I Objective and request

MFPA Leipzig GmbH was ordered by Stanley Black & Decker Deutschland
GmbH to assess the load bearing behaviour of anchor screws “Wall-Dog“
under centrical tensile loading and one-sided fire loading according to the
standard-time-temperature-curve (STTC) (see [N1]). The assessment and
with that the determination of the characteristic tensile load bearing ca-
pacities under fire-exposure base on results of fire tests and include the
failure mode “steel failure“. Considering the failure modes “pull-out failu-
re“ and “concrete cone failure“, reference to the acknowledged rules of
technology is given.

1 Description of the construction

The advisory opinion at hand covers anchor screws “Wall-Dog“ with the
screw heads “pan head“ and “countersunk“ for anchorage in concrete
structures, each produced in the variant “cross-recessed“ and “torx“. For
each variant, screws with the length l = 32mm, l = 50mm and l = 70mm
are available. The nominal diameter amounts to d = 5mm for each variant,
the embedment depth amounts to hnom = 29mm, independent from the
screw length.
As bulk material, carbon steel AISI C1018-1022 is utilized in all cases. Since
the surface treatment (chrome plating, coat of paint) does not influence
the load bearing capacity of the screws in case of fire, no distinction is
made with respect to the feature. For a detailed product description and
further information with respect to the scope of application, please see the
manufacturers’ instructions.

III Assessment of the performance

1 Design concept
The characteristic load bearing capacity of a screw in case of fire has to
be determined as the minimum value of the load bearing capacities for the
failure modes steel failure, pull-out failure and concrete cone failure
 
NRk,f i (t) = mi n NRk,p,f i (t), NRk,s,f i (t), NRk,c,f i (t) . (1)

2 Steel failure
The temperature-dependent load bearing capacity of anchor screws “Wall-
Dog“ is limited to the load bearing capacity of the screw cross section.
Hence, steel failure under fire-exposure always occurs in the shape of tea-
ring of the screw.
The analysis of the temperature-dependent load bearing capacity is car-
ried out in dependence on [N3] and [N5], respectively. According to [N3],
the load bearing capacity in conjunction with steel failure has to be deter-
mined by means of fire tests considering fire loading according to STTC
(see [N1]). The procedure is described in [N4] and coincides with the in-
structions given in [N5]. The respective test are documented in [G1], the
evaluation of the test results is carried out in the framework of the docu-
ment at hand in dependence on [N3, N5].

2.1 Influence of screw head

The fire tests documented in [G1] were mainly carried out considering
the screw variant “pan head“, being on the safe side. The load bearing
capacities specified in Section III.2.4 may also be used for the screw variant
“countersunk“.

2.2 Influence of length

All fire tests described in [G1] were carried out using screws of the length
l = 70mm. The load bearing capacities specified in Section III.2.4 may
also be used for screws of the length l = 32mm and l = 50mm.

2.3 Influence of recess

The fire tests documented in [G1] were carried out considering the screw
variant “torx“. The load bearing capacities specified in Section III.2.4 may
also be used for the screw variant “cross-recessed“.

2.4 Load bearing capacity under fire-exposure

The test results documented in [G1] were evaluated according to [N3, N5].
In Table 1, the characteristic tensile load bearing capacities NRk,s,f i (t)
[kN] for steel failure are specified depending on the duration of fire expos-
ure.

Tabelle 1: Anchor screws “Wall-Dog“: Characteristic tensile load bearing

capacities NRk,s,f i (t) [kN] for steel failure

3 Pull-out failure
If the tensile loading of a screw exceeds the bond strength, pull-out failure
occurs. The characteristic tensile load bearing capacity NRk,p,f i (t) for pull-
out failure is calculated according to [N5], Chapter 2.2.1.2 (Simplified
design method for the determination of the duration of the fire resistance
of anchorages) and according to [N6], Appendix D.4.2.3, respectively. For
durations of fire-exposure up to 90 minutes holds

NRk,p,f i(90) = 0,25 · NRk,p (2)

and for durations of fire-exposure between 90 and 120 minutes

NRk,p,f i(120) = 0,2 · NRk,p (3)

with NRk,p : characteristic load bearing capacity for pull-out failure at room
temperature in cracked concrete C20/25.

4 Concrete cone failure

Concrete cone failure in conjunction with centrically loaded screws occurs,
when the tensile strength of the concrete is locally exceeded. The charac-
0
teristic tensile load bearing capacity NRk,c,f i (t) for concrete cone failure
is calculated according to [N5], Chapter 2.2.1.3 (Simplified design method
for the determination of the duration of the fire resistance of anchorages)
and according to [N6], Appendix D.4.2.2, respectively. For durations of
fire-exposure up to 90 minutes holds

capacity NRk,c,f i to be considered in the framework of the design has to

neighbouring screws and the edge distance. In this context, reference is
given to [N6], Chapter 7.2.1.4 and Appendix D.4.2.2

IV Special notes
The assessment at hand is valid for anchor screws “Wall-Dog“ with the
screw heads “pan head“ and “countersunk“ for anchorage in concrete
structures, each as “cross-recessed“ and “torx“ variant in length
l = 32mm, l = 50mm and l = 70mm which are installed according to the
manufacturers’ instructions. The mechanical loading may not exceed the
load bearing capacity in ambient climate.

The load bearing capacities specified in the framework of the document at

hand are determined for one-sided fire loading according to the standard-
time-temperature-curve. According to [N5], the values may also be used for
multilateral fire loading when the edge distance of the screw is c ≥ 300mm
and c ≥ 2 · hef .

The load bearing capacities specified in the framework of the document

at hand are determined for centrical tensile loading in the screws longitu-
dinal direction. According to [N3], the values may be transferred to tensile
loading perpendicular and diagonal to the axis of the screw on the safe side.

The assessment at hand is valid for constructions of reinforced or un-

reinforced normal concrete of the strength class ≥ C20/25 and ≤ C50/60
according to [N2], which exhibit at least the same fire resistance class as
the utilized screws. The design of the concrete construction has to be
carried out according to [N7].

The load bearing capacities specified in the framework of the document

at hand are determined assuming that no explosive concrete spalling oc-
curs and are only valid under this condition. Evidence on the prevention of
explosive concrete spalling is given in [N7], chapter 4.5.
