Structural steel elements, cladding/facade panels, and mechanical/electrical equipment are commonly supported and tied to concrete using means of anchors. This includes cast-in-place anchors (new construction) as well as post-installed anchors (existing structures).
This intensive half-day course will provide a detailed explanation of CSA A23.3-14 Appendix D "Anchorage to Concrete". Emphasis will be placed on design optimization, adhesive anchor provisions, seismic provisions, and construction considerations of anchors. Available commercial tools and special requirements for the anchorage of vibratory equipment, such as pumps and compressors, will be highlighted in this course
Efficiently design anchors subjected to tensile and/or shear forces per CSA code requirements
Properly detail supplementary reinforcement required to increase anchor capacity
Specify construction and installation requirements for vibratory and dynamic applications
