Anchorage in Concrete Construction - Hardcover

by Rolf Eligehausen (Author), Rainer Mallée (Author), John F. Silva (Author)

A comprehensive treatment of current fastening technology using inserts (anchor channels, headed stud), anchors (metal expansion anchor, undercut anchor, bonded anchor, concrete screw and plastic anchor) as well as power actuated fasteners in concrete. It describes in detail the fastening elements as well as their effects and load-bearing capacities in cracked and non-cracked concrete. It further focuses on corrosion behaviour, fire resistance and characteristics with earthquakes and shocks. It finishes off with the design of fastenings according to the European Technical Approval Guideline (ETAG 001), the Final Draft of the CEN Technical Specification 'Design of fastenings for use in concrete' and the American Standards ACI 318-05, Appendix D and ACI 349-01, Appendix B.

Within the international field of construction, both German companies and experts play an important role in fastening technology. The authors represent both groups, first two have already published a successful German edition. This English-language edition has been revised and third author has joined the team.

Author Biography

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rolf Eligehausen studierte Bauingenieurwesen an der Technischen Universität Braunschweig und promovierte an der Universität Stuttgart. Nach einem 2jährigen Forschungsaufenthalt an der University of California Berkeley wurde er 1984 Professor für Befestigungstechnik am Otto-Graf-Institut, Universität Stuttgart. Er ist Mitglied zahlreicher nationaler und internationaler Sachverständigenausschüsse auf den Gebieten des Stahlbetonbaus und der Befestigungstechnik und Verfasser zahlreicher Aufsätze aus diesen Fachgebieten.
Dr.-Ing. Rainer Mallée studierte Bauingenieurwesen an der TU Braunschweig und promovierte 1980 an der Universität Stuttgart. Von 1980 bis 1987 leitete er das Ingenieurbüro Prof. Rehm in München. Von 1988 bis 1995 war er Entwicklungsleiter Befestigungselemente bei den fischerwerken in Waldachtal und leitet seit 1996 die Forschung der Unternehmensgruppe fischer.
MSc. SE John F. Silva studierte Bauingenieurwesen an der University of California, Berkeley und ist außerdem Structural Engineer. Seine speziellen Kenntnisse über das Verhalten von Verankerungen bei Erdbebenbeanspruchung erlangte er während seiner 10jährigen Tätigkeit in zwei der renommiertesten Ingenieurunternehmen von San Francisco. Weitere vier Jahre arbeitete er im Forschungszentrum von HILTI und ist seitdem bei HILTI San Francisco beschäftigt.
