Characteristic ultimate tensile load NRK = hef - 50
2.5

Characteristic ultimate shear load VRK = 0.5 hef.do.fcm
1000

Reduction factors for close edge distances and anchor spacing:
Tension and shear load reduction factor for close hole spacing
Smin = 0.50 hef ( 16 mm), Smin = 0.25 hef ( > 16 mm), Smax = 1 hef

Rfs = 0.4 + [0.6 (S / hef)] < 1.0

Tension load reduction factor for close edge distance
Cmin = 0.5 hef, Cmax = 1.5 hef

RfcN = 0.4 + [0.4 (C / hef)] < 1.0

Shear load reduction factor for close edge distance
Cmin = 0.50 hef, Cmax = 1.5 hef

RfcV = 0.25 + [0.5 (C / hef)] < 1.0

Notes:
1. All data assumes sound 25 MPa concrete
2. All data assumes concrete is in a dry condition and holes are thoroughly
cleaned.
3. The characteristic failure loads do not have factors of safety applied. The
characteristic failure loads assume no close spacing and close edge
reduction factors. Factors of safety of 2 or 3 are typically applied to
calculated NRK and VRK loads for reinforcing bar.
4. This information has been provided to assist qualified structural engineers
or other suitably skilled persons to assess anchorage requirements when
using Sika PowerFix-1. The designer is responsible for ensuring compliance
with all relevant Standards, Codes of Practices, Building Regulations,
Statutes, etc. All information is given as a guide only and it is the
responsibility of the designer to ensure that the anchors are appropriate for
their intended usage.

Notation:
hef = effective anchorage depth (mm)
NRK = anchor characteristic load under tension (kN)
VRK = anchor characteristic load under shear (kN)
do = hole diameter (mm)
fcm = concrete compressive strength (N/mm)
S = distance between anchors (mm)
C = distance of anchor from free edge (mm)

Cleaning Clean tools immediately after use with colma cleaner. Hardened material can
only be mechanically re-moved.

Cautions May cause sensitization by skin contact. Wear suitable gloves and eye/face
protection.
Use only in well ventilated areas.
Comp.A : Non-hazardous
Comp.B : Non-hazardous

Limitations Sika PowerFix-1 has excellent adhesion on porous, dry surfaces. Do not use
Sika PowerFix-1 on non-porous surfaces. Do not apply Sika PowerFix-1 to
surfaces with standing water on them. Sika PowerFix-1 will adhere to damp
surface but the tensile and shear load capacities will be reduced.

When using compressed air to clean out drilled holes for starters and bolts it is
essential that the hose be pushed to the base of the hole. This will ensure that
any dust is blown up to the top and out of the hole. Check that the compressed
air is clean and oil free.
