Hilti HST3 Metal Expansion Anchor

PERFORMANCE IN
EVERY CONDITION.

Designers and engineers asked for it, so Hilti delivered: introducing the next generation HST3 metal expansion anchor. HST3 is the successor
of HST - the first metal expansion anchor ever to carry an approval for cracked concrete. HST3 is now suitable for an even wider range of
applications and conditions for added reassurance on your daily designs.
Hilti HST3 is the perfect design solution for all safety relevant application for non-cracked and cracked concrete under static, seismic and
shock loading. Meets challenging design requirements with ease such as smallest edge and spacing distances in combination with highest
resistance values, thanks to its optimized coating, ingenious sleeve geometry and premium bolt material.

DESIGNED TO OUTPERFORM
THE PAST AND THE PRESENT.

Crack retraction effect
Crack development occurs due to static loading and induced
deformation in the tension zones of concrete structures. While
reinforcement does not prevent cracking, it controls it. When cracks
form in concrete, there is high likelihood that the cracks will intersect
the anchor locations. This occurs because higher tensile stresses
exist around the anchor as a result of hoop stresses, possible local
flexural stresses and stress concentrations.
Predictable performance Higher load performance at the same embedment depth
The presence of cracks in concrete can negatively influence the load The new HST3 presents two embedment depths that make design more versatile. Significantly higher loads can be achieved at the same
bearing behavior of an expansion anchor. If unsuitable expansion embedment depth and application on thinner slabs is approved.
anchors are used for applications in cracked concrete, they can
exhibit behavior known as “uncontrolled slip”. During uncontrolled
slip, the anchor is pulled out partially or completely from the hole
