  • Page 12: Why A Power Fastener Holds

    Why A Power Fastener Holds WHY A POWER FASTENER HOLDS IN CONCRETE The compression bond of the concrete to the power fastener accounts for the majority of the holding power. The fastener displaces the concrete which tries to return to its original form causing a squeezing effect. Maximum holding power is achieved when the depth of 482-64 penetration produces a bond on the power fastener equal...

  • Page 13: Selecting Fasteners And Power Loads

    Selecting Power Fasteners and Power loads FASTENING INTO CONCRETE The proper power fastener length can be determined by adding the thickness of the material to be fastened and the amount of fastener that will actually penetrate the con- crete. The concrete must be three times as thick as the intended fastener penetration.
