Designation:E151201(Reapproved 2015)Standard Test Methods forTesting Bond Performance of Bonded Anchors1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1512;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 These test methods cover instructions for making avariety of tests for the strength of the adhesive bond developedbetween a steel anchor and the surface of a hole in concrete ormasonry(including masonry units and mortar joints)and forassessing the effects on such bond of a variety of factorsincluding elevated temperature,fire,moisture,and freezing andthawing action.The specifier or manufacturer shall select thosetests that are appropriate for the given anchoring system andintended application.1.2 The adhesive-bonded anchor system refers to a smoothor deformed steel bar or threaded rod,set in a predrilled holecontaining chemical bonding compounds.Loads are trans-ferred mainly by the bond of the adhesive both to the anchorand the surrounding elements along the sides of the hole.Foranchoring systems made of significantly different materials,these test methods shall be taken as a guideline.1.3 These test methods apply to all adhesives used to bondsteel anchors or steel reinforcement bars(rebar)to concrete ormasonry.These test methods apply to anchorages used inuncracked concrete or masonry.They do not apply to the use ofthe anchor in the concrete tension zone.The usual forcesapplied during the tests are in tension,shear,and under acombination of both tension and shear.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and to determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C666/C666M Test Method for Resistance of Concrete toRapid Freezing and ThawingE119 Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Constructionand MaterialsE488/E488M Test Methods for Strength of Anchors inConcrete ElementsE575 Practice for Reporting Data from Structural Tests ofBuilding Constructions,Elements,Connections,and As-semblies3.Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 baseline testrestrained test conducted on anchorsinstalled in the same test member and under the same instal-lation method as a required environmental test for comparisonpurposes.3.1.2 bonded anchora fastener placed in hardened con-crete or masonry that derives its holding strength from achemical compound placed between the wall of the hole andthe embedded portion of the anchor.4.Significance and Use4.1 These test methods are intended to provide informationfrom which applicable design data and specifications arederived for a given anchorage device and for qualifyinganchors or anchorage devices.4.2 These test methods shall be followed to ensure repro-ducibility of the test data.5.General Requirements5.1 The adhesive bonded anchors to be tested shall berepresentative of the product made available for typical fieldinstallations.The manufacturer shall provide information onphysical,mechanical,and chemical properties of the anchorsystem.If required by a customer or approval agency,the1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E06 onPerformance of Buildings and are the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E06.13on Structural Performance of Connections in Building Construction.Current edition approved Oct.1,2015.Published October 2015.Originallyapproved in 1993.Last previous edition approved in 2007 as E1512 01(2007).DOI:10.1520/E1512-01R15.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 testing laboratory shall verify,or have a specialized laboratoryverify,the physical,mechanical,and chemical properties of theadhesive.5.2 The installation equipment,instructions,and proceduresshall be as specified by the manufacturer.If there are anydeviations from the manufacturers instructions when testingcommercial anchors,they shall be described in the report.5.3 The structural members shall be as described in TestMethods E488/E488M.5.4 The test and measuring equipment for performing statictension and shear tests,as well as dynamic tests,are describedin Test Methods E488/E488
