Standard Test Method for Performing Tension Tests on Glass-Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) Bonding Pads

SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers determination of the tensile load capacity of glass-fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) bonding pads used for attaching steel anchors to GFRC architectural panels.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for information only.

3. Significance and Use
3.1 Tensile loads determined by this test method are useful
for quality control of GFRC architectural panels manufactured
using the steel panel frame support design. In addition, test
results may be used to verify compliance with governing
specifications, research and development, and generating data
for use in product design.
