Current seismic design standards in the US.
The American building code, IBC 2009, references the design provisions issued by the American Concrete Institute (ACI) in
ACI 318-08, Appendix D, which provides methods to calculate the design capacities of anchorages under seismic conditions
according to the strength design methodology (ultimate limit states). These provisions apply to structures located in medium to
high seismic zones (Seismic Design Categories (SDC) C, D, E, or F), where the concrete base material shall be assumed to be
cracked unless otherwise demonstrated.
Post-installed anchors designed using the methods in ACI
318-08, Appendix D, must be pre-qualified by extensive testing under ACI 355.2. The International Code Council (ICC)
Evaluation Service provides a path to prequalification through
acceptance criteria AC 193 for mechanical anchors and AC
308 for chemical anchors. These criteria define the testing
methods and assessment procedures to develop design parameters compliant with Appendix D.
Specific product characteristics as well as material safety
factors can be found in the Evaluation Service Report (ESR)
issued by ICC, which enable the determination of the product
resistances such as concrete breakout, pull-out, tensile and
shear steel capacities. ICC-ES evaluation service reports and
acceptance criteria can be found at www.icc-es.org
Inelastic
(plastic hinge)
Elastic
Anchorage in locations in a structure expected to undergo inelastic
deformation (so-called plastic hinges) is beyond the scope of Appendix D due to a higher intensity of cracking and spalling.

Concrete for Use in Seismic Applications,” Dissertation, University of Stuttgart

Anchors are developed and
tested for use in cracked
concrete. Additional tests
under cyclic loads on anchors
located in cracks are performed.
The third party assessment
leads to an ICC-ES report in
which the anchor resistance
data are reported. These
data include specific capacities for seismic loads.
In the European landscape of design standards, provisions for
seismic design of post-installed anchors in concrete are given
in Part 1 of CEN/TS 1992-4:2009 “Design of fasteners for use
in concrete”. The Eurocode 8 (EN 1998-1:2004) covers the
loads acting on buildings and civil engineering structures in
seismic regions and needs to be taken into account together
with the Eurocode 1 (EN 1991-1-6:2005) in all seismic zones
except in cases of very low seismicity1.
However, currently there are no pre-qualification criteria
for post-installed anchors under seismic loading within the
European Technical Approval Guidelines, which implies that
post-installed anchors under seismic conditions are not yet

covered by a European Technical Approval. As a result, in
present day it is not possible to perform seismic design of
anchors within the European code and regulation framework.
Nevertheless, one may apply engineering judgement by referring consistently to the resistances determined according to
ACI 318-08, Appendix D, on the basis of the ICC-ES reports
and comparing them with the loads defined according with
EN 1998-1:2004 and EN 1991-1-6:2005.

Good to know.
Having 163 floors available for use,
the Burj Khalifa, in the United Arab
Emirates, is the tallest building in
the world. It is outfitted with Hilti
firestop products. The challenge our
field engineers faced was to close all
joints between the floor decks and
the curtain walls. The agent used
had to absorb temperature- and
wind-generated façade distortions as
well as provide protection against flames, smoke, gas and noise.
Hilti CP 672 firestop joint spray was
largely used to reliably close all joints
between the deck and the curtain
walls and for wall-to-floor and walltofloor joints. The quick and simple
application saves significant time
during construction.
For the small gaps in the tallest building in the
world: Hilti CP 672 firestop joint spray.

The test professionals
The Hilti research and development
laboratories can perform all standard
industry tests as well as special tests
such as:
• Static load, fatigue, shock, elevated
temperature, fire resistance and
seismic tests
• Testing of a vast range of Hilti
firestop products
• Assessments of environmental
protection
requirements in our corrosion
laboratories
• Test programs set up for specific
applications and bespoke solutions
Green Building
It’s only natural that Hilti would want to
keep the effects of our products and
services on the environment as limited
as possible. Energy efficiency stretches
from the planning phase through
construction and includes decadeslong
usage of the object. This is why a
rapidly growing number of Hilti products
and services meet the requirements for
certain worldwide green building criteria,
such as BREEAM, HQE, DGNB and
LEED.
At the heart of proficiency.
Testing, learning, knowledge.
Where advances are made.
Hilti operates its own research, development and testing centers in Europe, the
USA and China. Certifications and findings of both current and future-oriented technologies therefore come from our internal test labs that have been accredited by
independent institutions. The labs are utilized by numerous international specialists
and universities. Results stemming from this unique combination of know-how and
experience flow into thoroughly new design methods, applications and products.

Good to know.
Fire and smoke rank high among the
potential hazards for human lives.
One important component for the
safety of a building and its occupants has traditionally been one of
the biggest weaknesses: professional compartmental fire stopping. Building owners, architects, planners,
contractors and developers are
nonetheless legally obligated to seal
fire-rated walls and decks. Hilti provides firestop products that are approved for usage worldwide and have
been extensively tested for fire resistance duration, smoke tightness
and temperature excess. To meet
additional modern building construction requirements Hilti also conducts
acoustic measurements, seismic
tests and chemical resistance tests
on its firestop products.
