Undercut vs epoxy anchor under dynamic loading
Undercut vs epoxy anchor under dynamic loading
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm designing drop-in concrete anchor for new vibration clamp on existing vibration pipe. The vibration clamp is directly installed on existing concrete column with drop-in anchors.The anhor is under dynamic (cyclic) load (1000 lbs p-p).
I'm confusing on using type of anchor, undercut vs epoxy anchor, for my application.
1. Vibration specialist recommended to used expoxy anchor, it will handle dynamic loads better than undercut anchor.
2. I'm checking with the anchor supplier, they said their undercut anchor is better than epoxy anchor for dynamic load and it has been tested in european.
Also, as per ACI annex D, it only covers anchor to be designed under static loading.
Could you please advide what type of anchor will be best for dynamic loads?
Any design guide for anchor under dynamic loading?
Thank you

I was looking for section in ETAG 001 that have guideline for designing an anchor under dynamic load but no luck.
Thanks
