FRP Anchors into Concrete

FRP Anchors into Concrete

FRP Anchors into Concrete

(OP)
I have an application where I've got some FRP Angle pieces I need to attach to uncracked concrete. I had thought to simply use expansion anchors, but wondered if there might be someone who makes fiberglass (FRP) versions of those, or if I could simply epoxy them into place similar to HILTI epoxy anchor system.

It would seem logical to use FRP rather than metal anchors. There's not anticipated to have a significant amount of force on the angles. This is just to hold them in place.

RE: FRP Anchors into Concrete

Illbay:

I'd stick with stainless fasteners. You might experience degradation of the FRP from the alkalinity of the concrete.

Regards,

DB
