Introduction
SPECIFIERS RESOURCE BOOK
Welcome To The Ramset™ Specifiers Resource Book

This concise and systematically presented book contains the 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
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 “Ramset 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.

3.1 Simplified Design
APPROACH
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
Design Process
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 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 in order to select an anchor type that best meets the needs of your application.
STRENGTH LIMIT STATE DESIGN
STEP 1 Select anchor to be evaluated
Refer to table 1a, ‘Indicative combined loading – Interaction Diagram’ This is an important structural dimension that will be referred to in

If the above questions are answered satisfactorily,

proceed to step 2.

consideration must now be given to other tensile failure mechanisms. 3

ACTION Note down the value of ØNus
For internally threaded anchoring products that utilise a separate bolt Design reduced ultimate tensile capacity, ØNur
such as the Threaded Insert anchor, make use of step 3b to verify the
reduced characteristic ultimate bolt steel tensile capacity (ØNtf). ØNur = minimum of ØNurc, ØNus, ØNtf
Check N* / ØNur ≤ 1,
if not satisfied return to step 1
This completes the tensile design process, we now look to verify that
adequate shear capacity is available.

APPROACH
STEP 4 Verify concrete shear capacity - per anchor
Referring to table 4a, determine the reduced characteristic ultimate Examples

concrete edge shear capacity (ØVuc). This is the basic capacity,
uninfluenced by anchor spacings and is for the specific edge distance
and concrete compressive strength(s) noted.
Design Process
ACTION Note down the value for ØVuc n=3

Calculate the concrete compressive strength effect, shear, Xvc by V*TOTAL
referring to table 4b. This multiplier considers the influence of the

used in table 4a above.
ACTION Note down the value for Xvc
The angle of incidence of the shear load acting towards an edge is

For a row of anchors located close to an edge, the influence of the

anchor spacing on the concrete edge shear capacity is considered by
the factor Xva, anchor spacing effect, concrete edge shear.
Note that this factor deals with a row of anchors parallel to the edge n=2
and assumes that all anchors are loaded equally.
V*TOTAL
If designing for a single anchor, Xva = 1.0
Note: Consider capacity of two anchors in row
ACTION Note down the value for Xva closest to edge only,
ie. anchor load = V*TOTAL/2 to each anchor.
In order to distribute the concrete edge shear evenly to all anchors

If designing for a single anchor, Xvn = 1.0 4

Design reduced concrete shear capacity, ØVurc
ØVurc = ØVuc * Xvc * Xvd * Xva * Xvn * Xvs (kN)
This calculation takes into consideration the influences of concrete

compressive strength, edge distance and anchor spacing to arrive at
the design reduced concrete shear capacity.
For a design involving two or more anchors in a row parallel to an

edge, this value is the average capacity of each anchor assuming each
is loaded equally.
ACTION Note down the value of ØVurc

APPROACH
STEP 5 Verify anchor shear capacity - per anchor
Having calculated the concrete shear capacity above (ØVurc),

consideration must now be given to other shear failure mechanisms. 5
Calculate the reduced characteristic ultimate steel shear capacity
(ØVus) from table(s) 5a.
Design Process
Design reduced shear capacity, ØVur

such as the Threaded Insert anchor, make use of step 5b to verify the
reduced characteristic ultimate bolt steel shear capacity (ØVsf).
ØVur = minimum of ØVurc, ØVus, ØVsf
Check V* / ØVur ≤ 1,
This completes the shear design process, we now look to verify that
adequate combined capacity is available for load cases having both
shear and tensile components.
STEP 6 Combined loading and specification
For load cases having both tensile and shear components, verify that
the relationship represented here is satisfied. 6
Check
N*/ØNur + V*/ØVur ≤ 1.2,

as detailed.

3.2 Worked Example
Verify capacity of the anchors detailed below:
Given data:
Concrete compressive strength f’c 50 MPa
Design tensile action effect N*TOTAL 72 kN
Design shear action effect V*TOTAL 180 kN
Edge distance e 250 mm
Design Process
Anchor spacing a 150 mm

Fixture plate + grout thickness t 17 mm
No. of anchors in shear n 4
As the design process considers design action effects PER anchor,

distribute 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* 45 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™ Plus anchors will be suitable for selection.
Having completed the preliminary selection component of the design

process, commence the Strength Limit State Design process.

3.2 Worked Example
Refer to table 1a, ‘Indicative combined loading – interaction diagram’ The effective depth, h, is calculated by making reference to the
on page 187. Applying both the N* value and V* value to the ‘Description and Part Numbers’ table on page 186 and calculating
interaction, it can be seen that the intersection of the two values falls effective depth, h = Le - t.

Hence, h = 125 - 17
Design Process
ACTION M16 anchor size selected. = 108 mm
Confirm that absolute minima requirements are met. ACTION h = 108

Anchor selected is SP16145
From table 1b (page 187) for M16 SpaTec™ Plus, it is required that
edge distance, e > 160 mm. and that anchor spacing,
a > 105 mm.

