Code provisions in the 2006 IBC require the industry to factor in whether conditions exist that may cause concrete to crack.
The provisions also require new anchorage solutions. Simpson Strong-Tie Anchor Systems has several code-listed solutions for cracked concrete, including SET-XP Epoxy-Tie adhesive (see ICC-ES evaluation report: ESR-2508), Titen HD screw anchor (ESR-2713) and Strong-Bolt wedge anchor (ESR-1771).
