Channel and Bolt Fixings

CAST-IN CHANNELS Cast-in Channels range from simple selfanchoring slots for accepting restraint fixings to large capacity channels with integral anchors (pages 6-8). They provide the necessary adjustment required when fixing to concrete and can eliminate site drilling. Nail holes aid the fixing of channels to timber formwork and an infill prevents the ingress of concrete during casting. Cast-in fixings do not generate expansive forces in the concrete and can be used at close centres and closer to the edges than expansion fixings. Omega
Patent No: 2249110

AnconLock AnconLock has teeth cut into the returned lips of the channel. The T head bolts used to fix to this channel have a matching serrated surface on the underside of the head which provides a high resistance to slip under shear load along the line of the channel.

The Omega 21/18 Channel is a self-anchoring channel for use with Ancon wall ties referenced _ _21. The shallow depth of 18mm allows the channel to be used where there is reduced cover to the reinforcement. Nail holes aid the fixing of the channel to timber formwork. If steel formwork is to be used, or the formwork is to be surface-vibrated, please seek advice from Ancons Technical Services Team. 30/20
Patent No: EP0882164B

CombiDeck
Patent No: 2256211

Ancon 30/20 is a high performance channel. Its unique shape allows the applied load to be fed directly from the channel lips to the anchors and the more compact section size improves its fit between reinforcement. Specially designed T-head bolts ride up the sloping sides of the channel and securely lock behind the front lips. This channel also accepts standard 20mm wide wall ties. 30/20 is filled with continuously extruded closed-cell PE-LD foam. This material is removed easily in long sections and is 100% recyclable. Ancon 30/20 should be used in preference to 38/17 channel. 30/20 is a high performance channel and its lower material content offers considerable cost benefits.

Ancon CombiDeck has been developed for use with the permanent metal deck shuttering of steel frame structures. CombiDeck edge support is supplied with an integral channel section, usually 30/20 channel, built into the side to accept Ancon T head bolts. More information on this product can be found in the Ancon Masonry Support Systems literature.

SURFACE-FIXED CHANNELS Plain-backed channels can be surface-fixed to steel, concrete and in some instances, masonry (page 9). 25/14 Ancon 25/14 accepts Ancon _ _ 25 wall ties and has been designed to tie masonry cladding to steel frames, including light section steel studwork. It is fixed to the steel at 450mm vertical centres with self-drilling screws (page 17). The channel is supplied with pre-punched holes at close centres to allow cutting on site and has a 16mm opening to accommodate a drive socket for the fixing screws. More information on this system, including wall tie spacing, is available in the Ancon Wall Ties and Restraint Fixings brochure. BOLT FIXINGS Expansion Bolts The range consists of Single Expansion Bolts and High Performance Bolts. The latter have double expansion clips that reduce axial and edge spacings and will achieve high performance even in cracked concrete (pages 12-13). Bonded Anchors These fixings create a strong chemical bond between the anchor and the host material. Resin is supplied in either ready-mixed capsules or mixed on application from a cartridge (pages 14-15). Fixings for Steelwork The Ancon Steelgrip simplifies the fixing of support systems to hollow steel sections where access is only available from one side (page 16). Stainless steel set screws and selfdrilling screws are also available (page 17). Cast-in Sockets Sockets enable fixing to concrete where adjustment is either unnecessary or can be provided elsewhere (page 18). Plug and screw fixings, and anchors for fixing to hollow core concrete slabs, complete the range (page 18).

Fixing to Channels Fixing to channels is by T head bolts. These are inserted into the channel and turned through 90. The bolt must then be tightened to the correct torque. Tapped plate washers can be used as an alternative to T bolts where non-standard bolt lengths or diameters are required. Restraint Fixings Ancon wall ties can be used with 25/14, 28/15, 30/20, 38/17 and 36/8 channels in order to provide the necessary restraint to an outer leaf of masonry.

CAST-IN CHANNELS Allowable Channel Loads The allowable loads are based on channels with standard anchors (page 8), cast into concrete with a strength of 30N/mm2. The allowable loads will ensure a minimum factor of safety of 3 against failure.

Longitudinal loads are achieved by friction using fully-tightened stainless steel or grade 4.6 bolts. Higher longitudinal loads can be achieved by using higher strength bolts at an increased torque. AnconLock toothed channel should be used for most applications involving longitudinal loads. Allowable Loads at Standard Edge Distances

