This paper presents the technical background for the seismic qualification procedures for post-installed anchors in the European Technical Approval Guideline (ETAG 001) seismic annex issued in 2013. We discuss requirements for a comprehensive guideline and reference supporting documentation. Numerical studies to generate new simulated seismic protocols for anchors are summarized with focus on their application to Europe. To reduce the time and cost of anchor product qualification testing while fulfilling the requirement of European building codes to assess two performance categories, we combine the results of our numerical studies to generate novel testing protocols that allow for the assessment of anchor behavior at multiple levels in a unified protocol. Validation tests demonstrate that the unified protocol results in anchor performance comparable with that achieved in multiple, single-performance-level tests.
本文介绍了2013年发布的欧洲技术认可指南（ETAG 001）地震附录中后装锚栓抗震鉴定程序的技术背景。我们讨论了全面指南和参考支持文件的要求。总结了为锚栓生成新的模拟地震试验方案的数值研究，重点是其在欧洲的应用。为了在满足欧洲建筑规范评估两种性能类别的要求的同时，减少锚栓产品鉴定测试的时间和成本，我们结合数值研究结果生成了新颖的测试方案，该方案允许在统一的试验方案中评估锚栓在多个水平上的性能。验证测试表明，统一试验方案得出的锚栓性能与在多个单性能水平测试中获得的性能相当。
