1. Post-installed simply works better than
cast-in.
by Jakob Kunz
Post-installed reinforcement works at least as well as cast-in rebars. This has been
proven by the comprehensive testing required for European Technical Approvals
for post-installed reinforcement connections. Consequently, the design process is
straightforward and in accordance with structural concrete codes (ACI 318 & Eurocode
2) for post-installed overlap splices, reinforcement anchorage at simple supports and
connections of columns mainly loaded in compression.
Only straight bars can be post-installed in cured concrete, but cast-in reinforcement
often uses hooks to reduce anchorage length or bends to divert forces. Hilti has thus
invested in extensive research to find solutions that allow post-installed reinforcement
to be used in situations where standard structural concrete detailing would require
hooks or bends. A revolutionary new design method has now been developed on the
basis of this research.
Hilti HIT Rebar Design Method
According to structural concrete building codes, the bond strength of cast-in bars is
limited, even where depth of concrete cover is considerable. Accordingly, in some
zones such as in walls where anchorage depth is often limited, welded transverse
reinforcement or hooks are used to compensate for the reduction in available anchorage
depth. The Hilti Rebar Design Method also makes it possible to reduce anchorage
length while maintaining the high bond strength needed to replace hooks or welded
transverse reinforcement.
Better results through more detailed research
Research has shown that the bond strength of bars anchored with Hilti adhesive
mortars is higher than that of cast-in-place bars, provided there is adequate concrete
cover1. The Hilti HIT Rebar Design Method takes advantage of this increased bond
strength in order to achieve anchorage length reductions of up to 50% compared to
the figures given in building codes.
Frame node connections with straight bars
According to standard reinforcement design concepts, bends are required at moment-
resisting connections. Working together with the Technical University of Munich and
the American University of Beirut, Hilti has carried out theoretical and laboratory
research in order to propose an adequate strut-and-tie model that takes the specific
characteristics of frame node connections with straight bars2 into account.
Connection of members under tension
Where a connection is made between concrete members under predominant tension,
the principles of anchor design should be applied3. As a specialist in anchoring to
concrete, Hilti is well qualified to provide the appropriate solutions. Factors such as the
possibility of concrete cone breakout must be given special consideration.
Post-installed reinforcement for shear loads
Thanks to many years of research, Hilti is also in an excellent position to provide
solutions for post-installed shear interface reinforcement4 for concrete overlays or
post-installed punching shear reinforcement5.

Bond strength depends on concrete cover. Where cover is limited, splitting is the controlling
factor and the red and grey lines therefore show more or less linear functions. Where cover
is sufficient, pull-out begins to become the controlling factor. With Hilti adhesives, the cover
limit is usually higher than that specified for cast-in in concrete building codes (fbd=bond
strength, c=cover, Ø=bar diameter).

2. Basic considerations for fire design
of post-installed reinforcement
Codes
specify minimum concrete cover for protection of the reinforcement against high
temperature depending on the required fire rating.
Since, in case of fire, the behaviour of the bonding material for post-installed bars is
somewhat different to cast-in reinforcement some back ground information is necessary
to provide equivalent behaviour of the post installed system.
Behaviour of steel in high temperatures
Steel changes material properties when its temperature is increased. This is especially
the case for yield strength as shown by fig.1.
Note: at 560°C steel yield is approx. half of yield strength at room temperature.
Safety approach for fire design
The safety approach for fire design is semi- empirical because it is impossible to
determine a fire statistically. Therefore a standard fire temperature/time curve ISO 834
(fig. 2) has been agreed on for normal cases. In some cases, especially in road tunnels
more stringent temperature/time curves are applied.
Note: Safety concept is based on experience, many simplifications on the safe
side have been accepted for design.
Scope
The sensitivity for high temperatures of the adhesives used for bonded-in bars is
higher than the bond of cast-in bars. A design concept is provided for the design of fire
resistance for bonded-in bars with equivalent safety compared to cast-in bars.
Tests and design concept
Tests to evaluate the relationship between temperature and bond of the adhesives have
been performed. Taking into account the temperature gradients in the concrete for the
various fire ratings a design concept was derived. Testing, high temperature – bond
relation and the design tables are shown in the corresponding reports.
Be aware that steel yield under fire is reduced considerably, and safety factors for fire
design are reduced accordingly as specified in the code.
Note that the fire design tables must not be used for cold design (accepted bond
stress under fire may be above the values acceptable for safe cold design).
a.) The maximum load for each individual fire design is performed by the engineer.
The designer determines his individual load depending on the load situation and
individual safety factor combination used.
With this load value he can determine the anchorage length by means of the Hilti fire
design tables.
b) It does not mean that the adhesives withstands the same temperatures as the steel
does, but the tables specify cover and anchorage length that are necessary to withstand
for the same duration the same force as is expected from the steel.
c) It is evident that for simplification the maximum load can be used on the safe side to
determine anchorage length, but maybe steel holds not the same force under fire in the
new building member e.g. with less cover.
Therefore if shorter embedment is requested it is worth to calculate the correct design
load for fire.
That is especially true if higher safety factors or global safety factors for cold design are
used (than there is more reserve in the steel).

