Solutions for cracked concrete
Code provisions in the 2006 IBC require the industry to factor in whether conditions exist that may cause concrete to crack.
The provisions also require new anchorage solutions. Simpson Strong-Tie Anchor Systems has several code-listed solutions for cracked concrete, including SET-XP Epoxy-Tie adhesive (see ICC-ES evaluation report: ESR-2508), Titen HD screw anchor (ESR-2713) and Strong-Bolt wedge anchor (ESR-1771).
