d. Adhesive (Chemical) Anchors. Adhesive anchors consist of a threaded rod installed in
a hole drilled in hardened concrete and filled with a two-component epoxy, polyester, or
vinylester resin adhesive. The hole is about 3 mm (1/8") larger than the bolt diameter.
Adhesive anchors should not be used in structural elements that are required to be fire
resistant. They should not be installed in wet or damp conditions or in concrete where there is
adhesive anchors. Therefore, design should be based on the manufacture recommendations,
and testing should be required to assure the installed anchors meet strength requirements.
Additional guidance on adhesive anchors can be found in the ACI Paper entitled "Bond Stress
Model for Design of Adhesive Anchors", by Cook, R.A., Doerr, G.T., and Klingner, R.E., ACI
Journal / Sept-Oct 1993.
