Is the HDI-P TZ and HDI-P drop in anchors for seismic design category D (comply with IBC ) deleted in the profis? Why? Is it still commercially available?

Hi. I just want to ask if you have a 3/8 dia wedge anchor that complies IBC for seismic design category D? If none, what alternative do you recommend that is 3/8 dia post-installed anchor?

Hello. Just asking when will the cpd points of the webinars I had attended be posted in my cpdas account? I attended post installed reinforcing bar on december 19 and understanding on-site testing on december 22.

I have attended a seminar provided by you about Anchoring to Concrete based on NSCP 7th Edition last December 20, 2024 11:00 AM and already received a certificate on the same day. But when I check my CPDAS account, It is still not credited yet as of now.

-Please refer to the attached reference. The hole became oversized due to inclined drilling, resulting in increased internal volume. Questions: -Can we fill the entire hole with RE 500 V3 and still proceed with the anchor installation? -If yes, kindly provide a technical reference supporting this solution. -If not, kindly sha...

-Can pull-out testing be conducted even if the anchor is already connected to a base plate? -The initial recommendation was to install a separate test anchor near the connection, but the designer did not allow it. Questions: -If yes, please provide a technical reference or methodology for this testing approach. -If not, what ...

-As per design, the required embedment depth is 200 mm. However, due to over-drilling, the hole ended up with a depth of 300 mm (an extra 100 mm). Question: -Can the extra 100 mm be filled with RE 500 V3, allowed to cure, and then proceed with installing the anchor at the correct 200 mm embedment depth? -In this case, the bot...

-In this case, the contractor filled the hole with RE 500 V3. However, while the recommended embedment depth was 200 mm, the epoxy was only filled up to 100 mm. The anchor has already been installed, and the epoxy has fully cured. -This means the installation did not meet the required volume of RE500 v3 to achieve full hole fi...

-What is the difference between dry concrete and water-saturated concrete when installing chemical anchors, particularly RE 500 V3? -How does moisture affect the bond strength? (or any factors affected) -Can you provide a technical reference or document supporting this claim?

scenario is we are to install overhead fastening using M20, instead of the usual RE500v3, we would be proposing the use of the capsule type HVU2. however, designer is not so flexible when it comes to embedment depth of 150mm only. what happens when we install HVU2 M20, that should be having embedment depth of 170mm reduced onl...
