Welcome To The Ramset™ Specifiers Resource Book

The Ramset™ Specifiers Resource Book contains information most useful to Specifiers, Engineers and Architects when selecting the
concrete anchoring solution that best suits their project.

Selection of a concrete anchoring product is made on the basis of the basic type of fixing (bolt, stud or internally threaded), macro
environment, (e.g. coastal or inland), micro environment (particular chemicals) and of course the capacity that best meets the design
load case.

Where the fixing is simple and does not warrant extensive strength limit state calculations, selection on the basis of load case is made
simple with summarised load tables for each concrete anchor.

Where more vigorous design and strength limit state calculation is required, the simplified step-by-step method presented in this
booklet will allow rapid selection and verification of the appropriate concrete anchor for a variety of load performance requirements.

The Brick and Block anchoring section gives design professionals guidance as to the behaviour of a number of fixings suitable for use
in a variety of both solid and hollow pre-manufactured masonry units. The capacity information presented considers the elemental
nature of pre-manufactured masonry units and advises designers as to suitable locations within the units accordingly.

DESIGN PROCESS
Design Process

This information is provided for the guidance of qualified structural engineers or other suitably skilled persons in the design of anchors. It is the designer’s
responsibility to ensure compliance with the relevant standards, codes of practice, building regulations, workplace regulations and statutes as applicable.

This manual allows the designer to determine load carrying capacities based on actual application and installation conditions.
The designer must first select the anchor style/type to suit application and environmental conditions through the use of tables 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 to
identify the specific product features, dimensional properties and environmental characteristics required.

Then select an appropriate anchor size to meet the required load case through the use of either the working load information provided or by use of the
simplified design process described on the page opposite to arrive at recommendations in line with strength limit state design principles.
Ramset™ has developed this Simplified Design Approach to achieve strength limit state design, and to allow for rapid selection of a suitable anchor and
through systematic analysis, establish that it will meet the required design criteria under strength limit state principles.
The necessary diagrams, tables etc. for each specific product are included in this publication.

Ramset™ has also developed a software tool “i-Expert Anchor Design” to enable engineers to quickly select suitable anchors for a specific set of design
conditions and output the results for project file reference. We have developed this design process to provide accurate anchor performance predictions and
allow appropriate design solutions in an efficient and time saving manner.

Our experience over many years of anchor design has enabled us to develop this process which enables accurate and quick solutions without the need to work
laboriously from first principles each time.

PRELIMINARY SELECTION
Establish the design action effects, N* and V* (Tension and Shear) acting on each anchor being examined using the appropriate load combinations detailed in the
AS1170 series of Australian Standards and NZS1170 series of New Zealand Standards.

Refer to charts on pages 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 in order to select an anchor type that best meets the needs of your application.

the total load case to each anchor as is deemed appropriate.

In this case, equal load distribution is considered appropriate hence,

Design tensile action effect (per anchor) N* 18 kN

Design shear action effect (per anchor) V* 10 kN

Given that each of the ‘interior’ anchors is influenced by two adjacent

anchors, verify capacity for anchor ‘B’ in this case.

From the information presented in tables 4.1 – 4.5, it is established that

SpaTec™ Xtrem™ anchors will be suitable for selection.

Having completed the preliminary selection component of the design

process, commence the Strength Limit State Design process.

DERIVATION OF CAPACITY
Internationally, design standards are becoming more probabilistic in nature
and require sound Engineering assessment of both load case information and
component capacity data to ensure safety as well as economy.

Published capacity data for Ramset Fasteners anchoring products are derived
™

from Characteristic Ultimate Capacities.

From a series of controlled performance tests, Ultimate Failure Loads are

established for a product.

Obviously, the value obtained in each test will vary slightly, and after obtaining
a sufficient quantity of test samples, the Ultimate Failure Loads are able to be
plotted on a chart.

Test values will typically centre about a mean value.

Once the mean Failure Load is established, a statistically sound derivation is

carried out to establish the Characteristic Ultimate Capacity which allows for
the variance in results as well as mean values.

The Characteristic Value chosen is that which ensures that a 90% confidence
is obtained that 95% of all test results will fall above
this value.

From this value, and dependent on local design requirements, the design
professional may then undertake either a strength limit state or working load
design assessment of the application at hand, confident that they are working
with state of the art capacity information.

characterised by the formation of a concrete cone, the apex of which is

The reaction of the concrete against the expanded anchor creates a high
friction force and an undercut forms between the anchor and the hole
wall. The body of the concrete contains and restricts the expansion forces.
The action of tightening the anchor bolt against the fixture produces a
preload between the fixture and the concrete.

As the applied tensile load increases, a commensurate decrease in

preload occurs, until at some point after all preload has been removed,
first slip occurs.

Concrete is locally crushed around the coil as it beds in further,

accompanied by an increase in load capacity.

When failure occurs in the concrete the mode of failure is a broaching

effect whereby load is still being held until the applied load is equivalent
to the shear and tensile capacity of the concrete, at this point a cone of
failure occurs.

Applied tensile loads are resisted by these elements:

• the anchor bolt or stud.

• the wedge action of the steel cone in the sleeve.
• friction between the expanded sleeve and the drilled hole.
• shear and tension at the surface of the potential concrete cone.

Unequal distances (“a1” and “a2”, both < ac) from two adjacent anchors,

If the anchors are at the ends of a row, each influenced by

appropriate reduction factor as a conservative solution.

Critical spacing (ac) defines a critical zone around a given anchor, for the

1. Drill hole to correct diameter and depth. Important: Use Ramset™

Dustless Drilling System to ensure holes are clean. Alternatively, clean
thoroughly with brush and remove debris by way of vacuum or hand
pump, compressed air etc.
2. Using a socket wrench, screw the AnkaScrew™ Xtrem™ into the hole using
slight pressure until the self tapping action starts.
3. Tighten the AnkaScrew™ Xtrem™ until flush with fixture.
If resistance is experienced when tightening, unscrew anchor one turn
and re-tighten. Ensure not to over tighten. Refer to tightening torque for
limitations.

Anchor Studs

The key advantage of ChemSet™ chemical anchors is that they do not impact The superior strength of grade 5.8 carbon steel threaded stud anchors gives
an expansion stress on the surrounding substrate. This makes chemical the ChemSet™ chemical anchor systems greater steel capacity than regular
anchoring ideal for close to edge fixings or for close anchor spacings. grade 4.6 threaded rod.
The superior bond of ChemSet™ chemical anchors makes them ideal for The Ramset™ ChemSet™ range of chemical anchoring systems provide

shallower holes than is possible with cementitious mortars. applicator.
The ability of ChemSet™ chemical anchors to sustain cyclic tensile loads For the designer, selection of the correct chemical anchoring solution to his
depends on adhesive bond, not on preload or tightening torque. or her design problem will often be based upon the strength capacity of the
system, but may also involve issues such as chemical resistance.
The adhesive bond does not deteriorate or change over time making
Chemset™ chemical anchors ideal for cyclic and vibrating load cases. The following section introduces the designer and/or engineer to the
components of the ChemSet™ chemical anchoring range and provides
information to allow selection of the anchor with the right capacity for various
environmental conditions.

Stress Development in Post-installed Adhesive Bonded Reinforcement in

Solid Concrete
Polymer adhesives like epoxy, generally bond significantly better to steel
reinforcement than concrete to steel reinforcement. Consequently the
development lengths of reinforcing bars bonded in concrete with adhesives
are often significantly shorter than development lengths of cast-in bars.
As with cast-in bars, loads on adhesive bonded reinforcing bars are
transmitted to and cause stress in the surrounding concrete.

The stress around a single reinforcing bar in tension remote from a concrete
edge is given by:

A b .f sy
σb = .....Equation 1

σb = Bond Stress to the Concrete (MPa)

Ab = Cross-sectional Area of the Bar (mm2)
fsy = Steel Yield Stress (MPa)
Lsy.t = Minimum embedment length of rebar to develop
steel yield stress (mm)
π = pi
db = nominal bar diameter (mm)
In the case where spacing and edge distances are remote, there is enough
concrete cover to the bar and adhesive to dissipate the stresses in the
concrete and avoid splitting failures.
However, the situation changes when another bar or bars is/are introduced

skilled persons. It is the designer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with

the relevant standards, codes of practice, building regulations, workplace
regulations and statutes as applicable.

This section must be used in conjunction with AS3600 – 2018 and is

intended to assist in design of reinforcing bar connections where they are
post-installed using ChemSetTM Anchoring adhesives rather than being cast
into the concrete.

For selection of the appropriate reinforcing bar diameter, reference should

be made to the manufacturer’s design tables and
AS3600 – 2018.

The document provides the steel yield development length Lsy.t, required by
AS3600 – 2018, clause 13.1.2.2 for Grade 500 reinforcing bars post-installed
with ChemSet™ Anchoring adhesives into concrete.

The design process begins with the Designer choosing the relevant Design
Case:

The Design Cases are:

1. Development Length of single bar remote from an edge
2. Development Length of multiple bars in concrete elements.
(Large clear anchor spacing)
3. Development Length of multiple bars in concrete elements.
(Medium clear anchor spacing)
4. Development Length of multiple bars in concrete elements.
(Minimum clear anchor spacing)

Having obtained the nominal development length for the design case,
adjustment is made for the influence of concrete compressive strength to
yield the value Lsy.t.

In the case where there is not sufficient depth of concrete for the
reinforcing bar to be installed to Lsy.t, or the stress area of tensile steel
exceeds design requirements, the stress (σst) less than the yield strength
(fsy) developed in the bar is provided for a variety of lengths (Lst), per clause
13.1.2.4 of AS3600 - 2018. Having obtained the stress developed in the bar
for a nominated installed length, adjustment is made to the developed
stress for the influence of concrete compressive strength.

