2 Rebar basics
2.1 Definition of rebar
Rebar is standing for REinforcement BAR. At Hilti the word is used for a reinforcement bar
inserted into a borehole filled with Hilti HIT in reinforced concrete structures, in other words for
post-installed reinforcement. Post-installed reinforcement can be split up into four different main
applications:
• Good detailing practice
• Shear studs
• Rebar as structural rebar
• Rebar as an anchor
In the course of the Anchor FTM the focus will be on the last two types of applications.
Chapter 3, “Adhesive Anchoring Systems”, deals with rebar as an anchor. The current chapter
focuses on rebar as structural rebar, where the reinforcement is purely loaded in the longitudinal
direction.

Figure 2.1: Example of structural rebar application
Structural rebar is characterized by very high loads. The reinforcement is often loaded up to
steel yielding. The concrete structure (connection) shows a good serviceability. The
deformations are small and due to this the crack width and therefore the influences by the
environment (corrosion) are limited. The concrete connections behave as a monolithic structure
or in other words as if the concrete was poured in one go. The high loads which can occur in
either the anchorage or the splice can lead to an embedment length up to 15 till 80 times the
diameter of the reinforcement.
The design can be done according to two design concepts;
• Structural code, for instance EC2 EN 1992-1-1:2004 chapter 8.4 anchorage of
longitudinal reinforcement, based on approvals (e.g. ETA according to EOTA TR023)
See paragraph 4 of this chapter for an overview of the approvals
• Hilti HIT-Rebar design concept, based on the American Standard (ACI 318-08), where
the allowable bond stress is controlled by splitting / spalling behaviour.
For this type of connections an engineer is usually involved in the design.

2.2 Rebar as an anchor

Rebar as an anchor is characterized by the fact it is not possible to splice the reinforcement
(due to e.g. lack of useable reinforcement). The loads are typically smaller as in the case of
structural rebar and the serviceability is slightly lower. The anchor failure modes like concrete
cone failure or combined concrete cone and pull-out failure are considered in this application
according to standard anchor design.
For this type of connections an engineer is usually involved in the design.
2.3 Cast-in ribbed bars

Generally, for load transfer in reinforced concrete only tensile or compressive forces in bars are
considered.
For ribbed bars, the load transfer in concrete is governed by the bearing of the ribs against the
concrete (figure 2.3.a). The force reaction in the concrete is assumed to form a compressive
strut in the direction of 45°.
For higher bond stress values, the concentrated bearing forces in front of the ribs cause the
formation of cone-shaped cracks starting at the crest of the ribs. The resulting concrete keys
between the ribs transfer the bearing forces into the surrounding concrete, but the wedging
action of the ribs remains limited. In this stage the displacement of the bar with respect to the
concrete (slip) consists of bending of the keys and crushing of the concrete in front of the ribs.
The bearing forces, which are inclined with respect to the bar axis, can be decomposed into
directions parallel and perpendicular to the bar axis. The sum of the parallel components equals
the bond force, whereas the radial components induce circumferential tensile stresses in the
surrounding concrete, which may result in longitudinal radial (splitting / spalling) cracks.
Figure 2.3.a: Load transfer from ribbed bars into concrete
Two failure modes can be considered:

a) Bond failure (fig. 2.3.a):
If the confinement (concrete cover, transverse reinforcement) is sufficient to prevent splitting of
the concrete cover, bond failure is caused by pull-out of the bar. In that case the concrete keys
are sheared off and a sliding plane around the bar is created. Thus, the force transfer
mechanism changes from rib bearing to friction. The shear resistance of the keys can be
considered as a criterion for this transition. It is attended by a considerable reduction of the
bond stress. Under continued loading the sliding surface is smoothed due to wear and
compaction, which will result in a further decrease of the bond stress, similar to the case of plain
bars.
6 / 2010 681
rebar connections
b) Splitting failure (fig. 2.3.b):

If the radial cracks propagate through the entire cover, bond
splitting failure is decisive. In that case the maximum bond stress
follows from the maximum concrete confinement, which is
reached when the radial cracks have penetrated the cover for
about 70%. Further crack propagation results in a decrease of
the confining stresses. At reaching the outer surface these Figure 2.3.b
stresses are strongly reduced, which results in a sudden drop of
the bond stress.
2.4 Lapped bar splices

2.4.1 Model for load transfer at lapped bar splices
The load transfer between bars is performed by means of compressive struts in the concrete
(fig. 2.4.1). A 45° truss model is assumed. The resulting perpendicular forces act in a similar
way as the splitting forces. The splitting forces normally are taken up by the transverse
reinforcement. Small splitting forces are attributed to the tensile capacity of the concrete. The
amount of the transverse or tie reinforcement necessary is specified in the design codes.
Figure 2.4.1: Load transfer at lap splices
2.4.2 Influence of spacing and cover on splitting and spalling of concrete

