RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH OF BEARING CAPACITY OF PLASTIC SLEEVE ANCHORS IN THIN AERATED CONCRETE MASONRY UNDER AXIAL LOAD
This article is devoted to a problem of anchoring strength of anchors (wall plugs) in thin aerated concrete blockwork. The question of bearing capacity of anchor fastenings in aerated concrete walls is slightly unveiled in modern design codes. As it is said in DSTU B V.2.6-195:2013 minimal design value of bearing capacity of plastic anchors used for fastening of insulating materials should not be less then 0,25 kN. In our research we used KPR-12x100N nylon plug with Ø8 woodscrew with an O-shape hook. For experiments we prepared 2 masonry fragments with up to 15 anchors’ positions in each.