Correct Installation Showing Channel Butted Together

INSTALLATION GUIDANCE CAST-IN CHANNELS Fixing to Timber Formwork Ancon Cast-in Channels are normally supplied in 3000mm lengths with welded anchors, nail holes, and infill. Incorrect installation is likely to result in expensive remedial work. All nail holes need to be utilised (except with Omega Channel), to prevent excessive ingress of concrete fines between the formwork and the channel during casting. Both nail holes should be utilised when fixing 21/18 Omega Channel 100mm long to timber formwork. Longer lengths of this channel should be nailed at each end and then fixed at 300mm centres. Nails with a plain shank should be installed perpendicular to the channel to ensure the easy removal of the formwork and the retention of the channel in the concrete. Welded Fabrications Where channels with welded anchors are cut on site, it is important to ensure that there is a whole anchor within 50mm from the end of the channel. Where horizontal cast-in channel is used in conjunction with brickwork support systems, all external corners must incorporate a Welded Corner Fabrication. Release oil must not be applied to either the channel or the anchor. Minimum Edge Distance Care should be taken to ensure that the dimensions from the centre of the channel to the edges of the concrete are not less than the minimum edge distance shown on page 7. The channel must be lined and levelled correctly. In every situation, care must be taken to ensure a good fit is obtained between the face of the channel and the formwork. SURFACE-FIXED CHANNELS Channels are supplied plain-backed for surface fixing to either concrete or steelwork. When bolting channel to concrete or steelwork it is important to utilise all fixing holes (except with 25/14 channels), incorporating the square washer provided and ensuring its correct orientation to achieve the allowable loads. Bolt and washer specifications are shown and bolts should be installed following the guides on page 12 and 13. 25/14 Channel should be fixed to steelwork at 450mm vertical centres with self-drilling screws.

Fixing to Steel Formwork Channels can be secured to steel formwork by using standard T head bolts in pre-drilled holes. Where metal deck floors are being used, Ancon CombiDeck has a built-in channel and will replace the standard edge trim.
10

Removal of Formwork When the concrete is poured, care should be taken to ensure that it is fully compacted around the back of the channel and especially adjacent to anchors. After the concrete has cured and the formwork is removed, the nails should either be cut off or bent away from any tie or T head bolt.

EXPANSION BOLTS AND BONDED ANCHORS Design Considerations There are several factors which will affect the performance of these fixings. The following areas should be considered to ensure that the expected performance is achieved. Embedment The minimum embedment of anchors which are used to support stone cladding should be at least 75mm. To achieve this, the maximum fixing thickness will reduce with some of the smaller diameter bolts. Edge Distances and Spacings Anchors fixed into concrete must be positioned to ensure that the specified minimum edge distances and spacings are not exceeded. Where reduced edge distances and spacings are unavoidable, the appropriate reduction factors must be applied. For instances where multiple close edges and spacings occur, the reduction factor is applied for every case. Fixing Thickness and Shims The maximum fixing thickness for bolts shown is the maximum thickness which can be accommodated without reducing embedment. This maximum thickness cannot be achieved in every situation. Fixings which are subject to shear, or a combination of shear and tension, may have restrictions on the maximum thickness of shims. In particular, where shims are incorporated behind masonry support angles, their thickness should be restricted to 16mm, or the outside diameter of the fixing, whichever is less. Combined Loads The recommended maximum loads in the tables on pages 12 to 18 are static loads in either tension or shear. In many applications however, the anchor will be subject to a combination of shear and tension. The combined loads must satisfy the following equation:Applied Tensile Load Safe Tensile Load + Applied Shear Load Safe Shear Load < 1.2 _

Outside diameter of fixing (16mm maximum)

Maximum Shimming Thickness

Fixings into Concrete The recommended static safe working loads in this brochure are based on concrete with a compressive strength of 30N/mm2. A different value may be appropriate if fixings are used in concrete with a different strength. The tensile load can be calculated using the following empirical formula if the compressive strength is in the range of 20 - 50 N/mm2 and expansion or chemical / resin bolts are used.

These factors only apply to static tensile loads and are intended for guidance only. Site testing may be required to establish the true capacity of particular anchors.

Note: The published working loads are based on tests using unreinforced concrete with a strength of 30N/mm2, incorporating a dense gravel aggregate. However crushing strength is no guide to concrete strength in either shear or tension, and concrete with a similar compressive strength but with a different aggregate may not achieve the same performance. Providing suitable reinforcement is incorporated around the sockets, the published values will provide a sufficient factor of safety for concrete with different characteristics.

APPLICATIONS

OTHER ANCON PRODUCTS Wall Ties and Restraint Fixings Ancon manufactures ties in a variety of lengths and types for restraining brickwork, blockwork and stonework. These ties can be fixed to concrete and structural steelwork, as well as any type of masonry. Masonry Support Systems Masonry cladding on concrete or steel framed buildings is normally supported by stainless steel masonry support systems. Ancon has developed the most comprehensive range of stainless steel support systems and restraints. Products include AnconOptima, a standard system available from stock. A full design and drawing service accompanies our bespoke support systems. Tension Systems The use of tie bars in structures and buildings as an architectural as well as a structural element is increasing. Ancon Tension Systems comprise a range of components which can be supplied in carbon steel or stainless steel in a variety of sizes and finishes. The system looks particularly impressive when used with large areas of glazing or timber trusses. Shear Load Connectors Ancon DSD and ESD Shear Load Connectors are used to transfer shear across expansion and contraction joints in concrete. They are more effective than standard dowels at transferring load and allowing movement to take place, and can be used to eliminate double columns at structural movement joints in buildings. Reinforcing Bar Couplers The use of reinforcing bar couplers can provide significant advantages over lapped joints. Design and construction of the concrete can be simplified and the amount of reinforcement required can be reduced. The Ancon range includes threaded and mechanically bolted couplers. Punching Shear Reinforcement Used within a slab to provide additional reinforcement around columns, Ancon Shearfix is the ideal solution to the design and construction problems associated with punching shear. The system consists of double-headed studs welded to flat rails, positioned in a symmetrical pattern around the column head. The shear load from the slab is transferred through the studs into the column.
