Is the combination of anchor and base material missing from the technical documentation you're using? Or are you looking to proof load fasteners as part of installation quality documentation? Let the Hilti anchor site testing service help you determine missing resistance values or provide the basis for your assessment of installation quality.
Our anchor testing equipment transfers readings, including load versus displacement graphs, directly to the software we use to create test reports, helping reduce human error.
We have developed a rigorous, methodical approach to anchor testing, carried out by a highly-trained team of engineers. This helps to avoid common testing pitfalls.
Just as we offer fasteners for virtually all applications, we offer anchor testing for both everyday construction and highly specialized engineering works.
Our technical scope covers local codes and building regulations around the globe. Contact your field engineer or account manager to find out more.
Who the service is for: Engineers/designers
When it's needed: You have insufficient data to determine anchor resistance for safe, efficient and cost-effective design approval (e.g. documents or technical manuals don’t cover the base material). This is most likely in reinforcement or restoration projects.
Why use the service: Foundation for efficient design with test data. More confidence in structural integrity of the specified solution.
Deliverables: Test report with load and displacement values, an optional evaluation report with calculated anchor resistance.
The resistance determination testing report includes:
Test information and test results
Displacement measurement enables plausibility checks based on the load versus displacement relationship. It helps to ensure a more reliable assessment of tests regarding consistency and predictability of anchor behavior.
The optional evaluation report includes calculated design resistance based on:
There are two types of test – destructive and non-destructive.
Destructive tests
If the following criteria apply, destructive tests are the right choice:
Destructive tests are tensile and/or shear tests up to the ultimate load of the anchor.
The minimum number of test trials is based on the chosen testing and evaluation method. Usually between 5 and 15 test trials are needed for a proper evaluation.
Statistical or simplified evaluation according to the chosen evaluation method.
Non-destructive tests
If the following criteria apply, non-destructive tests are the right choice:
Non-destructive tests are tensile and/or shear proof tests to a predefined test load.
The minimum number of test trials is based on the chosen testing and evaluation method. Usually between 5 and 15 test trials are needed for a proper evaluation.
Calculated test load and simplified evaluation according to the chosen evaluation method.
Who the service is for: Project managers and quality managers
When it's needed: You need proof loading documentation of tensile tests on post-installed anchors/rebar. This as part of the validation of installation quality for quality managers, project owners or external inspectors.
Why use the service: State-of-the-art proof load test documentation. More confidence in structural safety of the installed solution – without holding up progress on site.
Deliverables: Test report designed to be presented to inspectors, clients and specifiers, and optional evaluation report with documented test load calculation.
The test report includes:
Displacement measurement enables plausibility checks based on the load versus displacement relationship. It helps to ensure a more reliable assessment of tests regarding consistency and predictability of anchor behavior.
The optional evaluation report includes documentation of test load calculation based on:
Tests to validate installation quality are tensile proof tests to a predefined test load that is not supposed to damage the fastening and the base material.
The minimum number of test trials is based on the chosen testing and evaluation method:
Calculated test load and acceptance criteria according to the chosen testing and evaluation method.
