Significance and Use4.1 These test methods are intended to provide data fromwhich applicable performance and design data can be
21、 deter-mined for a given anchorage device used in a member ofconcrete, solid, hollow, or grout-filled masonry, and relatedmaterials and for qualifying anchors or anchorage systems.Tests performed in the confined condition shall not be used todevelop design values.

23、e ofmeasuring the forces to an accuracy within 62 % of thecalibrated capacity, when calibrated in accordance with Prac-tices E4. For tests which require displacement measurements,use either manually read dial gauges or electronic displacementmeasuring devices with accuracy of 60.001 in. 0.025 mm.The
24、 instrument(s) shall be positioned to measure movement ofthe anchor in the direction of the applied load in such a waythat the instrument is not influenced during the test bymovement or failure of the anchor or member. If load andcorresponding displacement measurements are required, thenumber of dat
25、a points recorded shall be selected based on theexpected ultimate capacity of the anchor and shall be sufficientto accurately show the load-displacement behavior. The testfixture(s) shall be of sufficient capacity to prevent yielding ofits various components and shall ensure that the applied tension
26、loads remain parallel to and centered on the anchors and thatthe applied shear loads remain parallel to the surface of themember during testing.5.1.1 Tension TestAn example of a typical system forapplying tension pull-out forces to a single anchor is shown inFig. 1A, Fig. 1B, and Fig. 1C. The test s
27、ystem support(s) shallbe of sufficient size to prevent local crushing or failure of thesurrounding member. Tests may be performed as confined orunconfined (see 6.3 and definitions) as specified. The loadingrod shall be of sufficient size and strength to develop theultimate strength of the anchor at
28、a stress level less than itsyield strength.Aloading shoe may be used as shown in Fig. 1Aor the loading rod may be directly coupled to the anchor asshown in Fig. 1B. If a loading shoe is used, it should be ofsufficient thickness to prevent yielding during loading. Thethickness should be at least equa
29、l to the nominal size of theanchor. Appropriate linkages or fixtures, such as ball andsocket spherical device, shall be included in the load path tominimize the direct transfer of bending stress to the anchor dueto misalignment of the loading system.
