Pullout StrengthThis study investigated the influence of basic oxygen furnace slag (BOFS) as partial coarse aggregate in the pullout strength of anchor bolts installed in concrete. To design the different concrete samples, natural coarse aggregates were replaced by mass with 19-mm size BOFS from...
(see alsoFigure 1): Mechanical interlock, friction, and bond. Post-installed systems, such as undercut anchors and concrete screws, can be used to achieve an interlocking mechanism, which relies solely on compression contact between the anchor and concrete. Cast-in systems include shear connectors...
