Tested for Strength and Safety

AdvanConn’s products are meticulously tested in the field to ensure that they exceed American Concrete Institute standards for connecting precast concrete wall panels to foundations and for making connections between panels. Tests are performed using full-size panels in field conditions that are identical to installation environments. All AdvanConn products exceed ACI standards and are proudly manufactured in the USA to meet the most stringent conditions and provide the safest connections – all with no field welding!

PC-10 Testing

PC-10 Testing Highlights

  • Full-scale testing

  • Devices subjected to four tests: shear, tension, in-plane, out-of-plane, and combined in-and-out of plane

  • Each device resisted at least 1.7 times nominal design strength in tension

  • Application of shear loads was limited to the shear capacity of the anchor and bolt alone
  • Shear loads were applied with no grout in the 1″ space between the bottom of the panel and top of foundation
  • In all cases, devices experienced only ductile reaction to loads

PA-12 Testing

PA-12 Testing Highlights

  • Full-scale testing

  • Devices subjected to four tests: shear, tension, in-plane, out-of-plane, and combined in-and-out of plane

  • Each device could resist 2.44 times nominal design strength in tension

  • Application of shear loads was limited to the shear capacity of the anchor and bolt alone
  • Shear loads were applied with no grout in the 1″ space between the bottom of the panel and top of foundation
  • In all cases, devices experienced only ductile reaction to loads

PA-EX Testing

PA-EX Testing Highlights

  • Full-scale testing

  • Devices subjected to four tests: shear, tension, in-plane, out-of-plane, and combined in-and-out of plane

  • Each device could resist 1.86 times nominal design strength in tension

  • Application of shear loads was limited to the shear capacity of the anchor and bolt alone
  • Shear loads were applied with no grout in the 1″ space between the bottom of the panel and top of foundation
  • In all cases, devices experienced only ductile reaction to loads

SC-10k Testing

SC-10 Testing Highlights

  • Full-scale testing

  • Both SC-a and SC-b resisted 10 kips

  • This suggests that the larger bolt gauges in SC-b did not affect the capacity.

  • The larger connection plates and bolt gauges in SC-b did not impact the capacity.
