... A-1 A P P E N D I X A Draft AASHTO Test Method -- Standard Method of Test for Evaluation of Adhesive Anchors in Concrete Under Sustained Loading Conditions
From page 71...
... A-3 OTHSAA1-XXXXT Standard Method of Test for Evaluation of Adhesive Anchors in Concrete Under Sustained Loading Conditions AASHTO Designation: T XXXX-XX ASTM Designation: XXXX-XX INTRODUCTION Adhesive anchor systems have widespread use in transportation structures such as bridge widening, concrete repair and rehabilitation, barrier retrofitting, utility installation on existing structures, and tunneling. These systems are used to anchor threaded rod and reinforcing bars in concrete.

From page 75...
... A-7 OTHSAA5-XXXXT 5.2.2 The test apparatus must be of sufficient capacity so as to not yield during testing. 5.2.3 Coupler: A coupler shall be used between the anchor and the test loading rod providing a non-rigid connection which does not transfer bending forces.
From page 76...
... A-8 OTHSAA6-XXXXT 6.3.9 Test concrete compressive strength in accordance with ASTM C 39 for concrete cylinders or ASTM C 42 for concrete cores. Concrete strength at any point can be determined from a concrete strength-age relationship curve constructed from a sufficient number of compression tests conducted at regular intervals.

... A-9 OTHSAA7-XXXXT 8 SPECIMEN CONDITIONING 8.1 Begin conditioning of the test slabs to their final environmental condition upon completion of the manufacturer's specified curing time, and within 7 ±5 days. 8.2 Do not begin tests until the temperature and humidity of the test specimens have stabilized for at least 24 hours.

... A-10 OTHSAA8-XXXXT 9.3.3.6 The amount of pre-tensioning to the apparatus during test setup shall be uniform for all samples. 9.3.4 Loading: 9.3.4.1 Initial Load – Apply an initial load not exceeding 5% of the estimated ultimate load capacity of the anchor system in order to bring all members of the test apparatus into bearing.
From page 79...
... A-11 OTHSAA9-XXXXT 9.4.4.1 Ensure that the test apparatus and instrumentation complies with the requirements of section 5 of this test method. 9.4.4.2 Ensure that the test apparatus is centered over the anchor and that the force applied is acting through the center of the anchor and perpendicular to the structural member.
