Through Bolt Design EC2

This document provides guidance on strengthening slabs against punching shear failure using through bolts. It discusses design considerations like hole diameter and surface preparation. Through bolts function similarly to double headed shear studs and can be designed according to structural concrete codes. The document includes a sample design calculation to strengthen a flat slab using through bolts, checking the punching shear capacity and designing the bolt reinforcement based on Eurocode 2.

Punching shear strengthening with through bolts

When slabs need to be strengthened against punching shear, one


solution is to drill through the slab, insert HIT-V rods, tighten them
with dynamic sets on top and bottom of the slab and inject adhesive
mortar Hilti HIT-RE 500V3 from the bottom injection washer. The
following aspects should be considered:

- Holes should not be too narrow. Use drill diameters recommended for rebar applications or
add even 2 – 4 mm.

- If the soffit of the slab is rough, it may be necessary to put some double sided tape around
the injection washer in order to avoid HIT from leaking.

- The washers and nuts can also be installed in niches created at the ends of the holes, like
usually done for HZA-P applications.

- The working principle of through bolts is identical to that of double headed shear studs.
Therefore they can be designed according to the applicable structural concrete design code
with these specific aspects:

o If high strength bolts are used, the yield strength taken into account should not
exceed that of standard reinforcing bars. If lower steel qualities are used their
effective yield strength should be used (e.g. 8.8 -> fyk,rebar = 500 N/mm2; 5.8 -> fyk,bolt
= 400 N/mm2).

o The stressed cross section of the bolts should be taken into account for steel area.

- An advantage is that the bolts can be pre-stressed with the nuts. Thus they can be fully
activated. It is recommended to apply the torque recommended for HIT-V rods with Hilti HIT
RE 500V3 in the technical documentation. A higher installation torque may be considered.

Since the design follows the structural concrete design codes, Hilti cannot provide design support
for this application. It is expected that better designs will be made by professional designers with
experience in reinforced concrete and who can use adequate design software.

On the following pages a simplified example demonstrates the principles how such a design can
be performed according to the codes. The clauses quoted refer to BS-EN 1992-1-1(2005).