In most cases the reinforcement bars are placed close to the surface of the concrete member to
achieve good crack distribution and economical bending capacity. For splices at wide spacing
(normally in slabs, fig. 2.4.2a), the bearing capacity of the concrete depends only on the
thickness of the concrete cover. At narrow spacing (normally in beams, fig. 2.4.2.b) the bearing
capacity depends on the spacing and on the thickness of the cover. In the design codes the
reduction of bearing capacity of the cover is taken into account by means of multiplying factors
for the splice length.
Figure 2.4.2.a Figure 2.4.2.b

Splitting Spalling
2.4.3 Bond behaviour of post-installed ribbed bars

The load transfer for post-installed bars is similar to cast in bars if the stiffness of the overall
load transfer mechanism is similar to the cast-in system. The efficiency depends on the strength
682 6 / 2010
rebar connections
of the adhesive mortar against the concentrated load near the ribs and on the capacity of load
transfer at the interface of the drilled hole.
In many cases the bond values of post-installed bars are higher compared to cast in bars due to
better performance of the adhesive mortar. But for small edge distance and/or narrow spacing
splitting or spalling forces become decisive due to the low tensile capacity of the concrete.
3 Design basics
3.1 Rebar design methods
Post-installed reinforcement connections can basically be designed in compliance with the

national codes. Hilti is offering two design methods of which one is based on the Eurocode 2
(EC2 EN 1992-1-1:2004) and the other one on the American Standard (ACI 318-08). The most
important characteristics will be explained in the following paragraphs.
3.2 Rebar design according to EC2/ETA approach
The new technical report EOTA – TR 023 (Assessment of post-installed rebar connections)
establishes a common method to qualify chemical anchors in compliance with EC2. Chemical
anchors must comply with a predefined step-diagram for the different concrete classes (Figure
3.2: Chemical anchors without limitations). In general it shall be shown by the tests as described
in the TR 023 that the post-installed rebar systems can develop the same design values of bond
resistance with the same safety margin as cast-in place rebars according to EC2. In EC2 no
requirements for testing are given, but the values for fbd are published.
These values are valid for worst case conditions, minimum concrete cover, minimum spacing
and minimum transverse reinforcement.
In Figure 3.2 a comparison is given which bond resistance in the tests and evaluation according
TR 023 have to be reached (on y- axis) to show equivalence with the values fbd (on x- axis).
A European Technical Approvals according to the EOTA TR023 allows a design according to
EC2. However a design for fire resistance, fatigue, dynamic or seismic loading are excluded.
The ETA for Rebar proves that approved systems are robust and durable. Influences of bad
cleaning, wet holes, creep, freeze/thaw, durability, corrosion resistance, installation directions
are tested within the approval.
The post-installed rebar connections assessed according to TR 023 shall be designed as
straight cast-in reinforcement according to EC2 using the values of the design bond resistance
fbd for deformed bars. The definition of the bond region in EC2 is valid also for post-installed
reinforcement. The conditions in EC2 concerning detailing (e.g. concrete cover in respect to
bond and corrosion resistance, bar spacing, transverse reinforcement) shall be complied with.
6 / 2010 683
rebar connections
Figure 3.2: Chemical anchors without limitations from EOTA TR023
The following additional provisions have to be taken into account.

• To prevent damage of the concrete during drilling the following requirements have to be
met:
cmin = 30 + 0,06lv ≥ 2ds (mm) for hammer drilled holes, with ds being the
diameter of the rebar
cmin = 50 + 0,08lv ≥ 2ds (mm) for compressed air drilled holes
The factors 0,06 and 0,08 take into account the possible deviations during the drilling
process. This value might be smaller if special drilling aid devices are used.
• Minimum clear spacing between two post-installed rebars a = 40 mm ≥4ds
• To account for potentially different behaviour of post-installed and cast-in rebars in
cracked concrete, in general, the minimum embedment length lb,min and l0,min given in
EC2 for anchorages and overlap splices shall be increased by a factor of 1,5. This
increase may be neglected if it can be shown that the bond strength of the selected post-
installed rebars and cast-in rebars in cracked concrete (w = 0,3 mm) is similar. In this
case the influence of cracks openings (crack movement tests) can be neglected because
for rebar connections several rebars are present (redundant fastening) and not all of the
rebars will be situated in a longitudinal crack.
The transfer of shear forces between new and old concrete shall be designed according to EC2.
See also paragraph 3.4 “strut-and-tie model”.
The reader is referred to the paragraph 4 “EC2 Design” for more detail about this design
concept.

