Design of cast-in headed and hooked fasteners
Cast-in fastenings for use in concrete are widely used in Australia. While design guidelines for headed fasteners are currently in place in Europe and the US, guidance on the design of hold-down bolts and hooked bolts (J- and L- bolts) is currently only available in the US. These types of fastenings to concrete are frequently used in safety-critical applications whereby failure may have serious consequences including risk to human life and significant economic consequences. In Australia, there are currently no design guidelines for these types of fastenings. Poor design procedures and lack of understanding of performance limitation of these fastenings have resulted in failures of base structures around the country. This paper presents design guidelines for cast-in fastenings to concrete including headed fasteners and hooked bolts that have been endorsed by the Australian Engineered Fasteners and Anchors Council (AEFAC). These design guidelines provide design engineers with greater confidence that the product will perform as required throughout its service life. Included in this paper are general design considerations to deliver best practice solutions.
