3 Definitions and symbols
Definitions and symbols are given in CEN/TS 1992-4-1.
4 Basis of design
4.5.4 The following assumptions in respect to installation have been made in this CEN/TS. The installation
instructions should reflect them:
1) Concrete has been compacted adequately in the area of the fastening. This should be checked prior
and during installation via visual check.
2) Requirements for drilling operation and bore hole:
 Holes are drilled perpendicular to the surface of the concrete unless specifically required
otherwise by the manufacturer’s instructions.
 Drilling is carried out by method specified by the manufacturer.
 When hard metal hammer-drill bits are used, they should comply with ISO or National Standards.
 When diamond core drilling is permitted, the diameter of the segments should comply with the
prescribed diameter.
 Reinforcement in close proximity to the holes position is not damaged during drilling. In
prestressed concrete structures it is ensured that the distance between the drilling hole and the
prestressed reinforcement is at least 50mm; for determination of the position of the prestressed
reinforcement in the structure a suitable device e.g. a reinforcement detector is used.
 Holes are cleaned according to the instructions given in the European Technical Specification.
 Aborted drill holes are filled with high strength non-shrinkage mortar.
3) Inspection and approval of the correct installation of the fasteners is carried out by appropriately
qualified personnel.

NOTE Many drill bits exhibit a mark indicating that they are in accordance with ISO or National Standards. If the drill
bits do not bear a conformity mark, evidence of suitability should be provided.
5 Determination of action effects
The determination and analysis of the condition of the concrete – cracked or non-cracked – serving as base
material for the fastener and of the loads acting on the fastener is given in CEN/TS 1992-4-1:2009,
clause 5.

6 Verification of ultimate limit state by elastic analysis
6.1 General
6.1.5 This section applies when forces on the fasteners have been calculated using elastic analysis.
CEN/TS 1992-4-1:2009, Annex B should be used for plastic analysis.
6.1.6 For the design of post-installed fasteners in the ultimate limit state, there are three different design
methods available.
The methods differ in the degree of simplification at the expense of conservatism:
Method A: Resistance is established for all load directions and all modes of failure, using
actual values of edge distance c to the fasteners and spacing s between
fasteners in a group.
Method B: A single value of resistance is used for all load directions and modes of failure.
This resistance is related to the characteristic values c and s . It is permitted to
cr cr
use smaller values for c and s than these but the resistance should then be
modified as indicated.
Method C: As method B but the values of c and s should not be less than c and s .
cr cr
Each method has further options with regard to
a) use of fasteners in cracked and non-cracked or uncracked concrete; and
b) the concrete strength class for which the resistance is valid.
The above possibilities (assessment options) are summarized in Table 2 and described in detail in 6.2 to 6.4.
The design method to be applied is given in the relevant European Technical Specification.
With design method A technical data may be published also for design methods B or C and with method B
also for design method C. But data for method C do not support method A or B and data for method B do not
support design method A.
6.1.7 The spacing between outer fasteners of adjoining groups or the distance to single fasteners shall be
a > s (design method A) or s respectively (design methods B and C).

6.1.8 Aborted drill holes filled with high strength non-shrinkage mortar do not have to be considered in the
design of the fastenings.