3.3 Hilti HIT-Rebar design and ACI 318-08 approach
The American Standard ACI (American Concrete Institute) 318-08 gives an explicit formula for
the design of anchorages and splices that considers splitting and spalling as a function of
concrete cover and bar spacing. This function is adapted and extended for post-installed
reinforcement for the Hilti HIT-Rebar design concept. The embedment length of an anchorage
or splice is defined as a function of concrete strength, the bar diameter, the minimum edge
distance or spacing and a coefficient taking into account the transverse reinforcement.
In figure 3.3 a typical design bond stress fbd curve as a function of the minimum edge
distance/spacing distance, cd is shown for a concrete class C20/25 and for a rebar with a
diameter of 12 mm (EC2/ETA approach). In this figure the equivalent design bond stresses
resulting from the ACI and the EC2/ETA approaches are plotted to illustrate the two methods
(the design bond stresses shown in the figure shall not be used for design purposes). The
reduction of anchoring length allowed by ACI and EC2/ETA in specific conditions can be
assimilated to an increase of the equivalent design bond stress if cd changes within certain
limits. The equivalent design bond stress is defined by an inclined line and it increases with
larger values of cd. The increase in the design bond stress is limited by the maximum pull-out
bond stress, which is a value which is given by the standards in the case of a cast-in
reinforcement. For post-installed reinforcement, the maximum design bond stress is a function
of the bonding agent and not necessarily equals that of cast-in bars. Thus, the limitation for
bond failure in the code has been replaced by the specific design bond stress of the bonding
agent for the specific application conditions and the splitting function has been adapted
according to the tests.

Interaction of concrete cover and transverse reinforcement (splitting reinforcement)
Tests show that transverse reinforcement improves the splitting capacity. Transverse
reinforcement can be taken into account by adding a substitute value for the cover.
The ACI 318-08 code explicitly takes into account the influence of transverse reinforcement able
to prevent splitting by means of the “transverse reinforcement index” Ktr.

3.4 Strut-and-tie model

Crack limitation Compression cord and strut
The tensile bearing capacity of (concrete)
concrete is very low compared to
its compressive strength. For this
Joint to be
reason tensile forces are attributed roughened
to the steel reinforcement of the
concrete member. The
reinforcement should be
adequately anchored in the nodes Tension cord Tension ties
{Clause 6.5.3(2), EC2: EN 1992-1-
1:2004}. Figure 3.4: Strut-and-tie-model
A strut-and-tie model is used to calculate the load path in reinforced concrete members. Where
a non-linear strain distribution exists (e.g. supports) strut-and-tie models may be used {Clause
6.5.1(1), EC2: EN 1992-1-1:2004}.
Strut-and-tie models consist of struts representing compressive stress fields, of ties
representing the reinforcement and of the connecting nodes. The forces in the elements of a
strut-and-tie model should be determined by maintaining the equilibrium with the applied loads
in ultimate limit state. The ties of a strut-and-tie model should coincide in position and direction
with the corresponding reinforcement {Clause 5.6.4, EC2: EN 1992-1-1:2004 Analysis with strut
and tie models}.
3.5 Joint to be roughened
The model of inclined compressive struts is used to transfer the shear forces through the
construction joint at the interface between concrete cast at different times. Therefore a rough
interface is required to provide sufficient cohesion in the construction joint {Clause 6.2.5(2),
EC2: EN 1992-1-1:2004}. Rough means a surface with at least 3 mm roughness (Rt > 3 mm),
achieved by raking, exposing the aggregate or other methods giving an equivalent behaviour.
3.6 Anchorage of reinforcement
The reinforcement has to be anchored at places where it is no longer needed. These situations
may occur:
• when the load path of the tensile force has ended (e.g. support, figure 3.6.a)
• at curtailment of reinforcement (see figure 3.6.b)
• compression bar anchorage (see figure 3.6.c).

