Abstract
Pull-out strength tests conducted on screw anchors in uncracked concrete substrates of the C25/30 class are presented in this article. The destructive force for anchor–concrete fasting was tested, and in the next step, the average pull-out strengths of screw anchors in concrete substrates with and without the addition of steel fiber were determined. Currently, the pull-out strengths of anchors in fiber-reinforced concrete substrates are defined as for unreinforced concrete substrates. Therefore, pull-out tests were performed for screw anchors in fiber-reinforced concrete substrates. Fiber contents of 10, 20, 30, and 50 kg/m3 were used. An increase in the load capacity of screw anchors in a fiber-reinforced concrete substrate was demonstrated in a pull-out test compared to base samples without fibers. The coefficient related to the actual fastening behavior of a screw anchor in the fiber-reinforced concrete substrate was determined. It was assumed that a coefficient of 13.10 should be adopted. This was the lowest value obtained for the load capacity in this study for screw anchors in a fiber-reinforced concrete substrate.
