scope:

This Practice provides guidelines for design engineers involved in design, fabrication, installation, and repair of anchorage for foundations and structures. This Practice supplements the ASCE Anchorage Design for Petrochemical and Other Industrial Facilities, hereafter referred to as the ASCE Anchorage Design Report. The information on fabrication, installation, and repair of anchorages provided in this Practice is to be used by design engineers to develop specifications, drawings, scopes of work, etc. for fabricators, constructors, and maintenance personnel involved in fabrication, installation, and repair activities.

This Practice describes the design of anchorage based on the requirements in ACI 318-19 (IN-LB) / ACI 318-19 (SI) including material selection, cast-in-place anchor design, post-installed anchor design, anchor installation and repair.

Comment: The information provided in the ASCE Anchorage Design Report is recommended for the design, fabrication, installation and repair of anchorage for foundations and structures. The ASCE Anchorage Design Report is in accordance with ACI 318-19 (IN-LB) / ACI 318-19 (SI). Tables that were previously in the earlier versions of this Practice have now been incorporated in the newest version of the ASCE Anchorage Design Report.

Comment: It should be noted that starting in 2019, ACI is no longer using an "M" designation for the metric version of ACI 318. The 2019 version of the ACI 318 codes are now designated as ACI 318-19 (IN-LB) and ACI 318-19 (SI). The ASCE Anchorage Design Report designates these codes as ACI 318-19 and ACI 318M-19 which should be understood to be properly designated as ACI 318-19 (IN-LB) and ACI 318-19 (SI) respectively.

Comment: Previous versions of this Practice which reference previous versions of ACI 318 / ACI 318M are available for Member Companies from the PIP office.

Comment: This Practice shows how to use the PIP developed excel spreadsheets listed in Section 5.2. and 5.3 and the MathCAD template shown in Section 5.4 of this Practice. Also, it is planned to use this Practice as a vehicle to provide interim updates to the ASCE Anchorage Design Report when ACI 318-19 (IN-LB) / ACI 318-19 (SI) or other references are updated as the ASCE Anchorage Design Report is only updated approximately every ten years.
