforcement(bar) length needed to be embedded or projected into the column to establish the desired bond strength between the concrete and steel (or any other two types of material).

How far is dowel in rebar?

Dowel Bar Spacing and Alignment With respect to horizontal spacing, dowel bars are typically placed 12 inches apart, starting with the first bar 12 inches from the edge of the slab.

What is a dowel in concrete?

Dowels are located in transverse joints of Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements (JPCP) and they are used to provide load transfer between individual slabs, reduce faulting and improve performance.

What is a post installed reinforcement bar?

A common and long-standing application of anchoring adhesives is the installation of deformed reinforcing bars (rebar) in holes drilled in concrete to emulate the behavior of cast-in-place reinforcing bars (Figure 2). These are commonly referred to as post-installed reinforcing bars.

What are post installed adhesive anchor systems?

Post-installed adhesive anchor systems are commonly designed with the Appendix D, Anchoring to Concrete, provisions of the ACI 318 code. Anchor elements used with adhesive anchor systems include threaded rod, internally threaded inserts, proprietary anchor elements and reinforcing bars.

How to calculate the development length for the post-installed bars?

The development length for the post-installed bars would be calculated using ACI 318-11 Eq. (12-1). Lap splices would follow Section 12.15, Splices of deformed bars and deformed wires in tension.

Can reinforcement bars be spliced to reinforce a slab?

Consider an application for a slab extension in which reinforcing bars post-installed with an adhesive will be used. The post-installed bars will need to be spliced to the reinforcement in the existing member (Figure 3, page 16). Assume the slab is subjected to non-seismic tension loads, and design is per the 2012 IBC.