Flush 2 times the hole by inserting a water hose (water-line pressure) to the back
of the hole until water runs clear.
Brush 2 times with the specified brush size (brush Ø ≥ bore hole Ø, see Table 7)
by inserting the steel brush Hilti HIT-RB to the back of the hole (if needed with
extension) in a twisting motion and removing it.
The brush must produce natural resistance as it enters the bore hole -- if not the
brush is too small and must be replaced with the proper brush diameter.
Flush again 2 times the hole by inserting a water hose (water-line pressure) to
the back of the hole until water runs clear.
Insert foil pack in foil pack holder. Never use damaged foil packs and/or
damaged or unclean foil pack holders. Attach new mixer prior to dispensing a
new foil pack (snug fit).
Tightly attach Hilti HIT-RE-M mixer to foil pack manifold. Do not modify the mixer
in any way.
Make sure the mixing element is in the mixer. Use only the mixer supplied with
the adhesive
Insert foil pack holder with foil pack into HIT-dispenser. Push release trigger,
retract plunger and insert foil pack holder into the appropriate Hilti dispenser.
Discard initial adhesive. The foil pack opens automatically as dispensing is initiated.
Depending on the size of the foil pack an initial amount of adhesive has to be discarded.
Discard quantities are 3 strokes for 330 ml foil pack,
4 strokes for 500 ml foil pack and
65 ml for 1400 ml foil pack.

Inject adhesive
from the back of the borehole without forming air voids
Inject the adhesive starting at the back of the hole, slowly withdrawing the mixer
with each trigger pull.
Fill holes approximately 2/3 full, or as required to ensure that the annular gap
between the anchor and the concrete is completely filled with adhesive along the
embedment length.
After injection is completed, depressurize the dispenser by pressing the release
trigger. This will prevent further adhesive discharge from the mixer.
Overhead installation and installation with embedment depth hef > 250mm
For overhead installation or under water application the injection is only possible
with the aid of extensions and piston plugs. Assemble HIT-RE-M mixer,
extension(s) and appropriately sized piston plug (see Table 7).
Insert piston plug to back of the hole and inject adhesive. During injection the
piston plug will be naturally extruded out of the bore hole by the adhesive pressure.
Under water application fill bore hole completely with mortar.

Bore hole drilling
Drill hole to the required embedment depth with an appropriately sized Hilti
TE-CD or TE-YD hollow drill bit with Hilti vacuum attachment. This drilling
method properly cleans the borehole and removes dust while drilling.
After drilling is complete, proceed to the “injection preparation” step in the
instructions for use.
The Hilti manual pump may be used for blowing out bore holes up to
diameters do ef .
Blow out at least 4 times from the back of the bore hole until return air
stream is free of noticeable dust
Brush 4 times with the specified brush size by inserting the steel brush Hilti
HIT-RB to the back of the hole (if needed with extension) in a twisting
motion and removing it.
The brush must produce natural resistance as it enters the bore hole -- if
not the brush is too small and must be replaced with the proper brush
diameter.
Blow out again with manual pump at least 4 times until return air stream is
free of noticeable dust.
Bore hole cleaning
Just before setting an anchor, the bore hole must be free of dust and debris.
Drill Hole to the required embedment depth with a hammer drill set in
rotation-hammer mode using an appropriately sized carbide drill bit.

Hilti HIT-HY 200Hilti HIT Injection System
for Rebar Applications
Compressed air cleaning (CAC)
for all bore hole diameters d0 and all bore hole depth h0
Injection preparation
Inject adhesive from the back of the borehole without forming air voids
Drill hole to the required embedment depth with an appropriately sized Hilti
Blow 2 times from the back of the hole (if needed with nozzle extension)
over the hole length with oil-free compressed air (min. 6 bar at 6 m³/h) until
the compressor must supply a minimum air flow of 140 m³/hour.
Brush 2 times with the specified brush size by inserting the steel brush Hilti
HIT-RB to the back of the hole (if needed with extension) in a twisting
motion and removing it.
The brush must produce natural resistance as it enters the bore hole -- if
not the brush is too small and must be replaced with the proper brush
diameter.
Blow again with compressed air 2 times until return air stream is free of
noticeable dust.
Tightly attach new Hilti mixing nozzle HIT-RE-M to foil pack manifold (snug
fit). Do not modify the mixing nozzle. Observe the instruction for use of the
dispenser. Check foil pack holder for proper function. Do not use damaged
foil packs / holders. Swing foil pack holder with foil pack into HIT -
dispenser.
Discard initial adhesive. The foil pack opens automatically as dispensing is
initiated. Depending on the size of the foil pack an initial amount of
adhesive has to be discarded.
Discard quantities are
Inject the adhesive starting at the back of the hole, slowly withdrawing the
to ensure that the annular gap between the anchor and the concrete is
completely filled with adhesive along the embedment length.
Overhead installation and installation with embedment depth hef > 250mm.
For overhead installation the injection is only possible with the aid of
extensions and piston plugs. Assemble HIT-RE-M mixer, extension(s) and
appropriately sized piston plug. Insert piston plug to back of the hole and
inject adhesive. During injection the piston plug will be naturally extruded
out of the bore hole by the adhesive pressure.
After injection is completed, depressurize the dispenser by pressing the
release trigger. This will prevent further adhesive discharge from the mixer.

