Fastenings to Concrete and Masonry Structures

This book has been written by a group of authors drawn from western Europe, the USA and Japan. The aims of the book are to compile and compare published research on the behaviour of fastening systems, propose a consistent approach to the design of fastenings based on current empirical and theoretical models and develop design methods that account for the effects of fastenings and the loads they carry on the behaviour of the structures to which they are attached."
