NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Sections 200 - 599 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 202 4 Volume 2 586-3.01 Drilling and Grouting Anchors. All holes shall be drilled by means of a rotary impact drill. Except as indicated below, if reinforcing steel is encountered, the reinforcing steel shall be cut and removed by means of a core drill. The remainder of the drilling shall be done with the rot ary impact drill. Where plans indicate significant design reinforcement, a non -destructive investigation shall be done to determine the location of existing reinforcing steel prior to drilling. If after the non-destru ctive investigation, reinforcing steel is determined to be in conflict with, or encountered during the drilling operation, the DCES shall be notified to determine the appropriate course of action. The Contractor shall not perform drilling with a lubricant, except in this case water is not considered a lubricant. Drilling methods shall not cause spalling, or other damage to concrete. Concrete spalled, or otherwise damaged by the Contractor's operatio ns shall be repaired at no additional cost to the State. Holes shall be surface dry and shall have had all foreign and loose material removed immediately prior to grout placement. Prior to anchor placement in the grouted hole, all material which might interfere with bond between the anchor and the grout shall h ave been removed. This includes, but is not limited to: moisture, grease, dirt, mill scale and rust. Rust which cannot be removed from the anchor even by vigorous scrubbing with a wire brush is considered firmly bonded and may remain, unless more specific instructions are provided in the manufacturer’s installation procedures. The depth of hole and hole diameter shall be in accordance with the grout manufacturer's recommendation, and shall consider: anchor diameter, strength of existing concrete, anchor spa cing and edge distance. The distance from the bottom of the hole to the nearest free surface of a structural element, shall be at least 1 5/8 inches or as recommended by the manufacturer, whichever is greater. The length of any plastic sleeve used as an aid to grout placement shall not be included in the length of the hole. The Contractor may increase the embedment length beyond that required by the contract documents if approved by the Engineer, at no additional cost to the State. Grout shall be stored, mixed, and placed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. No grout shall be placed at a temperature outside the range recommended by the grout manufacturer. Anchors shall be inserted full depth into the grouted hole and shall be manipulated or rotated in accordance with the Manufacturer's recommendations to ensure complete coverage of the embedded anchor with grout. After insertion of the anchor, all excess gr out shall be struck off flush with the concrete face. Care shall be taken to prevent grout from running out of the drilled hole. Should the grout fail to fill the hole after anchor insertion, additional grout shall be added immediately after insertion of t he anchor to allow a flush strike -off. If the anchor is inserted in a hole with an axis that is predominantly horizontal, care shall be taken to prevent grout from running down the face of the concrete. All uses of Anchoring Materials - Chemically Curing, both permanent and temporary, shall be installed by a certified ACI/CRSI Adhesive Anchor Installer. Temporary applications using §701 -07 Anchoring Materials - Chemically Curing shall be inspected by the Contractor every 90 days at a minimum to ensure that the adhesive anchor is performing as intended. The Contractor shall check for such things as creep of anchor material, movement of the anchors, loose bolts, loose nuts, etc. Te mporary items anchored using §701 -07 Anchoring Materials – Chemically Curing shall be removed or abandoned, in such a way that the anchors are no longer subject to any load upon co mpletion of their temporary use.
A.Anchor Pull -Out Testing. Table 586 -1 Number of Anchors to be Pull -Out Tested gives the number of anchors (N1) to be tested for any lot size. The Engineer will randomly choose the anchors to be tested. Testing of anchors in a lot shall not begin until all the anchors in the lot are installed. If one (N1) anchors fails, N2 indicates the number of additional anchors that must be tested. If only one anchor fails (N1+N2), the lot will be accepted. If more than one anchor fails, all remaining anchors must be tested. A lot size is determined by the Contractor, but must meet the following criteria:
1.A lot size shall not exceed 600 anchors.
586-3 01
NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Sections 200 - 599 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 202 4 Volume 2 2. All anchors in a lot must be installed within a two -month period.
3.Any anchors installed beyond the two -month period set forth in 2 above shall be part of another lot.
4.A lot shall only include anchors grouted with a single product
5.A lot shall only include anchors of the same type, diameter and embedment depth. Table 586 -1 NUMBER OF ANCHORS TO BE PULL -OUT TESTED LOT SIZE N1 N2

B.Test Equipment. The test equipment shall consist of a load cell, jacking system, a frame to distribute the jack load, couplers to connect the jack to the anchors, and appropriate safety devices. A calibrated pressure gauge with hydraulic ram is equivalent to a load cell. Prior to starting the testing, the Contractor shall supply the Engineer with a certificate of calibration for the load cell performed within the previous six months by an independent testing agency. Supports for the frame used to distribute the jack load shall be located outside a circle centered at the anchor. The circle shall have a diameter equal to 2 inches plus twice the anchor embedment length, but need not exceed 24 inches. The frame and jack shall be positioned so that the load is applied along the axis of the anchor. Chains or cables shall be used to connect the various pieces of the tensioning system so that free flying projectiles will not be created by the failure of an anchor coupling or other portion of the testing system.
C.Test Load. The test load for bolts shall be 90% of the ASTM proof load. When no proof load is given in the ASTM specifications for the bolt, the test load shall be the yield strength. The test load for reinforcing bar shall be 90% of the yield strength. Table 586 -2, Anchor Pull -Out Test Loads lists the test loads for the most commonly used anchor bolts and rebar steels.
