Wall Armor Pullout Testing.

Abstract

This report is the result of a full-scale pullout test program performed for the purpose of providing comparative data on the pullout resistance of headed stud versus anchor strap designs of wall armor assemblies used in concrete locks. A total of eight wall armor assemblies were fabricated and embedded into concrete specimens during this test program. Thirteen pullout tests were performed with the two different designs of wall armor assemblies. The anchor strap designs exhibited the highest pullout resistance. Test results indicated that the anchor strap assemblies distributed stress over larger areas of the concrete specimens, thereby resisting greater loadings. Keywords: Anchor straps, Boundaries(Failure), Cracking, Deterioration, Failure cone, Headed studs, Lockwall armor assemblies, Pullout resistance, Rupture, Tensile testing.
