Various types of drilled-in inserts were tested under combined shear and tension loads. Based on the test results and observations, behaviour modes of failure are described. Empirical relationships are established to predict insert capacity and design recommendations are presented. Key words: expansion inserts, adhesive inserts, shear, tension, concrete block, clay brick.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
