Özet

This paper summarizes the results of experimental research and numerical model focused on determination of the behavior of pull-out performance limits of what embedded into currently the most widespread concrete type of Turkey as C25/30. Reinforcing bars having 14, 16 and 18 mm diameters have been selected as the anchor rod in this study. Epoxy based three component chemical adhesive has been used for the connection between concrete and anchor bar. The depth of holes was in the range of 140-220 mm which had been selected various for 14, 16 and 18 mm rebar diameters. Moreover, an attempt to predict the pull-out capacity of chemical anchors embedded into concrete using artificial neural networks (ANNs) is presented. The problem is proposed to network models by means of three inputs and one output parameter. The parameters such as reinforcement diameter, anchor depth, anchor diameter were selected as input variables. The effect of the depths of holes and rebar diameters on the pull-out capacity of adhesive anchors is product dependent. Test results showed that increasing the anchor diameter and the depths of hole have increased pull-out performance of anchors. The best algorithm for collapse loads of concrete ais the Levenberg-Marquardt back propagation with R2 of 0.9837. The results indicated that ANNs are a useful technique for predicting the pull-out capacity of adhesive anchors.