3.7 Lapped splice of reinforcement
Lapped splices are used to achieve continuity in the tensile tie of the truss
model at construction joints. The load from one bar to the other is transferred
by means of compressive struts in the concrete. A 45°-truss model is
assumed.
The resulting splitting force (design bond stress) is limited to a value
depending on the surface characteristics of the reinforcement, the tensile
strength of the concrete and confinement of surrounding concrete. This
depends on sufficient concrete cover, spacing of bar, transverse pressure
and by the transverse reinforcement {Clause 6.6, EC2: EN 1992-1-1:2004}. Figure 3.7: Lapped splice
4 EC2 design
4.1 General
The actual position of the reinforcement in the existing structure shall be determined on the basis of the
construction documentation and taken into account when designing. The transfer of shear forces between new
concrete and existing structure shall be designed according to EC2 EN 1992-1-1:2004. See also paragraph 3.4
“Strut-and-tie model” The joints for concreting must be roughened to at least such an extent that aggregate
protrude. See also paragraph 3.5 “Joint to be roughened”.
The design of post-installed rebar connections and determination of the internal section forces to be transferred in
the construction joint shall be verified in accordance with EC2 EN 1992-1-1:2004. When ascertaining the tensile
force in the rebar, allowance shall be made for the statically effective height of the bonded-in reinforcement. See
also paragraph 5.2 “Example with overlap joint”

lb,rqd = (ds / 4) (σsd / fbd)
with: ds = diameter of the rebar

σsd = calculated design stress of the rebar

4.4 Overlap joints

Forces are transmitted from one bar to another by lapping the bars. The detailing of laps between bars shall be
such that:
- the transmission of the forces from one bar to the next is assured
- spalling of the concrete in the neighbourhood of the joints does not occur

rebar connections
Laps between bars should not be located in areas of high moments / forces (e.g. plastic hinges) and at any section
normally be arranged symmetrically. The arrangement of lapped bars should comply with Figure 4.4. The clear
distance between lapped bars should be ≤ 4ø and ≤ 50 mm, otherwise the lap length should be increased by a
length equal to the clear space where it exceeds 4ø or 50 mm.

details.)
Values of α1, α2, α3 and α5 may be taken from Table 4.1; however, for the calculation of α3, ΣAst,min should be taken
as 1,0 As(σsd/fyd), with As = area of one lapped bar.

4.5 Embedment depth for overlap joints

Overlap joint for rebars:
For calculation of the effective embedment depth of overlap joints the concrete cover at end-face of the post-
installed rebar c1 shall be considered:
lv ≥ l0 + c1
with: l0 = required lap length according to paragraph 4.4.
c1 = concrete cover at end-face of bonded-in rebar. See Figure 4.5

Figure 4.5: Concrete cover c1
If the clear distance between the overlapping bars is greater than 4ds the lap length shall be enlarged by the
difference between the actual clear distance and 4ds.
4.6 Concrete cover
The minimum concrete cover required for bonded-in rebars is shown in the ETA approvals in relation to the drilling
method and the hole tolerance. Furthermore the minimum concrete cover given in clause 4.4.1.2, EC2: EN 1992-1-

clause 8.7.4, EC2: EN 1992-1-1:2004.
4.8 Connection joint

In case of a carbonated surface of the existing concrete structure the carbonated layer shall be removed in the
area of the post installed rebar connection with a diameter of ds + 60 mm prior to the installation of the new rebar.
The depth of concrete to be removed shall correspond to at least the minimum concrete cover for the respective
environmental conditions in accordance with EC2: EN 1992-1-1:2004.

6 Corrosion behavior
The Swiss Association for Protection against Corrosion (SGK) was given the assignment of evaluating the
corrosion behavior of fastenings post-installed in concrete using the Hilti HIT-HY 150, Hilti HIT-HY 150 MAX and
Hilti HIT-RE 500 injection systems.
Corrosion tests were carried out. The behavior of the two systems had to be evaluated in relation to their use in
field practice and compared with the behavior of cast-in reinforcement. The SGK can look back on extensive
experience in this field, especially on expertise in the field of repair and maintenance work.
The result can be summarized as follows:
Hilti HIT-HY 150 + Hilti HIT-HY 150 MAX

• The Hilti HIT-HY 150 and Hilti HIT-HY 150 MAX systems in combination with reinforcing bars can be
considered resistant to corrosion when they are used in sound, alkaline concrete. The alkalinity of the
adhesive mortar safeguards the initial passivation of the steel. Owing to the porosity of the adhesive mortar,
an exchange takes place with the alkaline pore solution of the concrete.
• If rebars are bonded-in into chloride-free concrete using this system, in the event of later chloride exposure,
the rates of corrosion are about half those of rebars that are cast-in.
• In concrete containing chlorides, the corrosion behavior of the system corresponds to that of cast-in rebars.
Consequently, the use of unprotected steel in concrete exposed to chlorides in the past or possibly in the
future is not recommended because corrosion must be expected after only short exposure times.
Hilti HIT-RE 500

