This course provides a foundational understanding of anchorage to concrete, focusing on the behavior, classification, and design of both cast-in-place and post-installed anchors. Participants will explore the principles of anchor performance under tension, shear, and combined loading, as governed by ACI 318-19 Chapter 17. The course also covers anchor qualification requirements and highlights how installation quality, especially for adhesive anchors, significantly impacts structural reliability. Participants will leave with a practical appreciation of anchor design and the importance of proper selection and placement in structural applications.

The contents of this course include one recorded presentation from the ACI 2023 Fall Convention:
