Revised Standard from Last Update.

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard covers the requirements for technical supply conditions of cast-in foundation bolts installed before placing concrete in the size range M8 to M72.

1.2 This standard does not cover design method for cast-in bolts subjected to static loading, fatigue loading, seismic loading, fire exposure. This standard does not provide a design method for fastenings to transmit loads. The resistance to tension loads, shear loads, combined tension-shear loads and the displacement serviceability limits have not been covered in this code.

NOTE - It depends on the base material into which the cast-in bolts are embedded; type and direction of loads; type of cast-in bolts and material used for cast-in bolts, cast-in bolt groups, number of cast-in bolts; installation procedure for cast-in bolts; dimensions of cast-in bolts; embedded material type and length of cast-in bolts; factor of safety considered in design of particular cast-in bolt group system; lever arm for shear loads; failure of metal part of cast-in bolt for tension and shear load with/without lever arm; pull-out failure of cast-in bolt/bolts for tension loads; masonry breakout failure for tension loads; pull out of one brick masonry for tension loads; influence of joints for tension loads and shear loads; local brick masonry failure for shear loads; brick masonry edge failure for shear loads, pushing out of one brick masonry for shear loads; edge distance; thickness of masonry base member; masonry base material compressive strength; Technical Assessment data of cast-in bolts as per regulations.

1.3 Cast-in foundation bolts complying with this standard shall be designed using relevant standards.

1.4 This standard is not applicable to post-installed mechanical metal fasteners and bonded fasteners placed into pre-drilled holes for connecting structural elements and non-structural elements to structural components.