The design values of e = 250 mm and a = 150 mm comply with
these minima, hence continue to step 1c.

Referring to table 2a, consider the value obtained for an M16 anchor As we are considering anchor ‘B’ for this example, use table 2e

ACTION Xne = 1.00 (no effect) Design reduced concrete tensile capacity, ØNurc
ØNurc = ØNuc * Xnc * Xne * Xnai (kN)

= 48.5 * 1.25 * 1.00 * 0.45
= 27.3 kN
ACTION ØNurc = 27.3 kN

3.2 Worked Example
3
From table 3a, verify the reduced characteristic ultimate steel tensile
capacity, ØNus.
For an M16 SpaTec™ Plus, ØNus = 100.5 kN. ØNur = minimum of ØNurc, ØNus
Design Process
ACTION ØNus = 100.5 kN

In this case ØNur = 27.3 kN (governed by concrete capacity).
18 / 27.3 = 0.66 ≤ 1
Tensile design criteria satisfied, proceed to Step 4.
Referring to table 4a, consider the value obtained for an M16 anchor In order to distribute the shear load evenly to all anchors in the group,
at e = 250 mm. the multiple anchors effect, concrete edge shear, Xvn value is retrieved

value using table 4d. Design reduced concrete shear capacity, ØVurc
ACTION Xva = 0.62 ØVurc = ØVuc * Xvc * Xvd * Xva * Xvn * Xvs (kN)
= 80.2 * 1.25 * 1.32 * 0.62 * 0.69 * 1.00
= 56.6 kN
ACTION ØVurc = 56.6 kN

From table 5a, verify the reduced characteristic ultimate
steel shear capacity, ØVus. 5
The shear capacity available from the SpaTec™ Plus anchor is ØVur = minimum of ØVurc, ØVus
subject to its effective depth, h value. As was noted earlier
h = 108 mm for this example, hence,
In this case ØVur = 56.6 kN (governed by concrete capacity).
for an M16 SpaTec™ Plus at h = 108 mm, ØVus = 104.5 kN Check V* / ØVur ≤ 1,
ACTION ØVus = 104.5 kN 45 / 56.6 = 0.80 ≤ 1
Shear design criteria satisfied, proceed to Step 6.

3.2 Worked Example
6
Check that the combined loading relationship is satisfied: Re-consider the design using the adjusted values with anchor spacing,
Design Process
“a” set at 200 mm.
N*/ØNur + V*/ØVur ≤ 1.2, ØNuc = 48.5 kN

Xnc = 1.25
18 / 27.3 + 45 / 56.6 = 1.45 > 1.2 Xne = 1.00
Xnai = 0.61
Combined loading criteria FAILED.
Hence ØNurc = 37.0 kN (at a = 200 mm).
Review the design process and examine the critical factors influencing ØVuc = 80.2 kN
the overall anchor capacity. Xvc = 1.25
Xvd = 1.32
For tension (governed by concrete failure), Xva = 0.66
Xvn = 0.74 (at a = 200 mm, hence a / e = 0.8)
ØNuc = 48.5 kN Xvs = 1.00
Xnc = 1.25
Xne = 1.00 Hence ØVurc = 64.6 kN (at a = 200 mm).
Xnai = 0.45
Now,
It can be seen from the above values that whilst the concrete
compressive strength effect, Xnc improves the design ultimate tensile
capacity, the anchor spacing effect, Xnai significantly reduces design N*/ØNur + V*/ØVur ≤ 1.2,
ultimate tensile capacity.
18 / 37.0 + 45 / 64.6 = 1.18 < 1.2
Possible solution: Increase anchor spacing to raise the value of Xnai. Combined loading criteria PASSES.
For shear (governed by concrete failure),
ØVuc = 80.2 kN
Xvc = 1.25 Specify
Xvd = 1.32
Xva = 0.62 Ramset™ SpaTec™ Plus Anchor,

Possible solution: Increase anchor spacing to raise the value of Xva.
Note that increasing the anchor spacing for this design will improve

5.1 Derivation of Capacity
ANCHORING TECHNOLOGY
Anchoring
Technology
Anchoring Techology
5.1 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.
Quantity of test results
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 Xuc x
for the variance in results as well as mean values.
Tested ultimate load
The Characteristic Value chosen is that which ensures that a 90%
confidence is obtained that 95% of all test results will fall above x = Mean Ultimate Capacity
this value. Xuc = Characteristic Ultimate Capacity
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.

wrench, rotating the bolt through the coil, thereby setting the anchor.

Anchoring Techology
The diameter of the drilled hole is a similar size to that of the anchor.
Note that for the purpose of calculating “h”, the fixture thickness “t”
should include the thickness of non structural grout, packing, etc. Resistance to tensile load is provided by the two (2) components which
make up the Boa™ Coil anchor, the “bolt” and the “coil”.
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
t 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,
h 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.

5.11 Long Term Preload
DEGRADATION
In considering the long term performance in concrete of expansion

anchors under cyclic loading, account must be taken of concrete creep
which causes a degradation of preload over time. Immediately after the
application of assembly torque and the establishment of initial preload,
there is a rapid initial reduction in preload, followed by a continued
gradual reduction over time, towards a long term limiting value of “PL”,
at “λ” % of initial preload. As a guide, “λ” may be taken as typically
Anchoring Techology
70% for SpaTec™ Plus anchors, and as 40% for DynaBolt™ and
TruBolt™ anchors.
In a particular application, the proportion of preload permanently

retained will depend upon concrete strength, concrete quality including
curing, level and direction of concrete stress, applied load level, timing
of applied loads, and the value of the total spring rate for the anchor/
fixture/base material system.

AS3600 allows for various depths of concrete cover to bars depending
on environmental and other circumstances. The designer must refer to
AS3600 to determine required cover.
The development length is a function of adhesive bond stress so a limit
state factor of 0.6 is applied: In the following tables a minimum cover of 30 mm or 2 x db
(2.5 x db edge distance) is adopted.
Lsy.t / Ø = Ab.fsy / (0.6.σb.π.db)………...Equation 3

For designs where there are multiple parallel reinforcing bars in

structural elements such as walls, floors, beams and columns,
concrete splitting factors from section 13.1 of AS3600 should be
used. Concrete splitting is independent of adhesive bond strength and
should be applied to all adhesive bonded bars where the design is
intended to comply with AS3600.

21.1 Design Process
This information is intended for use by qualified engineers or other

suitably 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 – 2009 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 – 2009.
The document provides the steel yield development length Lsy.t, required
by AS3600 – 2009, 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)
(Medium clear anchor spacing)
(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 - 2009. 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.

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 = 530 mm

Product Le
The Boa™ Coil Anchor is a heavy duty, rotation

setting expansion anchor.

High load capacity: db
• 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.
Resistant to cyclic loading: • Installing handrails and balustrades
• Pull-down action. • Machinery hold down
Fast installation: • Formwork support
• Through 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.
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.
Tap the anchor down to the depth set mark, with a hammer,
and stop.
3. 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.
4. 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.)

STUD ANCHORS

Anchors with strengths higher in the reduced section than in the
threaded section, are formed by cold working. The reduced section is
located under the expansion sleeve.
For shear loads, the critical plane is located in the threaded section,
and for tensile loads, the critical plane is located at the reduced
section.

Product
The WERCS AnkaScrew™ Anchor is a medium duty,
rotation setting thread forming anchor.

Fast and easy to install:
• 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
Close to edge and for close anchor spacing: • Pipe brackets
• Does not expand and burst concrete. • Gate hinges into brickwork
• Temporary hand rails
• Bottom plates
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.

Introduction
Ramset™ has a number of anchoring systems which are specifically designed to achieve Fire Rating requirements for various applications.
The existing range of medium duty suspension anchors such as, AnkaScrew™ Rod and Stud and DynaSet™ Anchors, have been independently
tested in accordance with Australian Fire test standards AS1530.4 to provide up to 2 hours capacity in a fire situation.
Furthermore, Ramset™ also have a range of heavy duty mechanical and chemical anchoring systems such as, SpaTec™ Plus, TruBolt™
and EPCON™ C8, which have all been independently tested for capacity in a fire situation. The Fire resistance duration for these anchoring
systems varies with design cases available between 30 to 240 minutes. This section will provide you with data to help with your Fire Rating Level
requirements when considering a post-installed fixing system.

Introduction
This section of the Specifiers Resource Book provides you with solutions for post-installed anchors where there is a Seismic/Earthquake
performance requirement. Currently there are two international standards which are used to derive Seismic performance data for Mechanical and
Chemical Anchors installed in concrete.
One standard is from the United States (ACI – American Concrete Institute) and the other standard is from Europe (EOTA – European Organisation
for Technical Approvals). The European Standard for metal anchors under seismic action was introduced in April 2013 and provides Category 1
performance (i.e. smaller earthquakes tested to 0.5mm crack width & equivalent to current ACI 355.2/ACI 355.4 test methods) and Category 2
performance (i.e. larger earthquakes tested to 0.8mm crack width).
The following flow chart provides you with guidance on how anchors are Seismically Certified;

Note: The above European Standard has also been drafted into a pre-standard prEN 1992-4 - Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures
- Part 4: Design of fastenings for use in concrete.
In summary, Mechanical & Chemical anchors can be seismically certified provided they are tested to the requirements of either
standard. Proof of the certification can either be by a recognized report (i.e. ETA or ICC ESR) or a Certified Laboratory Test Report
(i.e an independent test report based on an accredited laboratory’s test results).