• If the Hilti HIT-RE 500 system is used in corrosive surroundings, a sufficiently thick coat of adhesive
significantly increases the time before corrosion starts to attack the bonded-in steel.
• The HIT-RE 500 system may be described as resistant to corrosion, even in concrete that is carbonated and
contains chlorides, if a coat thickness of at least 1 mm can be ensured. In this case, the unprotected steel in
the concrete joint and in the new concrete is critical.
• If the coat thickness is not ensured, the HIT-RE 500 system may be used only in sound concrete. A rebar may
then also be in contact with the wall of the drilled hole. At these points, the steel behaves as though it has a
thin coating of epoxy resin.
• In none of the cases investigated did previously rusted steel (without chlorides) show signs of an attack by
corrosion, even in concrete containing chlorides.
• Neither during this study an acceleration of corrosion was found at defective points in the adhesive nor was
there any reference to this in literature. Even if a macro-element forms, the high resistance to it spreading
inhibits a locally increased rate of corrosion.
• Information in reference data corresponds with the results of this study.
7 Fire design
If passive fire prevention requirements have to be met, the suitability of rebar connections should be verified
additionally to ULS cold design.
Large-area building components (walls and floors) can be verified according to tables 1 and 2. The design tables
are derived from tests at the University / IBMB Braunschweig following the Standard ISO 834 temperature/time
curve. Design for fire resistance is carried out in line with several specific standards. On the following pages only
the fire data for Standard according EC2 are given.
Details to all available Standards and specific reports are named below the following tables.
Note for the following tables 1 to 6: Fs,T = force in bar when exposed to fire.
Intermediate values may be interpolated linearly. Extrapolating is not permitted.

8 Fatigue of bonded-in reinforcement for joints with

predominantly cyclical imposed loading
8.1 General notes
For loadbearing elements which are subjected to considerable cyclic stress the bonded-in connections should be
designed for fatigue. In that case evidence for fatigue of reinforcing steel bars, concrete and bond should be
provided separately.
For simple cases it is reasonable to use simplified methods on the safe side.
The partial safety factors for loads are specified in the code for reinforced concrete.
The partial safety factors for material are specified in Table 4.3.
Table 4.3: Partial safety factors for materials subjected to cyclic loading
Evidence for concrete bond reinforcing bars (steel)
Partial safety factor 1.5 1.8 1.15
8.2 Fatigue of reinforcing bars (steel)

The resistance for fatigue of reinforcing bars (steel) is specified in the actual code for reinforced concrete. The
behaviour of the steel of reinforcing bars bonded-in by means of Hilti HIT is at least as good as cast-in place
reinforcement.
8.3 Fatigue of bond and concrete (simplified approach)

As a simple and conservative approach on the safe side evidence for fatigue is proven if the following equation is
valid:
FSd,fat ≤ NRd ⋅ f fat
where:
FSd,fat Design value of the anchorage force for the ruling loading model for fatigue.
NRd Design resistance for static load of the anchorage (bond and concrete).
f fat Reduction factor for fatigue for bond and concrete: f fat = 0.5
If max/min of cycles is known, reduction factors are shown in Figure 4.13.

1.2 Application examples

Post-installed rebar connections in new construction projects

Misplaced bars Vertical/horizontal connections

Post-installed rebar connections in structure updgrades

Joint strenghtening Cantilevers/balconies

Post-installed rebar connections in infrastructure requalifications

Slab strenghtening Side-walk upgrade

Figure 2.1: Example of structural rebar application

For this type of connections an engineer is usually involved in the design.

The following additional provisions have to be taken into account.

3.3 Hilti HIT-Rebar design and ACI 318-08 approach

Interaction of concrete cover and transverse reinforcement (splitting reinforcement)

Hilti HIT-Rebar design concept

3.4 Strut-and-tie model

3.5 Joint to be roughened

3.6 Anchorage of reinforcement

3.7 Lapped splice of reinforcement

4.2 Determination of the basic anchorage length

lb,rqd = (ds / 4) (σsd / fbd)

with: ds = diameter of the rebar

4.3 Determination of the design anchorage length

α2 is for the effect of concrete minimum cover

α3 is for the effect of confinement by transverse reinforcement

lb,rqd = according to section 5.2

a) Anchorage according to European Technical Approval (ETA) 08/0105, Post-installed

Determination of the design anchorage length

α3 = 1,0 because of no transverse reinforcement

lbd = 0,7 x 496 = 347 mm

2/3lbd = 231 mm ⇒ 230 mm

b) Anchorage according to Hilti HIT-Rebar design method (splitting):

Reinforcement provided: ∅12, s = 200 mm; A s,prov = 565 mm²/m
