CONFIDENCE IN CODE COMPLIANCE
Hilti anchors are in compliance with the latest ACI and IBC codes
The 2015 International Building Code (IBC) has been published and is being adopted across the United
States. It references the 2014 version of the American Concrete Institute Building Code Requirements for
Structural Concrete (ACI 318-14) and while ACI 318-14 has been completely revised, the only significant
change for anchor design is that “Anchorage to Concrete” has moved from Appendix D and is now in the
full body of the code in Chapter 17. Note that the technical content of Chapter 17 has not changed.
ICC-ES evaluation service reports (ESRs) for anchors are in the process of being updated to reflect
recognition under the new building code. ESRs for Hilti anchor systems tested and evaluated according to
AC193, AC308, AC60 and AC232 have been updated to reflect recognition under the 2015 IBC. An
updated list of ICC-ES ESRs by Acceptance Criteria is shown below:
