1 Objective and request
On 10th January 2018, MFPA Leipzig GmbH was commissioned by SPIT with the assessment of the re-
sistance to fire of the bonded anchor RAMSET Chemset 801 Xtrem / RAMSET Chemset 800 Xtrem with
fire exposure from one side and anchored to a reinforced concrete base in order to determine the charac-
teristic parameters for a load under tensile stress.
2 Description of the tested structure
The Injection system RAMSET Chemset 801 Xtrem / RAMSET Chemset 800 Xtrem is a bonded anchor
consisting of a cartridge with injection mortar RAMSET Chemset 801 Xtrem / RAMSET Chemset 800 Xtrem
and a steel element. The steel element consist of a threaded rod CHEMSET ANCHOR STUD with washer
and a hexagon nut or a CHEMSET ANCHOR STUD XTREM stud or a reinforcing bar. The steel element
is placed into a drilled hole filled with injection mortar and is anchored via the bond between metal part,
injection mortar and concrete and can be used in cracked and uncracked reinforced concrete. The bonded
anchor may be anchored under static and quasi-static load in reinforced and unreinforced normal concrete
with a stability class between C 20/25 and C 50/60 in accordance with DIN EN 206:2014-07 [1]. No further
description of the product will be provided here and reference is made to the European Technical Assess-
ment ETA-18/0045 [2] dated 22. February 2018.
Threaded rods with washer and hexagon nut made of galvanized steel (property class ≥ 8.8) in sizes M8
and M12 each with one anchorage depth were tested. The test set-up and the results are shown in test
report PB 3.2/17-410-1 [3].
3 Test analysis and evaluation
The test evaluation for steel failure was conducted in accordance with TR 020:2004-05 [4]. A graphical
analysis of the test results can be found in enclosure 2. In order to determine the characteristic tensile
stresses, the values were evaluated on the basis of the test results.
For size M12, one result is odd. For the test result which is marked in orange in enclosure 2, diagram 2.2,
the failure occurred so early due to slipping of the hexagonal nut that it is to be traced back to the very low
or non-existent protrusion of the threaded rod (compared to the other test specimens) when the nut was
tightened. This result is therefore not included in the evaluation.
The following characteristic parameters for the load under central tension can be quoted for the Injection
system RAMSET Chemset 801 Xtrem / RAMSET Chemset 800 Xtrem on this basis (table 1). The charac-
teristic steel stress at normal temperature also has to be taken into account for the assessment; the smaller
stress value is decisive in each case.
The determination of the characteristic parameters for other failure types (e.g. “pulling out”, or “concrete
break-out” was not the subject of the tests; they can be determined according to the simplified verification
procedure described in TR 020:2004-05 [4], or experimentally according to the method described in
TR 048:2016-08 [5].

4 Special notes
The evaluation above only applies to the Injection system RAMSET Chemset 801 Xtrem / RAMSET Chem-
set 800 Xtrem which is installed in compliance with the installation regulations of ITW and the European
Technical Assessment ETA-18/0045 [2] dated 22. February 2018.
The evaluation still only applies in uncracked and cracked reinforced concrete.
The results of the tests for threaded rods made of galvanized steel may also be transferred to threaded
rods made of stainless steel A4 and high corrosion resistant steel (HCR).
The assessment applies in general to a one-sided fire exposure of the structural elements. In the event of
a fire load on several sides, the verification procedure can only be applied if the distance to the outer edge
of the nail anchor is c ≥ 300 mm and ≥ 2 hef.
Based on this, the specified loads also apply to lateral tension and/or diagonal tension.
The assessment only applies in conjunction with reinforced concrete ceilings of strength class ≥ C 20/25
and ≤ C 50/60 acc. to DIN EN 206:2014-07 [1] that have at least the same fire resistance rating as the fire-
resistance period of the anchors. In addition, the notes contained in DIN EN 1992-1-2:2010-12 [6] (see
section 4.5) on the avoidance of concrete spalling apply. This means that the moisture content must be
less than three % by weight (or four according to the National Annex).
This document does not replace any certificate of conformity or usability as defined by the building regula-
tions (national/European).