10. Frequently asked questions
a.) Why is it important not only to specify mortar but the overall application?
Post-installed rebar connections typically have signi cant embedment lengths. The
equipment used must therefore allow drilling to be carried out accurately, avoiding crossing
with neighboring holes. If dust remains on the walls of the holes drilled, bond strength as
speci ed cannot be achieved. The holes must therefore be properly cleaned along their
entire length using a steel brush tted to an electric drill.
Injection without creation of air pockets and bubbles is possible only when it’s done from the
bottom of the hole and when mixer extensions and “piston” plugs are used. Air bubbles may
cause pressure to build up when the rebar is inserted into the adhesive. This pressure can
become so high that the adhesive is squirted out of the hole towards the worker, causing a
hazard. Air can also inhibit proper curing of the adhesive and, last but not least, the presence
of air impedes bonding, reducing the effective bonding length.
b) What does a European Technical Rebar Approval attest to an adhesive?
The product has passed a number of acceptance tests proving that the behavior of post-
installed rebar connections is at least comparable to that of cast-in-place rebar connections
(comparable load transfer with a comparable load-displacement behavior) under various
conditions.
c.) Which conditions are assessed for a European Technical Rebar Approval? Bond
strength in different grades of concrete, substandard hole cleaning, wet concrete, sustained
load and temperature in uence, freeze-thaw conditions, different installation directions,
maximum embedment depth, avoidance of air bubbles during injection, durability (corrosion,
chemical attack).
d.) The acceptance tests don’t include re or fatigue loads. Can loads of this kind be
taken up by post-installed reinforcement?
It’s true that the adhesive forms a layer between the concrete and rebar, which may
result in cast-in-place and post-installed rebar connections having signi cantly different
characteristics under such conditions. Hilti has performed speci c research on these loading
conditions and can provide corresponding design recommendations.
e.) What’s the main difference between cast-in-place and post-installed reinforcement?
While detailing of cast-in-place reinforcement often requires bends or hooks or welded-on
transverse reinforcement, post-installed reinforcement is limited to straight bar ends because
only straight holes can be drilled.
f.) What’s the advantage of the Hilti HIT Rebar Design Method for post-installed
anchorage where depth is limited, e.g. when connecting a slab to a wall?
With cast-in reinforcement, anchorage length can be reduced by using hooks or welded
transverse reinforcement, which is not possible with post-installed reinforcement. Hilti
adhesives, however, usually provide higher bond strength than that speci ed in building
codes for cast-in-place reinforcement. Since such applications have a large concrete cover,
the designer can take advantage of the high bond strength of the adhesive by reducing the
anchorage length signi cantly.
g.) How can moment-resisting connections be designed for post-installed
reinforcement?
Such connections normally require bends in the connecting reinforcement. The Hilti HIT
Rebar Design Method includes a strut-and-tie model for the design of moment-resisting
connections with post-installed straight bars anchored using Hilti adhesives. Laboratory
tests have proven this model to be correct and it has been assessed by independent experts.
30

Hilti HIT Injection System

h.) How can concrete members under tension be connected using post-installed
rebars?
Reinforcement in such members is usually hooked back by bending it around the
perpendicular reinforcement in the base member which, again, isn’t possible with post-
installed reinforcement. As a highly experienced specialist in the eld of anchoring to
concrete, Hilti is well quali ed to provide recommendations on how these principles should
be used to connect such members. It should be noted that due to the possibility of concrete
cone breakout failure, the design of connections of this kind must take brittle failure mode
into account as it is done in Hilti PROFIS Rebar 2.0
i.) Can the post-installation technology also be used for shear reinforcement?
Although this topic is still under research, Hilti already offers well-proven solutions for post-
installed shear interface reinforcement and for post-installed punching shear reinforcement.