Using the AS1170 family of Australian Standards, the design action effect Consider the previous case; however the footing depth is 590 mm. Given
causing tension in reinforcing bars is calculated to be: minimum cover is 50 mm, the maximum bar length is 540 mm.
N* = 637 kN/m. run
Use stress developed in the bar to determine the centre spacings required
to achieve the design load case at shorter bar lengths.

From Table 2, Using Lst = 540 mm

Rebar Size = 24
gives, σst (nom) = 386 MPa
From Table 2b, Xnc = 1.12 @ 40 MPa

The stress developed in the bar at this depth is,

σst = σst (nom) * Xnc

= 430 MPa
hence, N* ≤ ϕσst * Ab
therefore, 637 * 103 N ≤ 0.8 * 430 * Ab
Consider design of Grade 500 reinforcement bar, fully developed. transposing gives us, Ab ≥ 1852 mm2

To satisfy Strength Limit State Design criteria, From reinforcement bar manufacturers tables,

N* ≤ ϕfsy * Ab Rebar Size 24 @ 250 mm. centres provides 1850 mm2/m. run
therefore, 637 * 103 N ≤ 0.8 * 500 * Ab
transposing gives us, Ab ≥ 1593 mm2 Which satisfies our steel sectional requirement.

EXPANSION ANCHORS - NON-CRACKED CONCRETE

GENERAL INFORMATION

Mechanical Anchoring
Product
The Boa™ Coil Anchor is a heavy duty, rotation
setting expansion anchor.

Benefits, Advantages and Features

High load capacity:
• Expansion coil locks into concrete to give cast-in type performance.
• High tensile capacity of grade 8.8 steel bolt.
High clamping load:
• Rotation setting action pulls down.
Principal Applications
Resistant to cyclic loading: • Installing handrails and balustrades
• Pull-down action. • Machinery hold down
Fast installation: • Formwork support
• hrough fixing eliminates marking out and repositioning of fixtures. • Safety barriers
Easy and fast to remove: • Scaffolding
• Expansion coil stays in hole leaving no protruding metal
parts to grind off.
Ramset Design Method:
• Uses technical data validated from testing in ANZ concrete substrates

Installation

1 2 3 4

1. Drill or core a hole to the recommended diameter and depth

using the fixture as a template. Clean the hole thoroughly with
a hole cleaning brush. Remove the debris with a hand pump,
compressed air, or vacuum.
2. After ensuring that the anchor is assembled correctly (the coil
tab points up the anchor), insert the anchor through the fixture.
3. Tap the anchor down to the depth set mark, with a hammer,
and stop.
4. Wind the anchor down, with an appropriately sized spanner or
socket wrench, until the washer is firmly held to the fixture
and stop (5 turns). Ensure washer is tight and snug fit.
5. The Boa™ Coil anchor is ready to take load. (The bolt can be
removed leaving the coil in the hole. To re-insert, follow steps 3 - 4.)

1. Drill hole to correct diameter and depth. Important: Use Ramset™

Dustless Drilling System to ensure holes are clean. Alternatively, clean
clean thoroughly with brush and remove debris by way of vacuum or hand
pump, compressed air etc.
2. Using a socket wrench, screw the AnkaScrew™ Xtrem™ into the hole using
slight pressure until the self tapping action starts.
3. Tighten the AnkaScrew™ Xtrem™ until flush with fixture.
If resistance is experienced when tightening, unscrew anchor one turn
and re-tighten. Ensure not to over tighten. Refer to tightening torque for
limitations.

• Simply screws into hole. Principal Applications
Fast and easy to remove: • Pallet racking
• Screws out leaving an empty hole with no protruding metal parts • Temporary safety barriers
to grind off. • Conveyors
• Pipe brackets
Close to edge and for close anchor spacing: • Gate hinges into brickwork
• Does not expand and burst concrete. • Temporary hand rails
Ramset Design Method: • Bottom plates
• Uses technical data validated from testing in ANZ concrete substrates

Installation

1 2 3

1. Drill hole to correct diameter and depth. Clean thoroughly with brush.
Remove debris by way of vacuum or hand pump, compressed air etc.
2. Using a socket wrench, screw the WERCS AnkaScrew™ into the hole
using slight pressure until the self tapping action starts.
3. Tighten the WERCS AnkaScrew™ until flush with fixture.
If resistance is experienced when tightening, unscrew anchor one turn
and re-tighten. Ensure not to over tighten.

Installation

1 2 3

1. Drill hole to correct diameter and depth. Important: Use Ramset™

Dustless Drilling System to ensure holes are clean. Alternatively, clean
thoroughly with brush and remove debris by way of vacuum or hand
pump, compressed air etc.
2. Using a socket wrench, screw the AnkaScrew™ Xtrem™ into the hole using
slight pressure until the self tapping action starts.
3. Tighten the AnkaScrew™ Xtrem™ until flush with fixture.
If resistance is experienced when tightening, unscrew anchor one turn
and re-tighten. Ensure not to over tighten. Refer to tightening torque for
limitations.
