4.5.5 The following assumptions in respect to installation have been made in this CEN/TS. The installation
instructions should reflect them:
1) The fastener should be fixed to the formwork or auxiliary constructions in a way that no movement of the
fastener will occur during placing of reinforcement or during pouring and compacting of the concrete.
2) Requirements for
 adequate compaction particularly under the head of the stud or fastener and under the fixture,
 provisions for vent openings in fixtures larger than 400 mm × 400 mm.
3) Requirement for inspection and approval of the correct installation of the fasteners by qualified personnel.
4) The following conditions should be observed if the fasteners are vibrated (not just punched) into the wet
concrete immediately after pouring:
 The size of the fixture does not exceed 200 mm × 200 mm and the number of fastenings is limited to
4 fasteners, so that it can be placed simultaneously during vibrating by the available personnel.
 The installation is done according to a quality system.
 The fastenings should not be moved after vibrating has been finished.
 The concrete under the head of the headed stud or anchor as well as under the base plate should be
properly compacted.
5) The welding procedure for studs should be done in accordance with the provisions given in the relevant
European Technical Specification.
6) Inspection and approval of the correct installation of the fasteners is carried out by appropriately qualified
personnel.
5 Determination of action effects
5.3 Tension forces in a supplementary reinforcement
5.3.1 General
Where supplementary reinforcement is provided, the design tension forces in the supplementary
reinforcement should be established using an appropriate strut and tie model. The supplementary
reinforcement should be designed to resist the total external load on the fastening.
5.3.2 Fasteners loaded in tension
The design tension forces N in the supplementary reinforcement should be calculated using the design
Ed, re
load on the fastener.
5.3.3 Fixtures loaded in shear
The design tension force N in the supplementary reinforcement caused by the design shear force V
Ed, re Ed
acting on a fixture is given by Equation (1).

6.2.2 Detailing of supplementary reinforcement
When the design relies on supplementary reinforcement, concrete cone failure according to Equation (4)
needs not to be verified but the supplementary reinforcement should be designed to resist the total load.
The supplementary reinforcement to take up tension loads should comply with the following requirements (see
also Figure 2):
a) In general, the same diameter of the reinforcement should be provided for all fasteners of a group. The
2
reinforcement should consist of ribbed reinforcing bars (f ≤ 500 N/mm ) with a diameter d not larger
yk s
than 16 mm and should be detailed in form of stirrups or loops with a mandrel diameter according to
EN 1992-1-1.

4.5.5 The following assumptions in respect to installation have been made in this CEN/TS. The installation
instructions should reflect them:
1) The fastener should be fixed to the formwork or auxiliary constructions in a way that no movement of the
fastener will occur during placing of reinforcement or during pouring and compacting of the concrete.
2) Requirements for
 adequate compaction particularly under the head of the stud or fastener and under the fixture,
 provisions for vent openings in fixtures larger than 400 mm × 400 mm.
3) Requirement for inspection and approval of the correct installation of the fasteners by qualified personnel.
4) The following conditions should be observed if the fasteners are vibrated (not just punched) into the wet
concrete immediately after pouring:
 The size of the fixture does not exceed 200mm × 200mm and the number of fastenings is limited to
4 fasteners, so that it can be placed simultaneously during vibrating by the available personnel.
 The installation is done according to a quality system.
 The fastenings should not be moved after vibrating has been finished.
 The concrete under the head of the headed stud or anchor as well as under the base plate should be
properly compacted.
5) The welding procedure for studs should be done in accordance with the provisions given in the relevant
European Technical Specification.
6) Inspection and approval of the correct installation of the fasteners is carried out by appropriately qualified
personnel.
5 Determination of action effects
5.3 Tension forces in a supplementary reinforcement
5.3.1 General
Where supplementary reinforcement is provided, the design tension forces in the supplementary
reinforcement should be established using an appropriate strut and tie model. The supplementary
reinforcement should be designed to resist the total external load on the fastening.
5.3.2 Fasteners loaded in tension
The design tension forces N in the supplementary reinforcement should be calculated using the design
Ed, re
load on the fastener.
5.3.3 Fixtures loaded in shear

6.2.2 Detailing of supplementary reinforcement
When the design relies on supplementary reinforcement, concrete cone failure according to Equation (4)
needs not to be verified but the supplementary reinforcement should be designed to resist the total load.
The supplementary reinforcement to take up tension loads should comply with the following requirements (see
also Figure 2):
a) In general, the same diameter of the reinforcement should be provided for all fasteners of a group. The
2
reinforcement should consist of ribbed reinforcing bars (f ≤ 500 N/mm ) with a diameter d not larger
yk s
than 16 mm and should be detailed in form of stirrups or loops with a mandrel diameter according to
EN 1992-1-1.

6.2.6 Splitting failure
6.2.6.1 Splitting failure due to installation
Splitting failure during installation e.g. by torquing of fasteners (see CEN/TS 1992-4-1:XXXX, Figure 3) is
avoided by complying with minimum values for edge distances c , spacing s , and member thickness h
min min min
and requirements for reinforcement as given in the relevant European Technical Specification.
NOTE Minimum values for edge distance, spacing and member thickness should also be observed for headed
fasteners not torqued to allow adequate placing and compaction of the concrete.

6.2.6.2 Splitting failure due to loading
6.2.6.1 No verification of splitting failure is required if one of the following conditions is fulfilled:
a) The edge distance in all directions is c > 1,0 c for fastenings with one anchor and c > 1,2 c for
cr,sp cr,sp
fastenings with more than one anchor.
The characteristic values c and s are given in the relevant European Technical Specification.

b) The characteristic resistance for concrete cone failure and pull-out failure is calculated for cracked
concrete and reinforcement resists the splitting forces and limits the crack width to w ≤ 0,3 mm.

For fastenings with several edge distances (e.g. fastening in a corner of the concrete member or in a narrow
member), the smallest edge distance c shall be inserted in Equation (18).
NOTE If in the European Technical Specification c for more than one member depth h is given, then the member

depth valid for the used c shall be inserted in Equation (4).

If the edge distance is smaller than the value c then a longitudinal reinforcement should be provided along

the edge of the member.
6.2.7 Blow-out failure
Verification of blow-out failure is not required if the edge distance in all directions exceeds c = 0,5 h . If a
