Assessment of cast-in Peikko HPM^® L Anchor Bolts under fatigue tension and shear loading

Anchors and cast-in fasteners, such as anchor channels and headed studs, are widely used in construction to transfer forces into concrete components. In typical reinforced concrete structures, these fastenings are primarily subjected to static or quasi-static loads.

However, as building structures become more slender and machinery and plant systems more advanced, applications requiring consideration of cyclical st...
