Designers and installers of anchors face an unlimited variety of anchoring products. This guide provides an overview of the Hilti anchors available for this market and all design data relevant to our anchoring products. It is intended to make users work easier by providing a quick reference to solve fastening problems on site. The guidet includes an anchor selection chart where anchors are grouped depending on the method of transferring load into concrete. They are mechanical anchors and chemical or adhesive anchors. Two additional groups complete the range:light duty anchors and insulation fasteners.
The design data shown in this guide is the factored characteristic load of the fastener or Design Resistance to be compared with your factored load or Design Load. Design data is not included for light duty anchors or insulation fasteners. If you have any questions about this guide or any other technical enquiry, please contact Hilti Technical Advisory Service on GB - 0161 886 1144 / IRL - 01 886 4113 or visit the Tech Centre in our website www.hilti.co.uk / www.hilti.ie.
Design approach
Anchor design requires careful consideration of both the required loading capacity and the required safety of the anchorage. The safety aspect is taken care by the use of safety factors. Your factored load (or Design load) must not exceed the factored characteristic load of the fastener (or Design resistance) for a successful anchor design. Design load < Design resistance Design load = Working load x F The design resistance is the holding power of a fixing. Hilti establishes it by carrying out extensive anchor testing in accordance with recognised standards and building codes. We are therefore able to predict the performance of our fixings into concrete.
Design resistance = Characteristic value of resistance / M F and M are partial safety factors which allow for the uncertainty of the applied loads and inaccuracies when defining limiting conditions. Greater degrees of safety can be associated with critical parts of design. These are usually specified in standards and codes of practice.
Please note that in order to use the data in this guide, minimum conditions for h and c must be met. Otherwise, consult Hilti Technical Advisory Service on 0161 886 1144.

Factored characteristic load of the fastener (Design Resistance) to be compared with your factored load (Design Load). Optimum edge and spacing distances quoted in the table opposite are the allowable for the design resistance to apply. These are the dimensions required for a pair of anchors to achieve the loads in this table. If conditions are different, appropriate reduction factors must be applied. Contact Hilti Technical Advisory Service on (GB) - 0161 886 1144 (IRL) - 01 886 4113. Minimum edge and spacing distances quoted in the table opposite are the minimum allowable. If this distance is required, the resistance from the anchor is affected by reduction factors. Contact Hilti Technical Advisory Service on (GB) - 0161 886 1144 (IRL) 01 886 4113.

Material
Does the anchor have the same corrosion resistance properties? Have you carefully considered the environment in which the anchor is to be used? Have you considered the material of the part fastened for dissimilar materials? Is the resin styrene free, not a polyester and does it have a suitable curing time? Does the resin anchor have a durable foil capsule? Is the anchor a suitable grade of steel? 5.8 or 8.8? Has the anchor been designed taking into account fire requirements? Is the anchor cold formed making it more ductile and durable?
Safety
Has the anchor been designed taking into account load type and direction? Has the anchor been designed taking into account load edge distance? Has the anchor been designed taking into account load spacing between fixings? Has the anchor been designed taking into account load concrete strength? Has the anchor been designed taking into account load depth of embedment? Has the anchor been designed taking into account load thickness of the component fastened? Has the anchor been designed taking into account service temperature? Is the anchor suitable for the existing base material? Hard/soft/hollow?
Reliability
Has the anchor been tested and is the test data available/accurate? Is the anchor suitable for dynamic loads? Fatigue/shock/seismic? Does the anchor have the necessary approvals/ETAs/CE markings? Have you considered the ease of setting of the anchor to avoid poor workmanship? Does the anchor reliability pull down the part fastened? Does the fixing tighten up without rotating? Can the manufacturer of this anchor provide site support and testing?
Is the anchor suitable for the tensile zone/ cracked concrete? Is the anchor pre-assembled saving time?
Appearance
Does the anchor have a suitable head type? Countersunk/Torx/Hexagon? Does the anchor have a head marking for identification after setting? Will the anchor discolour over time through lack of corrosion resistance?
Unless you are confident that all the above questions have been considered and where relevant, answered in the affirmative, you can not reliably and safely change the specification. Should you require assistance please call Hilti Technical Advisory Services on 0161 886 1144.
